    Cracking On! Love Island effect impacts career choice of nearly half of Brits

    • Careers in salons and bars are among the most sought-after jobs by the nation
    • Applications for construction roles have almost doubled since the start of new series

    From the cheeky happenings in the do bits society to the savage re-couplings, it’s the show that’s had the nation gripped all summer. While it’s no secret that Love Island has been the topic of conversation since the new season started in June, it is also surprisingly shaping the career choices of Brits. New research from Job Today found that there has been an 40% increase in applications for jobs similar to this year’s Islanders.

    As the finale of Love Island draws closer, it appears jobseekers throughout the UK are looking to follow in the footsteps of the likes of barmaid Dani Dyer, engineer Wes Nelson and makeup artist Alexandra Cane. Since the new series began, Job Today, the UK’s number one hiring app, can exclusively reveal that careers in construction, such as engineering and carpentry, have seen a 43% rise in applications.

    The beauty industry has also seen an influx in the last month with budding beauticians and hair stylists looking for their next gig. The app reported a rise of almost 2,000 applicants following the start of the reality TV show. Meanwhile, it seems that Brits are keen to mingle with the stars of the show once it wraps, as Job Today also recorded that over a quarter (26%) of the nation are looking for jobs in clubs and bars.

    Commenting on the new research, Polina Montano, co-founder at Job Today said: “This summer’s Love Island has been entertaining to say the least but proving that it’s more impactful than just what meets the eye and makes the headlines, the Islanders are inspiring jobseekers across the UK.

    “From jobs in beauty salons to bars, the data found that there was at the very least a 20% increase from June to July throughout industries that this year’s Islanders work within. It’s especially interesting given that the application process for the next series is drawing nearer as the finale approaches, so who knows maybe some jobseeker might make up the class of 2019.”
