Jobs You’re Most Likely to Get

Posted on | March 3, 2009 | No Comments

Your success at finding a job depends on where and what kind of job you’re looking for.  Let’s focus on the latter–the what.  Some jobs are easier to get because there are more openings.  Some are easier to get because there are fewer people qualified to take them.  And then there are health care-related jobs.  There are more health care jobs posted online than any other category of jobs (615,400 health care-related jobs posted online right now).  However, relatively few people are qualified for most of the available health care jobs.

Luckily, there are other jobs for which a wider swath of the unemployed populace is qualified.

Career Fields With the Most Job Openings

1. Health Care
2. Computer & Mathematical
3. Management
4. Sales & Related
5. Office & Administrative Support

But, just in case you happen to be one of the few, the proud, the well-qualified, you can thin the competitive herd by targeting jobs that require higher education, more technical expertise and/or more work experience.
