Trendy new jobs emerging

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.
