Since information and access to it play such a key role in our economy some fascinating new jobs are being created to find, present and manage it. The knowledge manager, also known as chief answerists, knowledge navigators or information specialists, is taking on a key role in corporations-- connecting people with information.
If you have strong computer skills, like research and are Internet savvy, this could your field. Lower paid librarians traditionally held these roles. Overwhelmed with information, companies need help to manage and access it and are rewarding people for these skills with higher pay and more visible positions, according to an article in National Business Employment Weekly.
A job for a high tech corporate librarian who analyzes feedback and statistics from the employer's Web site pays $65,000 to $75,000. Not all positions in this field are that technical. Some folks develop market trends, profiles and industry studies or conduct financial research to help a company stay competitive.
They might create an index of web information, dig up information for an executive briefing, or sit in a meeting with a laptop to respond instantly to questions.
The jobs in highest demand and that pay well call for solid computer experience, says the article. If your technical skills aren't up to par, get training. And if your social skills are lagging, hone those as well. These positions require you to work closely with people at all levels in an organization.
