“Hot jobs” for 2010
Posted on November 15th, 2009
JobsDB.com, one the premier online jobs search website came up with the “hot” jobs that Filipinos should apply for 2010. These include nursing, accounting, teaching, and even dog-handling. According to Jayjay Viray, managing director of JobsDB.com, while nurses and accountants continue to be in demand next year, other not-so-popular, but surprisingly high-paying jobs should also be looked into by Filipinos.
Viray said that dog-handling and security-related jobs are third on their list of “hot jobs” for next year. “Just for the Middle East, we’re seeing a demand of about 10,000 dog-handlers,” she said. According to her, a dog-handler in Middle East could get a monthly pay of as much $2,500.
One of the reasons for this, Viray said, is the continuing global fight against terrorism and security consciousness. This, she said, is pushing the demand for dog-handlers, especially those who handle bomb-sniffing dogs. “In the Middle East, security is a serious concern for many of the well-off people there,” she added.
Even here in the Philippines, there is also a demand for dog-handlers. Viray said that this is evident by the presence of bomb-sniffing dogs in the malls and in buildings.
Meanwhile, information technology (IT) is top on their list of “hot jobs” for 2010. IT workers “will still be the most in-demand locally and overseas,” she said. With many internet businesses being put up and numerous companies going online to do their selling and promotion, the demand for IT employees would still be strong.
Those who are skilled in search engine marketing and search engine optimization would be the most sought after IT workers, said Viray.
She also noted that jobs becoming in demand are those that look for skills that could be acquired by taking up short-term or vocational courses.
A certificate in dog-handling can be acquired by attending a short course could last only for six months. IT workers, on the other hand, could be a computer technician by taking up a vocational two-year computer technician course.
