Get more bargaining power by having more than one employer at a time bid for you. Boo hoo for cybersecurity IT specialists. With every humongous data breach (yep, your private info in the hands of identity thieves), demand for their services skyrockets. Imagine the burden of fielding multiple job offers.

Work as a distributed ledger Developer, Systems Engineer, Product Manager, Miner and more in this emerging field. People hear “Bitcoin” and ache to be billionaires. The tech behind such frothy cryptocurrencies is blockchain. It’s also for new commercial uses spawning jobs aplenty.

Fear the tears! We may work in kinder, gentler times with greater emphasis on personal and emotional balance, but the truth is boohooing at work may hold you back in your career. Unfortunately, it’ll have colleagues and managers questioning your capacity to keep your sh*t together.

Companies in distress may try to hide it. Doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to spot the clues. When working for a nosediving company, would you rather wear a blindfold or x-ray specs? With the blindfolders, going ostrich does the trick. See no evil, hear no evil, blah blah. X-ray peeps look deep into the malaise for signs to scram.

From autonomous delivery vehicles to interactive displays that speak to you personally, shopping is spouting a new generation of job opportunities.

We all thank God when Fridays roll around! By week’s end, we’re pretty well mentally exhausted, worn out, the life sucked right out of us. Work is more than a grind; it’s a mood-buster and a brain drain. Yet mental health is critical to workplace wellness.
