As one of the best job agencies in the UAE, here is what we at Okool have been keenly watching: the pandemic has changed the way things work around the world for good. While life as we know it came to a standstill last year, people also put their creativity to use and continued to make life work for them with the internet. For the same reason, there has been a spurt in the growth of social media use like never before. If not for the digital connect, there would have been more far-reaching consequences as a result of simply being cut off from each other. So here is a list of the top jobs that are in demand as we acclimatize to an environment amidst the pandemic:
Mental health specialists: Behaviour therapists, psychotherapists, mental health technicians
Healthcare support staff: Home nurse, healthcare assistant, pharmacy technician
E-commerce personnel: Personal shoppers, supply chain associates, package handlers, drivers
Education professionals: Online teaching assistants, education consultants
Loan, mortgage experts: Loan closers, Escrow officers, underwriters, mortgage loan officers
Data scientists: Indian data science domain is on the rise, advanced analytics, predictive modelling and data science. In times of uncertainty, companies relying on data, demand for data analysts who can sort through information quickly.
AI Engineers: India needs more artificial intelligence engineers as the demand is only going to rise on a daily basis.
Digital content creators & marketers: YouTubers, bloggers, podcasters; SEO specialists, growth hackers, social media managers
Workplace diversity co-ordinators: Inclusion aides, diversity officers with experience in community outreach, teaching and organisational development
Full stack developers: Web development overall, front-end and back-end operations, maintenance and functioning,
The pandemic showed us that those on the frontline were the true heroes. But with the situation still unpredictable, the ones out there will soon be overcome by fatigue. More personnel will be in high demand in e-commerce as the virus has ensured that everything is carried out with safety measures in place. From health check-ups to educational classes, counselling, career guidance, social media content creation that engages a worldwide audience, there will be very few jobs that can exist without the aid of technology in the times to come.
