Job trends for the future emphasize careers in sales and marketing. Most of the growth will come in
international sales, high technology, and electronic marketing. Research shows that overseas sales of high
tech equipment and technology will increase by 20% in the next decade.

The Internet is the primary source for advertising and marketing to these overseas customers. At the same
time, however, successful marketers must find new avenues to increase consumer awareness of their
products. As some clients become inundated by information on the Internet, and as others are still just
learning to navigate the Web, the marketers of the future will have to be inventive.

their remarks brief. And don’t forget: What happens after a meeting is more important than what happens
