Trendy new jobs emerging
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Have you considered that your next job may be one that was just invented? Many of these positions haven’t made it onto the radar screen of most job boards.
A recent CNN Money article named a few ‘new hot jobs’ that I thought made sense. There aren’t a lot of stats yet on how many of these opportunities exist.
Think about these emerging possibilities for contracting or consulting opportunities!
I do know that if you are keeping up with emerging trends in the workplace, you can find some clues that might even lead you to your next dream job.
Here are a few snapshots drawn from that list as well as my own.
- Director of Mobile Computing: Keep all those BlackBerries and cellphones operational.
- Company Concierge: Helps employees and customers with transportation needs, tickets and even dry cleaning, pick up and delivery!
- Computer and Video Game Artist: The artist takes a game’s concept and converts it into 2D or 3D computer art.
- Blog Editor: Manages and moderates blogs. They are now heavily used by companies as a vehicle to promote their products and do PR for them.
- Human rights professional: Works for places like Amnesty International and write position papers.
- Parent Coordinator: Helps negotiate disputes between parents to avoid court battles.
- Household managers: Help overworked parents run their homes and businesses too.
