Entering the field of Information Technology is exciting yet daunting. You might see tech school ads boasting high average salaries for MCSEs. On the flip side, online forums often emphasize the struggles of breaking into IT and the lack of opportunities for newcomers.
The reality lies somewhere in between. While I wholeheartedly love the IT world, I must admit that landing your first job can be difficult. Many tech schools offer job placement services, which can be extremely beneficial.
But what if you don’t have access to such resources? Avoid the common mistake of sending countless resumes and waiting for responses. The truth is, it’s unlikely you’ll get callbacks this way.
Instead, focus on networking. This doesn’t just apply to connecting computers; it’s also about building relationships with people. Explore networking events listed in your local newspaper's business section. Even if you're not in the field yet, attending these events can be invaluable. Taking initiative is always a positive step.
Once you secure that first job, make it count. Punctuality, reliability, and a willingness to learn can set you apart. If you encounter something unfamiliar, use resources like Google or ask knowledgeable colleagues for guidance. Doing so will position you ahead of many peers.
Breaking into IT is as challenging as entering any other industry. However, having held various roles, I can attest that no field rewards personal drive, initiative, and accomplishment quite like Information Technology. The effort you invest in overcoming initial hurdles will make your eventual success all the more rewarding.
