  • IT careers prevalent among “The Best Jobs In America”

    This infographic from Focus claims that IT-related positions compose three of the top 10 “Best Jobs in America.”  Systems engineers, IT project managers, and security consultants are ranked at number one, number five, and number eight, respectively. The graphic also indicates that 7 of the top 35 jobs are in the IT sector. Interestingly, there are only 13,000 security consultants, far fewer than the 200,000 IT business analysts, or the nearly 800,000 software developers.

    Health care jobs also have a strong representation in the list. It’s a good time to be a security consultant working extensively in the health care sector. I’m excited that I regularly play the role of system engineer, project manager, and security consultant, often all in a single day.

    The data was gathered from cnnmoney.com, payscal.com, and the U.S. Bureau of Labor.

  • Pursuit of Happiness

    Boulder, CO

    In a recent study conducted by The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, Boulder received top honors as the overall happiest, healthiest, and most optimistic city in the United States. The study surveyed more than 350,000 Americans across the country and assessed their lives based on a variety of pre-defined categories. While Boulder did not sweep every category looked at by the researchers, it did get the highest rank in the “Work Experience” arena. At Applied Trust we have always known this was true, but it is nice to get some nationwide visibility for it.

    We care about having a good work and life balance for everyone that works here. That’s why the ATE Employee Canon is so important to us. Having this realization and making conscious, proactive maneuvers to maintain it is a key component to fostering a positive “work experience” like the one discussed in the survey. The section measured job satisfaction, ability to use one’s strengths at work, trust and openness in the workplace, and whether one’s supervisor treats him or her more like a boss or partner. These metrics align very closely to how we view work and how we want to spend our time there.
