These few months have been a busy stretch for us and many of our clients were mainly from the finance and banking sector! Globally the whole sector is suffering, thus getting employment in the same sector will be an uphill task for some time, if not impossible. So what other sectors look promising, both in Hong Kong and around the world?
According to an article "An Inevitable Trend" on CreativeTaiwan.net, 'Noted futurist Alvin Toffler once predicted that creative and cultural industries would become the dominant sector in the world economy, that whoever takes the high ground of creativity can take the world, as creativity will be the force controlling the 21st century economic lifeline.
These "chimneyless" industries that turn experience into pleasurable memories, and creativity into fortune as well as career opportunities are indeed the hottest and most environment-conscious sector which thrive the knowledge-based economy!
“Creative economy” has been taken as one of the major projects each country works on to strengthen its competitiveness, which indicates that “Cultural & Creative Industries” will become the trend in the future. These “industries without smokestacks”, or “knowledge-based industries”, turn experiences into great memories, and ideas into fortune and job opportunities. '
This is food for thought, especially for those who would be thinking of diversifying their skills to gain an edge in the future employment market. The needs of the world is changing - so must we.
