Best Jobs According to Experts

Best jobs is defined by salary and the expected growth of that particular field.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov, oco.bls.gov), only two of the top ten fastest growing professions require a graduate degree (master's or higher).

The top five fastest growing jobs you can get with a bachelor's degree are:

Biomedical Engineer. Get a bachelor's degree in biology or other related field. Biomedical engineers combine their knowledge of biology, medicine and engineering to work with prosthetics, artificial organs, medical equipment, etc.

Network Systems and Data Communications Analyst. It's all about computer systems and networks. As companies increase their use of network technology, these professionals will use their expertise to facilitate the implementation and maintenance of those networks.

Financial Examiners. Financial examiners should earn a bachelor's degree in finance, business, economics or accounting. to qualify for this quickly growing field.

Skin Care Specialist. This career requires a certification rather than a formal degree. Skin care specialists provide treatments that promote healthy skin and enhance appearance.

Biochemist/Biophysicist. Biochemists and biophysicists work within the medical and pharmaceutical industries conducting research and developing products that contribute to health and well-being.

For additional information, and a list of more fast-growing careers, visit The Bureau of Labor Statistics, bls.gov.

Job Rating Info

You can't always believe what you read. I read a report that identified these 20 jobs here as the best anywhere based on their criteria.

It was on a job rating website and they were in order from best to worst which I don't do here. I list them randomly because I don't want copyright infringement trouble but anyway you should have seen the comments. There were hundreds of them saying this list is full of crap.

They said a lot of these jobs weren't as good as they sounded and suggested other jobs that are better.

Chapter 2. Pitching for a Job or Product

Original Methods to Get a Job

Several years ago I read a book about how to break into the entertainment industry which essentially said identify the few people who can give you the job you want then do whatever you have to, including wacky things to get noticed enough to get an interview.

One guy sent some manager a cute card everyday saying it's coming, it's coming, leaving it a mystery then on the fifth day, sent the guy his screenplay.

Another guy had business cards made up that said free bottle of champagne to anyone who can get me an interview with J.J. Bigshot then stood in front of the building where J.J. Bigshot worked handing them out. J.J. Bigshot heard about it and gave the guy an interview saying anyone who had that much initiative must be a good worker.

Some chick sent a nude picture around with her cover letter. She wanted to be a cocktail waitress.

I'm not big on these tactics they sometimes call guerrilla job searching because to me they seem demeaning, tacky, cheap, cheesy, take your pick of adjectives but the thing is that they're now the buzz. They say they work.

I was watching a so-called reality show which I think was scripted then acted out to look spontaneous. This one guy gets an interview with some bigshot who disses him by reading his e-mail on a big screen on the wall while the guy is talking to him so the guy comes out and says Mr. Bigshot is a member of some horse stable where his kids go to ride horses. He's got kids too so he'll join and befriend this guy then get the big real estate contract he wants.

In the next few scenes they show this guy going to the horse stable with his family befriending this other guy with his family. It seemed like a big load of pretense to me but you have to admit that in today's competitive world, you have to dream up roundabout ways to get a job or accomplish what you want.

About twenty years ago, I was interviewed by a guy for a job. I saw him a few weeks later at the YMCA and asked him if he remembered me. He said no. That's how it is in the real world. Some guy you spend seven minutes or more with doesn't remember you three weeks later.

Of course I believe your merits should speak for themselves and for you but sometimes it's just not enough. Sometimes, just short of embarrassing yourself like the guy on youtube.com who made the stupid video about himself as God's gift to the world, you have to think up alternative methods to get what you want.

Be aware that these methods can easily backfire. You try a cheap stunt to get noticed with no backbone or substance to back it up, you're screwed.

The guys at godaddy.com which registers website names for nine bucks a year knew they were the cheapest but they weren't getting the marketshare because nobody knew they existed so they made up some TV commercials with a busty broad and advertised them during the superbowl. Within a week, they gained 15 points of marketshare.

The squeaky wheel gets the oil. Genius introverted nerds don't get noticed so they miss out on the opportunities.

Some people have a natural antipathy to gimmicks or pop culture stunts like me. I can't stand gimmicky people looking for attention. If your mark is a serious person, don't even try it. To my way of thinking, cuteness went out of style right after high school.

You're not marketing the next rap group to a bunch of young people. You're selling yourself for a job or pitching a new product. Think twice before you try some offbeat method just because you read about it somewhere or saw it on youtube.com.

The best way to brand yourself as a stellar worker is through your work and personality. All employers want somebody impressive, not generic. Speak through your work and who you are.

