Report: Salary Prospects Better In Some Fields
Salaries are expected to remain flat or decline in 2010, but prospects for some positions are better than others, according to Robert Half International.
According to Robert Half's 2010 Salary Guides, starting salaries in accounting, IT, finance and administrative fields will not increase next year, but hiring trends within those fields indicate that job seekers may do well to narrow their search on specific positions, including tax accounting and information security.
In accounting and finance, positions that help companies save money and boost profitability, such as tax accountants, compliance directors, credit managers and senior financial analysts are more promising than others.
In technology, positions that have the opportunity to tie IT objectives to larger, corporate goals, such as network administrators, information systems security managers and systems engineers, have a greater chance for advancement and pay increases.
Administrative fields that may be more advantageous to job seekers include medical records clerks, customer service representatives and executive assistants.
Robert Half is an international staffing firm.
