Like the rest of the country, Georgia has been hit hard by rising unemployment. The rate in May hit a whopping 10.1%. Many people are out of work in Georgia and wondering what to do. One thing to do, besides filing for unemployment benefits, is take a look at the Georgia employment projections. A close study will tell you what careers will be in demand so you can prepare yourself for a brighter future.

The food service industry is the one with the most demand for workers. You don’t need a lot of experience to be a waiter or waitress. All you need is a willingness to greet the public with a smile and provide prompt service. You can become a food server now while you get the education you need to get a different job. If being with the public is not your thing you can always work in the kitchen preparing the food.

According to the Georgia employment projection, educational services industry will continue needing workers. People are needed to teach students from elementary to high school. If you don’t have all the qualifications you need, consider starting out as a teaching assistant. This will also give you a good idea if being a teacher is what you really want to do. A successful teacher will have a passion for helping other people learn.

Administrative and support services are also going to be needing workers. Consider moving stock and freight. Janitors are also needed by various businesses as well as schools to keep them looking tidy. When a person enters a business or school, he makes decisions about how well it can do the job based on what it looks like. A building that looks professional and clean gives a person a feeling of confidence about the place. The main qualifications for a janitor is a willingness to clean areas that might not be pleasant and ability to notice work that needs to be done.

Customer service workers are also in high demand according to the Georgia employment projection. If you are friendly and can point customers to the products and services they need, then look into a job as a customer service representative. You do not need experience, the job primarily requires you to talk to the public with a smile. If you are skilled with computers and can run multiple programs at once, then you can distinguish yourself from the competition.

Executive secretaries and administrative assistants are always going to be needed. Busy managers need someone to organize their schedules, provide travel arrangements, and handle their correspondence. An effective person will help their boss be able to do his job more efficiently by minimizing the distractions. Often, managers are people with a vision for their department or division and forget about the here and now. Let your manager have his vision, but remind him of day to day business that must still be done and you will have his thanks. You will also have a rewarding career that will provide you the financial security you need.
