in order to remain a relevant specialist, and it is always better if your

The Labor Market Today. Chapter 1.
Financial managers are responsible for the company’s finan-
cial statements. Their key personal qualities include an analyt-
ical mindset and attentiveness, even meticulousness. Comput-
ers can now perform many calculations, so, in order to succeed 
in this profession, you need to be a truly highly skilled special-
ist. If you are, you will surely be well paid. However, you will 
require not only the ability to analyze but also the ability to get 
along with other people: it is important to present financial 
decisions to the company’s management and shareholders 
properly. Competition among financial managers will only keep 
growing. People who can deal with international finance, know 
how to use complex tools and are well-versed in the securities 
market, have an advantage over others.
Marketing managers are involved in the development and
implementation of marketing strategies. They are also respon-
sible for team building, hiring new employees, budget manage-
ment and selecting the indicators for assessing the success 
of their company’s marketing strategy. There will be high 
demand for people who know how to conduct marketing 
research, analyze data and develop a strategy that will help the 
company maximize its profits.
