Carlsbad, CA (February 7, 2012) – One of the best places to meet a mate is the place where you spend most of your waking hours – at work, says a new report on CareerCast.com http://www.careercast.com. ****

“You’re usually at your best and ready to make a good impression on the job,” says Tony Lee, publisher, CareerCast.com. “However, some jobs are better than others for those on the lookout for a mate.”****

To boost your changes of finding love, it helps to have a job where you interact with lots of people. CareerCast.com has identified 7 jobs with good potential to meet your future spouse:****

*Hotel Guest Service Agent:* There’s nothing like good hospitality to lead you to your soul mate. While working in a hotel, you’ll be exposed to many single professionals who may be there for business. It’s your job to make their stay a good one, and they’ll certainly take notice of you.****

*Bartender: *Bartending will put your listening skills to the test and surround you with plenty of single people trying to get your attention. Bartending is a great opportunity to meet your potential mate. You can easily learn the basics about each other over a cold one. And they may even return the favor for your great service by offering to buy you dinner. ****

*Flight Attendant: *As a flight attendant, your potential mate could be traveling for a business trip or a quick getaway. You will get the chance to have at least a couple of hours to make an impression as you work the aisles. ****

* *

*Fitness Instructor/Personal Trainer:* Being sociable here is actually a job requirement, and this imperative takes away the need for an icebreaker. Conducting training sessions or group exercise classes can be a good way to get to know your potential mate without the formality of an actual date. *** *

* *

*Retail Sales Specialist:* You will never be short of opportunities to flash that winning smile as you say, “Can I help you?” or “Did you find everything you needed?” Nothing takes the edge off of an introduction than being required to talk to people who walk into the store.****

* *

*Pharmaceutical Representative:* Where else can you have the opportunity to talk with lots of medical professionals and speak their language? Though some days it can be tough to find time to fit into a doctor’s schedule, you can bring lunch to doctors’ offices, and talk to the staff over tacos. ****

*Dance Instructor:* Reality shows have made dance classes all the rage, and teaching one will allow you to dust-off your inner tango skills. It’s also a great place to check out each other’s moves and to innocently gaze into each other’s eyes. You can expect to see the same people week after week too, giving romance a chance to bloom.****

If love does strike at work, make sure you act professionally if your feelings are not reciprocated (i.e., don’t stalk the person, which can lead to your dismissal). And if love doesn’t strike at work, you can still find a job you love.
