I once read that the dynamic and evolving human changes careers (or jobs) every seven years.

If this is the case for you, or if you are in high school contemplating your future or in college about to go into the work force, you may be interested in career descriptions and the databases that offer career descriptions.

There are a number of great sources to tap, including such sites as Salary.com, a site that includes a job search engine (updated daily), one which can also be found at numerous other current sites, such as metasearch engines Monster.com, Flipdog.com, Yahoo! Hot Jobs, and Jobs-Matrix.com.

At the same time, local jobs can be researched at smaller search engines, like JobStar SF or California Job Bank, for example, for those living in or moving to the California Bay Area, for instance.

Whatever role you hope to fill, you can look through thousands of positions, and study the career descriptions on the EUREKA database, which offers information such as projected openings in a particular field.

In the Interior Design field, for instance, EUREKA projects by 2008 will be able to find a job in one of 12,200 openings.

In order to provide the best of services once you are in a position, you need special skills and specific qualifications: for example, in one job opening description, the most desirable applicant would bring to the position the following:

* Highly refined sense of aesthetics demonstrated in a powerful portfolio;
* Current knowledge of technology and trends;
* Excellent team and client communication skills; and
* The ability to think visually.

You will therefore need to know what training or additional training you will need to be able to provide such skill sets.

Details on exact training you need for exact skills you should bring, can be found at such comprehensive sites as The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics.

There you will also find, besides or within specific and thorough career descriptions, what the salaries are for each level of a particular job, what health, environmental, and safety hazards exist, and projected estimates on job availability and hourly or annual wage considerations in the future of that job.

Also at the Labor Bureau site, you can detailed career descriptions, with information ranging from unemployment trends and statistics, mass layoff statistics, and national trends to business employment dynamics, job openings, and labor turnover survey statistics.

Whatever your reasons for job searching, then, you will be able to approach your new endeavor well informed and equally well prepared.


Glossary:

EUREKA

EUREKA, often abbreviated as "E!", is a pan-european research and development funding and coordination organisation. EUREKA aims to coordinate efforts of governments and commercial companies.

It does not partake in, for example, military research. EUREKA was established with the "Paris Declaration" of July 17, 1985, and its principles are based on the later Hannover Declaration, subscribed by Ministers on November 6, 1985.

Career (or Job) description

Here's the correct answer in eSight's NetWork News Career Word Quiz. Job description is: "A. A list of the responsibilities for a given position at a company."

A career or job description is a document containing a variety of information that defines and characterizes the position. It will most likely contain some information about minimum and required qualifications, but the "meat" is the detailed list of responsibilities, in terms of assigned tasks and levels of expected performance.