No means not today but maybe next week.

Job hunting is simple:

1.) Discover what you're really good at.

2.) Culture it.

3.) Identify the exact people and companies who can use your abilities.

4.) Tell them and show them what you can do.

The things all bosses look for are very basic:

An upstanding person, no bull. You're there to work and not gossip or be frivolous.

An honest person not looking to rip the company off any chance they get, even on time like sleeping on the job.

A person who can speak clearly.

A sociable, likeable person.

A person who can think on their feet enough to lead if necessary.

Someone who loves the work or the action.

Someone who can get along with everybody.

Some TV journalism show did a study where they had a geeky introvert who had a good resume apply for the same jobs in the financial field (which is all about people contacts) and a likeable, extraverted guy without much of a track record. He got the job offer way more than the other guy.

It's about your look. Do you look passionate and inspired about life in general?

Be innovative.

Be sociable.

If you have the guts to call managers cold to ask for an interview, your best chances to get past the secretary are before 9 o'clock and after 5 o'clock when she's gone and he might answer the phone.

Try to get hired part-time, as a temp or as a consultant for a contract job. These are ways for managers to look at you. If they like what they see, they'll offer you a fulltime job.

The Pitch for Anything

They want a product with a huge market potential that's simple to understand.

Be prepared.

Be energetic.

Believe and put your heart into it.

Your level of passion will determine your level of success.

Don't sell, tell the story. Don't overtell to the point of boredom.

Act like you're not desperate, just confident.

Never let people see you sweat.

Study the competition.

Learn about your field.

Be prepared to answer any question.

Look clean and neat.

Don't be ruled by emotions.

Be your own worst critic. Spot your own bullshit.

Talk is cheap. Be a doer.

Make people laugh

Be real. Be believable. Don't be over-the-top.

You need clarity and focus.

It has to be quick. It has to have an aha moment for the potential investor.

Be ready for the hard questions like what exactly will the money I give you do to get you closer to your grand goal. Put yourself in the guy's spot. What questions would you ask?

If you don't believe in it, it will show.

Have a retail price for your product ready.

Say your piece then leave the guy alone to think about it. If you try for overkill, you cheapen yourself.

Don't come off like it's do or die. This guy is just one potential investor. You should believe in your product regardless of the opinions of others. Even if you get a thousand rejections, if you believe, you must keep going.

Elevator Pitch/ Speed Networking/ Twitpitch

An elevator pitch is business idea pitch popularized on some business TV shows where people make a quick one-minute pitch to possible investors.

There are public events where investors invite people to come and give elevator pitches. Some are billed as contests.

Look for a New Job While Employed

I say if you're looking for greener pastures while in a job, go for it.

I read somewhere that if your employer catches you doing this, to him it's disloyalty. He can legally fire you for it. The legal argument is that you are a potential risk for taking clients and/ or confidential information to a competitor.

I say if you hate your job now or want more money, you got nothing to lose.

Post your resume up on the internet. If your current employer finds it, so what. No glory without risk and guts.

Second Life/ You as Avatar/ Virtual World

Second Life is a 3d virtual world where an individual goes, develops a fictional character called his or her avatar then socializes with the other avatars in that fantasy world.

You enter these scenarios with your character/ avatar and take on an identity interacting with other people in this virtual world.

For some people it's fun. For other people, it's meaningless.

Pay real money to buy Linden dollars which allows you to buy stuff to enhance your avatar.

It's about developing a character with other people who also have avatars.

Some big companies have a presenceon secondlife including companies that recruit for real jobs like semperllc.com/metaverse

Career Education Websites

Most states have Career Information Delivery Systems (CIDS). Look for these systems in secondary schools, postsecondary institutions, libraries, job training sites, vocational rehabilitation centers and employment service offices.

Job seekers can use the systems' computers, printed material, microfiche and toll-free hotlines to obtain information on occupations, educational opportunities, student financial aid, apprenticeships and military careers. Ask counselors for specific locations.

Employer Sponsorship of Education

Some companies pay for you to continue your education. They expect you to continue working for them after you complete your degree so they can recoup their investment.

Some companies or organizations don't pay for your continuing education but if you get another degree, your pay grade goes up. This is why a lot of teachers get master degrees, simply to jack up their pay. They do it part-time, most of it as e-learning then if there's an internship involved, they do it in the summer.

