Jersey Offers New Job Opportunities |
06 Aug 2007 |
Jersey is a picturesque island to the south of Great Britain. Part of the British Channel islands, it is a heady mix of impressive natural beauty with quaint Old World charm. Hence, it remains a beehive of activity in the travel and hospitality sectors round the year. These sectors attract a large number of skilled professionals. However, there are growing opportunities in other new Jersey jobs as well. People in business are quite aware of Jersey's position as a preferred destination for offshore investment funds. This has created a plethora of opportunities in banking and financial services. Young educated professionals can make a fulfilling career in these new Jersey jobs. The range of jobs available includes accounting, taxation, management consulting, legal, secretarial and back office processing. The type of employment could be permanent or temporary. Besides the above sectors, there are jobs available in telecommunications, retail, construction, graphic design and fashion design. The state government has made heavy investment in education. It would bear fruit only when the educated youth of the island find gainful employment. A disconcerting factor has been the inadequate preparation for the job market. As a result, many are not employable. The recruitment agencies often conduct training and mentoring initiatives to hone the aptitude and skills of the youth. Hence, they face up to the new Jersey jobs with confidence. |
