Have you been looking for a great new job to kick off the new year with but you perhaps aren’t sure where to begin? Are you considering retraining or going back to school to specialise in something but you’re just starting to explore your options in terms of what’s available to you? Maybe you’re going to be getting out of school soon and you want to start considering possible career options that are available. Check out these top three awesome career prospects that don’t necessarily require years and years in post-secondary education.
Law
Okay, so being a full-fledged lawyer will need some pretty heavy duty schooling, but what about taking advantage of some of the great law career options available in Sydney such as getting in with Family Lawyers Sydney. There are lots of ways to get involved in the legal trade from being an administrative assistant or paralegal all the way up to being a fully qualified part of a legal team, so what are you waiting for? Don’t forget too that you don’t need to start out going to school to attain a law degree. A lot of law offices can provide on the job training to move up the ranks for older more experienced administrative staff, so you don’t need to make this decision straight out of school. You can always work in a law firm as a receptionist or the like for a few years first!
Lab/Vet/Dental Technician
The type of lab technician we’re talking about here is the kind that works in medical laboratories often taking blood samples from patients who have been referred by their doctor and the like. While it sounds complex a lot of the roles involved in this type of work only require technical training over the course of a year or similar, and so can be a great way to move into a different type of career for someone who can’t take too much time off work to dedicate to retraining.
Dental and Veterinary technicians though may require a bit longer training period due to the more medical nature of their work and the hands on things they will be doing in terms of patient care in a medical setting. Nonetheless, if this is something that interests you, the career benefits of making this kind of move can be enormous and are well worth taking the time out to dedicate to being trained in a rewarding role such as these.
Mining
It’s no secret that Australia is absolutely teeming with mines and the mining industry. Mining companies are vast companies which include a variety of different roles from the miners who physically do the mining itself to office workers who do the paperwork and filing of purchase orders and the like. Many mining companies may provide on the job training to existing employees to move up the ranks to the likes of Business Analysts, Project Managers and the like. With many companies of this nature, it’s possible to make various moves into other sectors or to start from the ground up by achieving a degree in specialist sciences or practices.
So which will you choose? With so many interesting professions out there these days it can be a bit overwhelming, especially to students who are just entering the workforce or university. Take your time and explore what seems to appeal to you. After all, a job is something you will be doing for at least awhile!
