Homework #9
The article I chose to write about was 5 New Tech Jobs and What They Pay. This particular article talked about the types of jobs available now in the technological field, and also what new jobs are likely to become more popular in the near future. The first job that the article listed was the "Virtual Concierge." Virtual Concierges typically work in high end hotels and apartments. There job is to assist customers with everyday needs and dealing with any problems or questions that they may have. They help individuals with making phone calls and reservations or writing emails. Concierges usually make about $28,500 - $32,730.
The second job that the article listed was a "Mobile Application Developer". This job is for people who generally program and help in developing applications for certain products and mobile devices like Apple, Android, Microsoft, and others too. Many developers make applications for social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. Mobile Application Developers typically make between $61,000 and $67,000 a year.
The third job listed in the article was an "Online Reputation Manager". This title involves monitoring all aspects of the internet for negative news and publicity. When something negative or derogitory is found, it is their job to find a way to get rid of it. The objective of this job is two ensure that all information that appears about a business or individual is positive. These managers usually get paid anywhere from $50,100 to $66,040 a year.
The fourth job that was listed in the article is an "Online Store Owner". This job is for those who want to sell any unwanted goods that they have. Examples of this are people who use EBay to auction off whatever they are selling. Whatever these online sellers make depends on what they sell and how much they sell for.
The fifth and final job listed was a "Multimedia Consent Producer". This job is usually someone who is up to date with modern and future technology. They usually make about $35,500 to $54,570 a year.
I think this article you chose was extremely interesting. For some reason I was surprised that the number one job was a virtual concierge, but after reading the article it makes a lot of sense why it would be the number one job. It makes a lot of sense because with that job it is constant dealing with the every need and want of the customer. They do this weather it is in person or over the phone or in person reservations so that constant need of the system is extremely important even though the pay you mentioned is rather low. The second job you mentioned is a lot more pay, and I would have expected this job to be first on the list, the mobile application developer. The other jobs are also good jobs with decent pay that are all rather important. I think you did a great job and recap of your article, well done shayne!
ReplyDeleteThe article you chose is very relevant; considering that we are in MIS clas and we will be searching for jobs in the upcoming years. Although I am not surprised that each job is directly related to the internet, it is only going to become more predominant. Like Kim said, I too am surprised that the “Virtual concierge” is the number one upcoming job, perhaps it is because the actual job itself does not require a great amount of skill, and making the job virtual is simply allowing less educated persons to be capable of operating via the internet. The second job “Mobile application Developer”, I feel will be a job in high demand, as we progress more into the digital and virtual business world, the importance and dependability of apps increases each day. This job will surely have a busy future, devices such as the I Phone and iPad are used almost solemnly for the application compatibility.
