www.modis.com The best technology jobs are never jobs that get posted publicly. You might hear about them through a friend or someone you meet at a networking event, but you aren’t likely to find them posted on a job board. So how do you build a career in IT when the best stuff is hiding in plain sight? You need to have a passion for technology. There are many paths to a career in IT, including formal education and personal training programs, but no matter how skilled you are, the best jobs are found through relationships. But should you specialize or go for that more well-rounded approach? Can you learn once and expect to carry yourself through to retirement? How does your personal brand impact your ability to have a career in IT? Can what you say on YouTube today impact your ability to get a job in IT tomorrow? Bobby Knight, SVP at Modis, provides perspective on how to build a great career in IT.

Yeah those are good. I’m not good with the web stuff. Mostly involved in the IT Technical Support field. So AutoIt, PowerShell, those types of scripting languages for manipulating computers and automating tasks. All learn free pretty much.
You can also go onto Experts-Exchange and other niche forums where people will essentially write you a script to do what you want. Then you can modify for your environment/needs accordingly.

Thanks for the advice
Most of what I have learned are stuff that I have picked up on my way. Such as Chris’s videos, other tutorials, news, w3schools for html/php/css and so on.

LOL IT employment rate so low. True but us techies realy got hurt during GFC and many of us were the first to be cut in non Tech industries. Good riddens to those industries. But now many non tech industries like health, media and legal are now realy embracing technology. This is where the demand is coming from.

@xXZarlachXx LOL, when i was in school it was even worse. I was always a geek, so i yerned for more. For school kids look for workshops and short cources outside of school. Usualy these are done by community coleges and now big companies.

@xXZarlachXx
Classes are ok but you can get yourself some Videos and e-books of torrent to learn all you want.
Check out Quizlet and braindumps for certification studying material.

I agree with him, the fun in an IT career is you never stop learning so if you don’t enjoy IT you defenity shouldn’t make a career out of it. Great interview.

First of all, dont take an arrow in the knee.

You’re lucky he didn’t throw that chair at you.
nightpwner says:
I still disagree with employers using social media to analyze prospective employees. If you want to know what someone is like, set up an interview like normal people use to do. Someones work ethics can be completely different from their private life. That’s why I don’t have any social media accounts. Work and social life should be separate.
