~~~Ahh yes and we're back!! ( Applause!! XD ) for this week I took a look into jobs jobs and more jobs ( i'm 18 what do i care...XD ) well so far the IT industry has been deeeeemanding as i was sifting through all those job posts ( and a lot of call center trash heaps ^___^'' ) I found some pretty demanding and hard hitting facts about what the heck it is to be an IT professional ( pretend you care XD ) anyway heres what I came up with.......


( Thanks god for java I'm guessing its cuz its a very dynamic language )

Team work is always an asset. ( except in examinations XD )
Discoveries:

1. The market wants experienced IT graduates ( most ads required 2-3 years of experience )
2. Language skills are very important ( being multi-lingual helps a lot )
3. Residency is also a constant ( I have to say this one really bites especially for international base companies )
4. IT share research and development work loads ( ok pawis at dugo pipol XD)
5. IT professionals should be highly computer literate and capable of working with all aspects ( MEANING NO ROBOTS buzz buzz** bzzt* )
6. It's best to have communication skills ( no duh XD )
7. Leadership skills and motivational aspects are also a big preference ( geee i wonder why....XD )
   

Concerns:

1. Is it really this demanding for a fresh-graduate?
2. Will all these skills be covered on the program?
3. How does this help me to understand what the work of an IT professional is?
