A-Grade Students turn to Online Gambling Industry for Jobs

Despite a record number of A-Level students scoring the high grades results and pass rates reaching a 27 Year high, for many A-Level and University students graduating this year the career options do not match the potential the bright sparks can bring to the workforce.
However in the online gambling industry there is a real talent shortage with hundreds of jobs left empty every month.
The types of careers available in the online gambling industry are vast:
With the operators such as PKR, Full Tilt Poker and Betfair there are often Affiliate manager/executive roles as well as online marketing, event marketing, player retention and customer support roles.
There are also lots of opportunities to experience the new media side of the industry, so if you are a whizz on social networks, know about SEO or write regularly on blog, article sites there is a real and well paid future for you in online gambling.
Look to the larger affiliate portal sites and Rakeback is one of the most profitable in this sector. Sites such as RakeTheRake and Rakeback.co.uk utilise the resources of designers, marketing gurus, customer support, SEO, Social Media experts and developers.
In recent years online poker has become more popular with students and whilst some end up playing at a professional level and reap massive rewards from rakeback deals, the potential for longer term success comes from writing a blog, tweets or developing a Facebook network about your favourite poker room.
If you are particularly web savvy and have SEO and web design skills why not set up your own rakeback site on the Rakeback Partners Network, if not you can still earn 4% referral income from rakeback.co.uk without playing a single hand of poker yourself!

Anyone who watches Dragon’s Den regularly will know that Online Poker, Bingo and Casino sites are big business, notably Gaming Alerts was one of the successful candidates to get a Dragons Backing.
So next time you find you have spent an hour playing Farmville or Mafia Wars on Facebook between writing essays, think if you could have utilised your time to not only earn some extra cash but also set your future career one step ahead of the rest of those A –Grade students.
