Survey reveals best entry jobs

Monster.com, a job search website with offices in Maynard, said today that financial services, sales and marketing, and architecture and engineering offer the most likely opportunities for entry-level job seekers.

The firm said its MonsterTRAK survey monitored online job demand for several industries, and those fields accounted for many job postings for entry-level workers on MonsterTRAK, the section of Monster.com devoted to recent graduates looking to start their careers.

"Employers' demand for workers in the white-collar industries has been consistently growing and will presumably continue to do so," Mark Charnock, vice president and general manager for MonsterTRAK, said in a statement.

Monster is the flagship brand of Monster Worldwide Inc. of New York.

Over the last year or so, Monster has forged relationships with several media companies and newspaper publishers, including The New York Times Co., owner of The Boston Globe.
