Chieu Cao, Co-founder and CMO at Perkbox says:

鈥淔inding the job you love is often a bit of a journey. From my experience most people like their job, tolerate it, but a minority love it. The truth is it can be a process of learning about yourself and the world of work before you find something that is right for you.

I鈥檓 a big believer that if you鈥檙e not good at your job, it鈥檚 because you just haven鈥檛 found the one that鈥檚 right for you. For this reason, the results of this top ten list makes me hopeful, it highlights the diversity of demand in the UK and with that, how we鈥檙e breaking taboos around certain more traditional jobs being better than others鈥.

Olga Andrienko, Head of Global Marketing at SEMrush says:

鈥淪earch can be an excellent indicator of people鈥檚 preferences and interests. Some very common fields of work such as office jobs are not particular sought after by employees. HR departments in those fields might want to take measures to keep them attractive in the future.鈥
