It Help Desk Most Sought After Job
According to the February SEEK Employment Index, IT help desk support was the most sought-after job across Australia in January. The index also reported that job ads rose 7.1 percent across all industries in January, continuing an upward trend. Since June 2009, there has been a 31.8 percent increase in job ads in the marketplace. IT help desk support edged out administrative receptionists and retail sales assistants to become the most competitive occupation, as well as the category with the most candidates. IT architects placed fifth in January's survey of most sought-after employees.
SEEK pointed out that the first two months of 2010 have been reassuring for job seekers. The steady recovery of the labor market now seems to be showing a clear trend in the right direction. Looking at the trend in new job ads, it would appear that unemployment has peaked below the higher figures widely anticipated and a recovery could be forming. IT job ads decreased slightly in January and fell behind the national average, according to the latest results from the Olivier Job Index. Across the board, job ads rose 3.59 percent according to Olivier, and grew faster than during the previous two Januaries.
