The Bureau of Labor Statistics says roles for marketing professionals will grow by about 8 percent between 2018 to 2028. That's higher than the projected 5 percent for most other professionals.
Plus, according to Linkedin, digital marketing is the most in-demand career going into 2022. How do you capitalize?
LinkedIn says in a blog post, The Most Valuable Digital Marketing Skills to Have on Your LinkedIn Profile This Year, its "internal data shows digital marketing and social media jobs are in high demand. Half of the top 10 jobs posted on LinkedIn are in the digital or media space."
As noted several times previous, the primary reason for that is how the world has changed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The demand to reach consumers in the digital space is far greater than it was before the pandemic.
LinkedIn projected these three occupations as to be among the fastest growing in year-over-year growth: media coordinator, search manager and social media coordinator. And, the most in-demand occupations are: digital marketing specialist, digital account executive and social media manager.
From a personal standpoint, being a social media and digital marketing specialist has been a rewarding career opportunity that came to me out of the blue.
I was a journalist for 20 years. I lost my job at a newspaper after my position was eliminated. It was a challenging point in my life as I spent, up to that point, more than half my life dedicated to journalism. So, when I lost my job, I didn't know what to do.
I was introduced to content management and social media. It has done great things for me and my family, more than I could've ever thought. For the first time maybe in my life, I'm in a stable and growing profession!
