4) Part-qualified accountants
5) Civil engineers
6) Payroll team leaders
7) Java developers
8) Safety case engineers
9) Building surveyors
10) Project managers
Nigel Heap, managing director of Hays in UK and Ireland, told City AM,
“Looking for a new job always features highly amongst new year resolutions, but to keep those resolutions alive candidates need to understand how much demand there is for their skills and how likely they will be to secure another role. This will ensure it doesn’t just stay a pipe dream and can become a reality.
“We’re seeing continued investment in these areas across the UK. High on employers’ wish lists is candidates with experience in these areas, a willingness to work hard and the ability get some great results,” he added to City AM.
“If you’re looking for a new challenge in 2018, now is a crucial time to evaluate where you want to take your career, reflect on how your skills could benefit an employer and find out where your next role could be by looking at what jobs are available,” said Heap.
