There are always a ton of people that are trying to predict the hot new jobs for the upcoming 2009 year. There is one career path that all of these people have slated to be the hottest new job trend, and that career is accounting. Due to the fact that the country is going through a rough time economically, there is a huge demand for skilled professional to work as accountants in the banking, financial, and insurance markets. There have been a ton of different studies and reports conducted and all of them seem to point to accounting to be the hot new job for 2009. This is the reason that there are so many people that have been considering accounting as a career. This is a great career choice for people that have been looking for a career that provides a little more stability than their current occupation. Most accountants will obtain a four year bachelor’s degree, however some will continue their education beyond that depending on which field they choose to work in. For instance, accountants that work in law may have to have experience in other fields and people that choose to work as an accountant in the law field will have to continue their education.

There are a ton of different jobs that have been decreasing in terms of the amount of professionals that are being hired. However, most of these positions in question are higher paying positions and there are actually many job openings when it comes to lower paying positions. For example, there has been a huge increase in the amount of availability for call center jobs. There are many reasons for this. Perhaps the main reason is just the fact that our society is steadily becoming more dependent on technology to complete seemingly small tasks. This has created a need for support for the companies that utilize these technologies thus creating a demand for call center professionals. Depending on which call center an employee works for, they might be responsible for certain bookkeeping tasks as well as customer billing issues. Due to the fact that many companies billing departments and services have made the transition to online, there are many people that need support making this transition. These are the reasons that so many companies are still hiring call center operators at a steadily growing rate. This is why call center jobs have been predicted as one of the hottest new job trends for 2009.

If you are in excellent shape and love to work out at the gym in a variety of different activities, why not turn your favorite pastime into a high-paying career. Personal trainers are in increasing demand, according to CNN and Money Magazine. Expected job growth between 2008 and 2014 is projected to be between 25 and 27 percent per year, meaning over 50,000 new personal trainer jobs will be opened by 2014. Most personal trainers work for large gyms and can expect to find steady, well-paying work throughout all areas of the United States. Other personal trainers become self-employed on call specialists who help people work out in the comfort of their own home. Finally, still other personal trainers work in the hotel and hospitality fields by being employed at exotic spas, luxury resorts, on cruise ships, and in high-end rehabilitation and recovery centers in California, Florida, and other exotic spots. Personal trainers must be in peak physical condition at all times during their career, but can make an average of 50,000 dollars a year in salary. Still, top earning personal physical trainers can make even more, topping out at around 81,000 dollars a year.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook for 2008 and 2009, the field of medical transcription is expected to experience higher-than-average demand as more and more people begin to reach retirement age. As the largest segment of the population, Baby Boomers, begins to leave the work force, the need for trained medical services increases exponentially. In response, more notes, documents, and other medical paperwork needs to be transcribed onto electronic databases. This is where the medical transcriptionist comes in; most medical transcriptionists work in an office setting, but many can (and do) work from home as a part-time or freelance transcriptionist. Emplyement in this field, again according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is projected to be 14 percent between the years 2008 and 2016. Translated into real numbers, about 13,000 jobs will be added every year for the next eight years in the medical transcription field. Medical transcriptionists do, however, have to undergo formal training to familiarize them with the equipment used, including the listening device. Additionally, the two year formal training programs familiarize the medical transcriptionist with medical and technical terminology which is used to diagnose and treat patients; a skill necessary for good record keeping.

Librarians and professional archivists are expected to remain consistently employed at least until 2016, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Bureau’s Occupational Outlook Handbook for 2008 and 2009 projects that the field will experience mild employment growth over the next eight years, with demand for librarians and archive specialists rising at about 4 percent every year. Most librarians are employed by local libraries, but also find work in school libraries (including elementary and high school libraries), college libraries, but also in private libraries across the nation. In addition, those holding a Master of Library Science degree can expect to find work in the national archives, which has many different repositories across the country, as well as in presidential libraries, official document archives, and in corporate archives dealing with research and development. Around 5,000 jobs in Library and Archive Sciences are expected to be added to the work force as existing librarians begin to retire or be promoted into other fields, such as supervisory roles. Librarians and Archive Specialists tend to be people who like order and are organizationally-motivated. They also tend to be fairly well read and have a breadth of knowledge that is useful in assisting other researchers.

