Industries For Sales Jobs

It's a good time to be in sales. With the economy on an upswing,
virtually every industry is looking for competent, dedicated
professionals to keep business going. Technology, legal reforms
and demographic changes have added to the need for professionals
in virtually every industry for sales.
"It's a very vibrant market. Within executive recruiting,
we're seeing a boom that really mirrors the late '90s," says
John Meeks, the Vienna, Va.-based president of professional
services for Vedior, a staffing firm. When the Internet bubble
burst and following the recession after 9/11, some sales jobs
were cut. But now sales departments are bulking up their lean
staffs.
The trend for hiring shows no signs
of stopping, according to Cindy Hazen, the founder of Sales
Executives, a recruiting firm based in Nashville, Tenn. "We
have been booming for the last two years in sales and project
to be booming for the next five," she says. A
survey released by ExecuNet, an executive recruiting company
based in Norwalk, Conn., in July of this year revealed that
sales was the fastest-growing field for executive jobs.....
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
The professional services industry also has benefited from
Sarbanes-Oxley-mandated changes. The new laws raised the level
of responsibility to the senior level and put scrupulous accountants
in high demand.
"A good accountant with a good background can name their
price," says Hazen, the owner of Sales Executives.

“Impending Crisis” Too Many Jobs-
Too Few People
by Roger Herman, Tom Olivo and Joyce Gioia
By the year 2010, there will be a labor shortage of 10,033,000
workers for open jobs. That’s over 10 MILLION unfilled jobs. These projections
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics don’t even take into account the
growing skills gap in the workforce today and into the future.
