Upskill for in-demand roles: Data, Finance, or Accounting

Published on 10/28/2025 Hiring & Talent Acquisition Insights

A Business Management graduate, 6 years post-graduation, struggles to find professional roles beyond minimum wage data entry/warehouse jobs and aims for $70k-$80k. The primary issue is a lack of specialized, in-demand skills. To secure better opportunities, the individual should focus on acquiring specific skills in fields like Data Analysis (SQL, Tableau, advanced Excel), Finance (financial modeling, specific software), or even pursue an Accounting qualification. Networking and targeting larger companies for entry-level positions with growth potential are also crucial. Resume direction should highlight any transferable skills from past roles and emphasize commitment to learning new technical expertise.
