Aerospace Jobs Very Popular of Late
In viewing some job trends lately, I’ve noticed that the increase in aerospace jobs has been pretty consistent. A spike early in the year in 2009 gave way to a decline during the spring and summer, but prior to that the growth, according to trend reporting from SimplyHired, was at 16% over January, 2008.
While the aerospace industry is largely one offering high-end positions, there are occasional entry-level employment opportunities as well, mostly on the floor of aerospace manufacturing companies. Generally, however, entry to the field requires either very specific skills, as in the instance of aircraft mechanic jobs, or very specific degrees in aerospace or aeronautical engineering.
Among the most popular career listings in the industry appear to be aerospace quality control positions, aerospace engineer careers and related jobs such as flight test engineer, manufacturing engineer, etc. At a minimum, such positions will require an undergraduate engineering degree, and very likely an advanced degree in the field coupled with several years of experience. Candidates graduating from top technical universities may have the advantage in attaining “just out of college” positions that are of the higher end variety, but that will generally be the exception rather than the rul.
The Locate Jobs Network is currently featuring its aerospace job board (www.locateaerospacejobs.com), which offers cost-effective job posting for employers and recruiters in the aerospace and avionics fields, as well as updated job listings for candidates seeking employment in this field.
