The Best Top Jobs of the Future

If you are planning on going to school to learn skills for a job, you should be aware of the employment prospects for the future. Certain jobs will be hotter than others in the future and others will become obsolete. As more people continue to work online and companies are restructuring to allow employees to work at home, jobs are restructuring themselves. Some of the top jobs of the future according to job network gurus include the following jobs:

Health Care

The health care industry is one area that is not going away - ever. As long as people continue to live, there will be a need for employment in the health care industry. This is actually a field that has continued to expand over the past few years and is en route to expand even further. No longer is the health care industry comprised of just doctors and nurses - it is an assorted team of people who are all striving to work to make others healthier. You do not have to go to years of school for many of the jobs that are available in the health care industry that pay a good salary, either. Many of them require just a two year education and training before you can begin. The health care industry is one of the safest industries to work in. The salaries are very stable and the employment opportunities are always rising.

Technical Support

Those who say that technical employment is on a decline are incorrect. We are in the middle of a technological revolution and the demand for technical jobs, especially those in technical support, is on the rise. Like some of the jobs in the heath care industry, the technical industry does not require an extensive education. This is an industry that relies more on skills than degrees and offers great salary opportunities. If you are interested in technology, consider jobs in the technical support field. You can land a job that pays well by going to school at night or online in this field.

Service Industry

The service industry, like the health care industry, is one that is not going away anytime soon. Employment opportunities for this industry are vast and include direct or indirect service of customers and clients. Services such as hair care, spa services, massage therapy, janitorial and custodial services are not going to go away. These are jobs that require very little education, although you do need a license to work on hair in most states and also in massage therapy. These licenses can be obtained after less than a year of school. Computer technology cannot replace these services and people will continue to want to look and feel good, no matter what the employment climate.

Take a look on a job network site to see about employment predictions and salaries for certain types of jobs. Right now, the employment market is hot for jobs that are more oriented towards skills and service rather than careers in the business sector.

Common job interview questions and how to respond to them

In this article we aim to look at the most common questions you will be asked during an important Job interview and what you should consider when answering them. There is nothing worse than being caught off guard by an interview question and stuttering out some ramblings that don't make sense. So it is always best to try and think of good answers for expected questions. Each different company and job type will lead to specific questions but in this article we are going to look at some common questions that crop up.

Can you tell me about yourself? This is an extremely common question and can be expected in almost all job interviews. So why is it asked? Well most interviewers think they can tell a lot about the interviewee from how they respond to this. Apparently they first response you give to this question is how you see yourself and your defining characteristic. For example if you respond with "I get on with everyone", then you will be seen as sociable and extraverted. If you answer with "I am career minded and focussed" then the interviewer will see you as ambitious. The answers will be viewed as positive or negative depending on the job type. If you have trouble answering this question, then it can be seen that you aren't very interested in the job and aren't prepared for business situations.

Where do you see yourself in five years? This is another classic that comes up in a lot of interview situations. The interviewer will be most likely checking that the job you are applying for fits in with the career path you see yourself on. They want to know if you are going to work hard and stick around. It is not a good idea to tell the interviewer that you want to work with animals if you are applying for an accounting job. This sends a message that you will not be around for long and will probably leave to try and pursue your long term interests. There are two ways of looking at this, one is maybe keep this radical career plan to yourself and give them an answer they want to hear or the sensible option would be to consider if this job is even right for you and not something that is tied into what you aim to do in the future.

How do you balance your work and life? With this question, the interviewer wants to establish that you will be focussed at work and will be organised in your out of work time. They want to know whether you have set plans for taking children to school or if you have social pursuits that will be interfering with work. The best way to answer these questions are to be honest, but demonstrate how you are organised and can handle these situations.

What did you do during your gap in employment? Most people will have some gaps in their CVs where they will have been between work . The interviewer will be looking for an answer that shows you haven't wasted this time and have done something constructive. Not everyone will have been to Africa, volunteering to build schools so you will need to provide an answer that makes you appear to have gained something. Learning new skills, (i.e programming languages), travelling and taking in culture, reflected over your desired career path are all good examples of using your time constructively.

These are only some of the common questions that will crop up during interviews. Look for further articles where we will look at more expected questions and how to prepare for them.
