7500 New Jobs in Massachusetts….

That’s how many professional, business, and tech jobs have been added over the past year. And more companies are hiring big.

Here are a few of them:

• LogMeIn, a company that lets you login and access your data from anywhere, has 37 jobs posted and plans to add 100 jobs before the year is out.
• Software company PegaSystems has 25 jobs listed with a salary of $70K and above.
• SkyWorks Solutions, a semiconductor company that made over $1B last year, is hiring for over 40 jobs ranging from applications engineering to product marketing and cost analysts.

And, finally, we see evidence of additional hires at Power Home Remodeling Group which is expanding into Boston and Atlanta later this year. They project the expansion will add up to a combined 400 new jobs.

All of these leads have something in common: They are from companies that make something. If you’re applying to a company involved with product design; showing an interest in the industry – what they do, how they do it, can be as important as the skills and experience you bring.
