Here is a list of jobs that evolved over the past 25 years and arguably didn't exist—or didn't exist in the same form or to a significant extent, as reported by CNBC.
Social Media Manager
The social media manager might not have its own designation yet, but emergence of Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram has made it an important asset for businesses to driveleads and boost sales over the internet.
The Social Media Manager is an individual who implements the company’s social media marketing and administers content strategy, develop brand awareness, generate inbound traffic and cultivate leads and sales.
