Jobs requiring no particular qualification
Even though jobs that require professional certification, a technical diploma or a university degree are significant in number, employers must also fill a lot of positions that don’t require any specific qualification.
Here are the 5 most in-demand jobs of 2015 that don’t require applicants to have a diploma or degree:
- 1. Sales Representative
- 2. Customer Service Agent
- 3. Accounting Clerk
- 4. Warehouse Clerk
- 5. General Labourer (Production)
Demand for these types of workers is consistently high, year after year. However, many of these positions have a high turnover rate, partly because they often require employees to adapt to variable schedules or work on a part-time basis.
