This Week in Jobs: Start Spooky Season with these 27 scary good career opportunities – Technical.ly

Feeling nervous or blue? Seeking something spooky could be the best long-term solution, according to science. 

See, when you watch a scary movie or do something you’re nervous about trying, that sense of excitement (or dread) at the pit of your stomach is norepinephrine. Norepinephrine, more commonly known as adrenaline, can increase excitement and energy levels, pulling you out of that funk.

But you don’t need to put yourself in real danger to feel the benefits of fear. Watching a scary movie or doing something else that makes you nervous can yield the same reward. Anxious about that networking event or going out for a new role? Try it and see how it feels. 

Ready to get started? We’ve got a slate of new roles to thrill you below.
