WHAT WILL I BECOME IN 2023? SIX PROFESSIONS WITH GOOD PROSPECTS DURING THE YEAR
The COVID-19 pandemic was a stepmother to some and a mother to others. While some industries have experienced and continue to experience major upheavals, others have enjoyed explosive growth, which has meant hiring many new employees.
An example of this is the technology industry. However, it is also an example of what happens to the labor market in these sectors after the situation normalizes. And it can only be described like this - the great release.
Still, there is no room for panic, according to the career guidance platform CareerFitter, and they indicate the areas in which the most jobs are expected to be opened on a global scale.
Health field
Home health workers and health assistants are proving to be one of the most in-demand during the pandemic, and this trend will continue, the platform believes. These occupations include day-to-day care of the elderly and sick, including administering medications, taking patients' temperatures and blood pressures, serving, and ambulating.
Medical and health service managers will also be in demand in the post-pandemic years. Their work involves planning, directing and coordinating the business activities of healthcare providers.
Chefs
If you already enjoy cooking for people, it's time to do it for pay, advises CareerFitter, as it will be one of the most in-demand jobs globally in 2023.
The tourism sector, hotels and restaurants were some of the most affected industries during the pandemic, which affected employment in these sectors. Now they are expected to experience a renaissance of sorts, and the best part is that you don't need a college degree to get into it.
Most chefs learn their skills through work experience. However, there is no shortage of courses, and the pay for this position is expected to increase.
In 2019, for example, chef Gordon Ramsay earned about $63 million. This shows that there is no lack of prospects for the profession.
Software development
Although the technology sector is a prime example of the labor market shocks of the normality-pandemic-normality transition, software developers will remain on the crest of the wave and the need for people with similar skills and knowledge will grow. If you like to find bugs in applications and develop them, and it is still just a hobby for you, then 2023 will give you ample opportunities for professional development.
The best thing is that even if you don't have much knowledge in the field, there are enough courses that will give you everything you need within a few months. Almost.
This group also includes web developers. After all, nowadays there is no organization or service that can survive without an internet presence. Therefore, this profession is expected to be among the leaders for a long time to come. An additional advantage is that you can work from home.
Cyber security
As a core part of every company's strategy today, cybersecurity is a field that constantly needs an influx of fresh blood.
Love computers and problem solving? This job might be perfect for you. As an information security specialist, you will help companies protect their critical data and offer solutions to prevent cyber attacks. You will assess security issues that companies may face and develop protection plans.
Although many employers prefer applicants with an academic background, this is ultimately a field where practical skills are extremely important.
Logistics
With all this talk about supply chain over the past few years, it's no surprise that experts in this field will continue to be in demand. It usually looks for well-organized people who can coordinate both their activity with that of other people and organizations, as well as the activities in which they are not directly involved.
Logistics professionals can find fulfillment far beyond purely logistics companies. These are necessary for any manufacturing industry, as the way in which products reach consumers is extremely important to their success, and therefore they are willing to provide good conditions for the people who guarantee it.
If you choose this field, you will ensure that the company has the supplies necessary to manufacture its products, as well as ensure that the finished product reaches the correct destination.
Working with data
The technological society is exponentially producing more and more data and information, and companies are using this data to improve their efficiency and profitability. To be of use to them, however, you must have an analytical mind, computer skills, a passion for raw data and a desire to turn it into information that can be understood and become the basis for informed decisions.
The data scientist collects and organizes the incoming information, analyzes the organized data and explains the results in a simple way so that others can understand them, then makes recommendations based on the results of the findings made.
Of course, those moving in this direction should keep in mind that artificial intelligence is already on the scene and will only get better. And it was created precisely for that.
