Certainly a degree will help you on your way to obtaining a career in Information Technology, but there are additional ways to pump up your resume that will certifiably get you the position that you have been dreaming of. “If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you’d have invented Facebook.”
Your boss does not care if you got your Microsoft certification in Kuwait, taught yourself code or if you graduated MIT, just as long as you can do the job and have the experience to prove it. These may skills include being fluent coding languages like HTML 5, PHP, jQuery, Java or SQL. Your boss may also like you to be familiar with mobile development, cloud computing, information security, and social media.
Know your languages. Your coding language skills will all depend on the niche you wish to fill within the IT industry. If you are more interested in coding for the web then HMTL5, CSS, PHP and Javascript are some languages you will need to be fluent in. If you are more interested in computer programming and database management, then languages like C++ and SQL will be on your need to know list.
Once you’ve decided on the best Microsoft certification for you, what is the best way to prepare for the exam?
First, you need to get the right material. Microsoft offers its own self-paced training kit. There is truly no better option currently on the market when it comes to preparing for a Microsoft certification exam. The extensive kit includes a book, electronic copy of the book, source code, practice questions, and a CD. Microsoft provides, within these materials, the most current information available in practicing for the exams. The material is constantly being updated.
Purchasing this material at perhaps a discounted rate because it is a year or more old would do you a disservice for this reason.
A lot of getting a good IT job goes along the same lines as getting any job at all. People want to hire the people that they like. Going into an interview, have answers prepared for any potential question, and specifically think of stories that you can apply to the position you are applying for.
But almost above all else you will need to be familiar, with social media. If you do not know how to post a status on Facebook, create a blog, pin a post on Pinterest, retweet a tweet or upload picture with Instagram, you may need to reconsider your career path.
Social media is a pervasive and effective tool to garner customers, and if you know how to use social media to make money for you company you will likely remain a valuable staff member.
