LinkedIn career expert Catherine Fisher told “GMA” that we are currently in a hiring season. She said that there are more jobs available than people looking for work.

"There are 20 million jobs on LinkedIn right now," Fisher said.

Recruiters are seeking possible candidates like De Jesus both online and at career fairs around the country. And this time around, many recruiters are telling candidates that skills may be more important than schooling.

“What’s happening is that there are so many jobs,” said Fisher. “Because of this, companies are starting to look at what they used to use as these gating factors, and realized that what’s more important is getting the right employee who's got the right skills.”

Sites such as LinkedIn can be valuable resources for those looking for a new career opportunity.

"It’s less about what school did you go to, do you have that four-year college degree, [and more about] can you do that job that we need you to do to be successful,” Fisher added.
