7 fast-growing jobs that are desperate to hire

Plenty of the jobs on Indeed's list of the top ones "waiting for you to apply" don't require a bachelor's degree.

• Job-search platform Indeed published a list of fast-growing jobs without many people applying.
• Based on how Indeed ranked the list, five of the top seven don't typically require a degree.
• Indeed's Gabrielle Davis said the list shows "new avenues for job seekers to consider."

Not all job postings get a lot of attention. Roles that are being overlooked by job seekers could be a new opportunity if they find one that fits their interests.

Job-search platform Indeed published a list of top jobs that are "waiting for you to apply" based on a year's worth of US job postings, starting with ones in March 2023. The list includes jobs that had seen a large growth in their share of postings across the site that also had very small numbers of job seekers checking those postings out.

"The criteria included the largest percentage increase in job postings per million, as well as the lowest click share," Indeed said.

Gabrielle Davis, a career trends expert at Indeed, told Business Insider that this list highlights some potential "new avenues for job seekers to consider if they're feeling stuck in their job search."

Davis said that despite a positive-looking labor market, job seekers may find it tough to land work. Amid a modestly slowing job market, Davis suggested job seekers focus on things they can control, such as having their résumé and online profiles in order.

"It can seem like a full-time job in and of itself," Davis said, emphasizing the importance of consistency and working toward goals in the job search process, like dedicating an hour to update your résumé and another to apply to roles.
