17.04.2024 Today’s Insights on High-Growth Marketing, Digital and Creative Jobs, from Robert Half and LinkedIn
Dear Students,
Outside of Analytics and IT, what’s currently another one of the hottest career areas among candidates like you? Interestingly, it’s a field that may or may not be STEM-eligible, depending on the specific major and university. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “…overall employment [in this space] is projected to grow 6% annually by 2031, adding 68,600 jobs and providing 115,800 openings yearly.”
Any guesses? We’re referring to the broad space of “Marketing, Digital and Creative jobs,” described by LinkedIn this past July as being “among the most in-demand roles in the US today.”
While such career paths certainly leverage a range of “hard skills,” which ambitious international students like you can learn at university, through online courses, independent study (e.g., through Forage) and elsewhere, aspiring professionals like you and your friends will come to recognize, through coaching, just how essential developing Western power skills (including communication, curiosity, analytical skills, innovation, initiative and many others) will be to a successful global marketing-related career, as well.
Wishing you a creative evening!
Best,
Amy-Louise