The process involved in making out a claim on the insurance covering a vehicle, home, or even a person, can be long an involved, requiring many different specialists. Claims examiners are an integral part of that process, working to ensure that the policy’s limits and terms are met without defrauding or dispossessing the policy holder in the process. The Claims Examiner works with the information supplied by the policy holder, relevant police or other emergency personnel reports, and the observations and recommendations of the claims adjustor. The Claims Examiner then ensures that the proper paperwork has been filled out and that all rules and regulations of the policy are followed, and then passes their recommendations on to the higher office for disbursement, legal action, or other actions deemed necessary. Most Claims Examiners have no formal training except that which is given on the job, therefore enrollment in a college, university, or even a community or junior college is unnecessary. Claims Examiners are expected to experience good to very good growth between 2008 and 2014, according to Money Magazine and CNN. Job growth is expected to hover in the 15 percent range, adding over 30,000 jobs in the next six years alone. For their trouble, Claims Examiners earn an average salary of 35,000 to 42,000 dollars a year, plus are able to work in one of the most stable fields in the financial industry.

When most people think of charity work or non-profit organizations, they imagine people who are working for free, or for a nominal fee, in order to make the organization run. The truth is, however, that the managers of non-profit, not-for-profit, and charitable organizations do make good wages while helping out a range of needy people both at home and abroad. Non-Profit Managers are in charge of day-to-day operations of the non-profit organization’s office, clerical pool, accounting, and other aspects and may be expected to handle all these departments on their own in smaller non-profit organizations. Larger non-profit organizations, however, employ entire cadres of non-profit managers to assist in the smooth operation of their large funds, administration of payroll, and other aspects that keep the non-profit organization in business. For their efforts, according to CNN and Money magazine, non-profit managers can expect a salary of around 55,000 dollars on average. Larger non-profit charities and organizations, however, pay significantly more with top earners making an astounding 89,000 dollars a year in salary. The projected growth for the non-profit manager field fluctuates depending upon the yearly giving charities and other organizations experience, but should be in the 20 to 27 percent range until well into the next decade.

It is the job that started Barack Obama on to his future in politics and it is a profession that many people do not know about. As a community organizer, successful candidates can expect to make at least 30,000 dollars a year in salary while ensuring that the rights of citizens are protected. Community organizing has been rated an excellent area for job growth according to Money Magazine, CNN, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics; average growth is expected to reach 23 percent or more between 2008 and 2014. While acting as a community organizer, candidates will be advocates on the behalf of poor or marginally-poor working class people in rural areas and in urban settings as well. Some community organizers are part of a church or religious organizations’ outreach program to prevent starvation while others are part of a local neighborhood’s efforts to provide heat for elderly and low-income people over the winter. No matter what their job, community organizers will work with a variety of people in government, the legal community, the religious communities, and the general populace and have to mediate and ensure that all people’s concerns and arguments are heard fairly.

Most people think that the people working in the public areas of the human resources departments of corporations are in charge of implementing hiring policies or putting ads in the newspapers or online. Others, however, think that the job is handled by the CEO, president or other top executive. In both cases, however, they are wrong. Recruitment Managers are the responsible parties that decide what jobs need to be filled, by which candidates, and how the news of these hiring positions are advertised. In addition, Recruitment Managers are also responsible for working with other recruitment professionals, so-called “head hunters,” to fill top-level, high-paying jobs. But the Recruitment Manager position itself is a high-paying job with the median salary hovering around 80,000 dollars a year, according to an article by Money Magazine and CNN. On top of that figure, highly-qualified Recruitment Managers can expect to make upwards of 120,000 dollars a year while maintaining contacts with some of the most important people in the recruiting field. Most Recruiting Managers only have a Bachelor’s degree in business or a related field, but usually bring at least seven (7) years of prior human resources or managerial experience in order to qualify for this position. Growth is projected to increase by 30 percent or more between 2008 and 2014.

Labor Relations Managers design, implement, and modify the international policies that govern the way management and the work force cooperate in order to make a company or business successful. Most Labor Relations Managers usually have a Bachelor’s degree in business, business relations, business management, or other related field as well as 7 years of management experience. This experience is important to employers who want a manager who is able to move smoothly into the job and who understands both management’s and the labor force’s concerns. Labor Relations Managers are expected to experience better than average job growth between 2008 and 2014, according to Money Magazine and CNN; the bureau of Labor Statistics’ 2008-2009 Occupational Outlook Handbook agrees as well. The average median salary for Labor Relations Managers is around 100,000 a year. On top of that, high earners in the Labor Relations Management field can expect 250,000 a year or more in compensation for their services. Entry level jobs, themselves, offer an impressive 71,000 a year salary for the qualified applicant. On top of that, the need for competent, trained Labor Relations Managers is expected to grow by as much as 20 percent over the next four or so years.
