Network and PC support staff are increasingly in demand in this country,
as institutions rely heavily upon their knowledge and capacity to solve problems. The nation's requirement for better qualified personnel is enhanced, as society becomes ever more dependent on computers in these modern times.
Being a part of the cutting-edge of new technology gives you the best job satisfaction ever. You're involved with creating a future for us all. We've only just begun to scrape the surface of how technology will affect our lives in the future. Technology and the web will profoundly alter how we see and interact with the world as a whole over the coming years.
Should lifestyle be up there on your list of priorities, you will appreciate the fact that the regular income for the majority of IT staff is much higher than salaries in much of the rest of industry. With the IT marketplace developing nationally and internationally, it's likely that the need for qualified professionals will continue to boom for a good while yet.
Each programme of learning really needs to work up to a fully recognised major qualification as an end-goal - not some little 'in-house' diploma - fit only for filing away and forgetting. From the viewpoint of an employer, only the big-boys such as Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco or Adobe (for instance) will get you into the interview seat. Nothing else makes the grade.
When did you last consider the security of your job? Typically, this isn't an issue until something goes wrong. But really, the lesson often learned too late is that job security simply doesn't exist anymore, for the vast majority of people. We're able though to discover security at the market sector level, by searching for areas that have high demand, together with work-skill shortages.
Recently, a United Kingdom e-Skills study highlighted that over 26 percent of all available IT positions remain unfilled because of a chronic shortage of trained staff. Basically, we only have the national capacity to fill just three out of each four job positions in the computer industry. Properly taught and commercially certified new employees are accordingly at a resounding premium, and it looks like they will be for many years longer. Undoubtedly, now really is the very best time to join the computing industry.
With all the options available, it's not really surprising that most potential career changers get stuck choosing the job they will follow. Since without any commercial background in Information Technology, how can most of us understand what someone in a particular job does? Arriving at an informed decision only comes through a thorough analysis across many varying criteria:
* The kind of individual you consider yourself to be - the tasks that you really enjoy, and on the other side of the coin - what makes you unhappy.
* Do you hope to achieve an important objective - for instance, being your own boss someday?
* How highly do you rate salary - is it the most important thing, or is enjoying your job higher up on your list of priorities?
* Always think in-depth about the level of commitment involved to get fully certified.
* You have to understand the differences across all the training areas.
To cut through the barrage of jargon, and reveal the most viable option for your success, have a good talk with an industry-experienced advisor; someone who will cover the commercial realities and truth whilst covering all the qualifications.
