If you’re interested in a job in the digital sector, here are some of the best options in the space:
1. Digital Marketing
- Digital marketing is the buzzword. Every business is trying to crack the code and make digital marketing work for them.
- Terms like ‘affiliate’ and ‘SEO’ may go right over the head of someone with a product to promote, as will all the data analysis that comes with the job.

- There are many ways you can get into online marketing.
- Half the industry is content creation, so if you have talent in filming, editing, photography, writing, etc. Then you can create content for clients who are looking to showcase their products and services.
- The other half is strategizing. How will you approach your target audience? Who is controlling communication and social media? What methods will you use? What methods can you see are working?
- Every business will be looking for this role in some capacity, so shop around.
2. App Development
- App development is a career that will appeal to software developers one way or another.
- Maybe you have an idea, a problem that needs solving, and you know how to solve it through a phone or laptop, or maybe you’re just interested in a certain genre and are looking to compete.
- Whether you’re looking to innovate with a new app or compete with an existing one, there is loads to do.
- Creating, testing and programming apps for devices will see you and a team work together to swap and implement ideas and concepts for the public to use.

- Smart tech is currently being used to aid everything, so find a problem and solve it.