Employment Agencies Fraud

Beware that many ads in many publications purporting to either find you a good job either here or overseas or touting any kind of business opportunity could be a fly-by-night scam taking as much money from as many suckers as possible in a short period of time then moving on and setting up under a new name.

These ads are often simply too good to be true, offering either a high paying job quickly or overseas when in actuality, the job market is tough everywhere for good jobs and many countries have tough laws about letting foreigners in to work so do yourself a favor and don't fall for them. If you want to work overseas, do your own research at the library or through this book.

Employment agencies, head hunters whatever you want to call them sometimes charge a fee for helping you network to find a job (often, the employer pays) but the government has these services and offers them for free if you know where to look.

The business section of your library has some good books and newspapers to help you find a job.

Investigations into some of these employment firms, particularly those catering to professionals, have revealed that many are scams, taking large upfront fees for essentially just making up a resume and then giving the applicant a generic list of corporate addresses, something you can find in any library. These firms prey on people when they're down and out, looking for a job.

Your local colleges can be a good source of ideas. Even if you're not a student, you might still be allowed to use their employment services. Just act like a student and nobody will question you or register for one course and get a student I.D.

If an employment agency charges an upfront fee then don't bother with it. If they're legitimate, they won't charge you until you get a job. Oral promises are meaningless. Get any promises in writing.

There are phony scams like someone placing an ad pretending to be a government office looking for workers, then when you take the bait, they charge you an upfront application fee.

Never call a 900 number in a job ad.

Use the free government employment agency in your area.

Guest in Media/ Get on Talk Shows

Get the word out; establish yourself as an expert in your field and tag along everything you write with a quick note listing your website address for a catalog, dealership opportunity or more information.

Become a guest on as many of the radio and television talk shows or interview type programs as possible. Actually, this is much easier to bring about than most people realize.

Write a letter to the producer of these programs then follow up an in-person visit or telephone call. Your initial contact should emphasize that your product or service would be of interest to the listeners or viewers of the program - perhaps even saving them time and money.

With cable TV and talk radio, shows need interesting guests which could be you promoting your business if you've got an entertaining hook but you have to plug away sending queries to all the broadcast media out there, the addresses of which are in the broadcaster directories at the library.

Get yourself listed in guestfinder.com which is a directory that the media uses to find guests.

For every radio interview you solicit, offer the radio station ten free of your products or books to give away to their audience.

When you actually go on TV or on the radio, it's a soft sell. You're not even selling. You're filling up the show with interesting content and in return, the host will ask you how people can get a hold of you whereupon you mention your website and toll-free number.

Get a website (shark-meat.com) and/ or a vanity toll-free number like 800-shark-meat if you're selling shark meat with merchant credit card status so potential customers can get your contact info quickly then call up and order by credit card.

Long-Term Unemployment More Than a Year Websites

If you've been unemployed for a year or so, either you have lost the will in your soul, there are no jobs in your field or a bit of both.

Get real. Move onto a new line of work where the jobs are like the allied health professions or information technology.

Many Employers Look at Your Credit Score

Many employers in any business that deals with money look at prospective employees' credit ratings to see how good or honest you are in handling money.

Employers in other fields look at your credit score too.

Offbeat Job-Seeking Stunts

People have done weird things to try to get a job interview. Sometimes it works but you have to be aware that some people don't take kindly to stunts geared to help someone get a job because they seem cheesy, exploitive and gimmicky.

Don't send a gift to someone you don't know.

Don't send a pizza with your resume attached to it. To me, it's not cool.

Who Do I Send My Resume To?

There is a relatively simple way to target just the few employers you're looking for in an internet search.

Start with your job position and add the term "submit resume" or "job application" to get:

carpenter submit resume

carpenter job application

Next, some search engines have an advanced feature where you can narrow your search to either zipcode or telephone area code. Use it.

If they don't have one, go like this:

carpenter submit resume plus zipcode number

carpenter job application plus area code number

Finally, you have to use this feature to eliminate all the resume services out there who are trying to sell their resume submitting services to job seekers like you. They invariably use the word "free" to try to suck you into their website.

A company looking to hire people on its website will not use the word "free." They will simply say submit your resume (or job application) to their address which contains their zipcode and phone/ fax number with area code so in order to try to eliminate these resume submitting services from coming up on your search as much as you can, you must either use the advanced search function on your search engine to remove any websites with the word "free" in them or type in your search term something like this:

carpenter, submit resume plus zipcode number - free

carpenter, job application plus area code number - free

carpenter, submit resume plus Alabama - free

carpenter, job application plus Birmingham, AL - free
