3. How should someone new to the workforce get a J-O-B like yours? |
|
If someone wanted to go about getting a job similar to yours, what would you recommend for him or her to do?
I would recommend him/her get a degree then start figuring out what they want--do they want to develop in java? c? what interests them. then go and apply--if there is a company--specific company then call them up--the challenge is that you get your foot in the door then you try and work your way up to where you want to be.
|
|
What
skills do you think a person should have if they want to pursue a
position like yours? Please be specific and explain why (e.g., social
skills, organization skills, technical skills)
I believe that I am a natural leader and I feel that this is needed. I also am trained in many different languages--developement languages which is what is needed. I am very organized and sometimes this is a must because I deal with clients...most of all I believe that I am flexible which helps me because sometimes you have to do things that are not in your job description to help the company--i.e. such as going to client site and also getting new business

yes---a degree so that it shows that you can do something from beginning to end--as well as programming languages

I would say--find out what you want to do and if it's development--then stick to it and also don't be timid..always try and be inventive and creative
