March 12, 2010, Newsletter Issue #21: Preparing For a Career in IT: The Required Skills and Traits

Tip of the Week

Information technology careers are not for everyone, but for those who display certain aptitudes, it’s often the only career path that makes any sense. Most of the skills that later become necessary to go far in IT can often be displayed at an early age. Certainly it’s entirely possible to come to an interest in IT at a later age, but to the majority of people seeking employment in IT careers, the evidence was there all along.

Having a strong background and competency with computers and how they work is an important skill to own, even more so than the enthusiastic curiosity about how computers work. The propensity to solve problems and an interest in math are also important traits that help forge a sturdy foundation for a long career in IT. Contracting your services through professional recruiting agencies is a good way for you to investigate the variety of career options available in IT.
