Employment oppertunities

Since there is so much technology now available, it has created many jobs for people to help with it. For example, people are needed as computer programmers to enable computers to function correctly and improve them. As well as this, many people are needed to show others how to use the technology.  

People are choosing to start home businesses involving web design and many other aspects in technology including custom making computers. As people can access all of the world from their own home it is incredibly easy to set up their own business, and since they are self employed, they can earn more money.

As well as jobs being created in technology itself, the internet allows people to find easily access information on job vacancies and opportunities, sites like “www.jobsite.co.uk or www.monster.co.uk” these sites allow people to upload their cv’s to the sites and search from thousands of jobs and filter the results depending on: location, salary and type of job. All these features make it very accessible and drastically help people to find work, as well as easily allowing employers to advertise for staff. Years ago the only option to find work was to look through newspapers or visit a local job centre, however being able to search for work online is a lot more accessible and convenient.

Advantages:

• Many more jobs have been created, due to technology needing people to operate it
• Jobs are more accessible as people can easily search for it online
• Work involving technology will pay highly as the skills are in high demand

Disadvantages:

• Different expectations. When you apply for a job now, it will most likely involve working with technology and you are expected to know how to use technology (computers etc), if you do not have this knowledge you will find the job and many others very hard.
