How to find a satisfying job out of college February 20, 2012
Ian Welham found a website that helps college students in their pursuit of a career
I found a new website that college students and their parents will find useful.
CareerBliss.com is an online community designed to help people find career happiness. The site offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse at thousands of companies, including salary ranges and job reviews written by former employees. Gives you the kind of insider information you don’t normally get during a job interview.
CareerBliss looked into what companies are hiring and what fields are happiest for college grads, and came up with the “Top 20 Hot Jobs for the Class of 2011.” Leading sectors include healthcare, finance, technology and sales. Here are the top six jobs:
| Rank | Job Title | Average Salary | Bliss Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Software Engineer | $71,916 | 7.86 |
| 2 | Sales Representative | $47,629 | 7.78 |
| 3 | Business Analyst | $72,773 | 7.85 |
| 4 | Sales Manager | $68,676 | 7.66 |
| 5 | Product Manager | $72,717 | 7.40 |
| 6 | Financial Analyst | $61,517 | 8.06 |
What this means is that software engineers have the highest number of open jobs, but Financial Analysts jobs yield higher happiness scores. All jobs listed are relevant to college grads with zero to three years’ experience.
