How Do I Get a Job in IT?

IT Support is one of the most common starting points for many careers; mine included, but is also an excellent area to build your IT career. A Director running a large customer support Service Desk environment can earn six figure sums. I started in Front Line Support and learned valuable lessons that have helped me formulate my own opinions of how a good Service Desk should operate. When I am recruiting for a junior service desk analyst or front line support technician (you will find many different job titles, but essential the role remains consistent i.e. providing front line IT support for a customer base) I am looking for someone enthusiastic, willing to learn, has an aptitude for learning which will demonstrated with good school grades and of course someone with an interest or obvious aptitude for IT. Finally, I am looking for someone that has an aptitude for working with people. Remember, the interaction with customers is going to be the large proportion of your working day.

For more senior roles I am looking for someone that can communicate. Communication remains the one fundamental area of IT that I believe we in IT do badly. Good communication is the cornerstone of any of my strategic IT decisions. The next big ticket item for me is that the candidate must have a working knowledge and qualification in ITIL v2 or v3. The third area is leadership. Senior Service Desk roles will involve managing both junior low experienced and more senior technical employees. A good leader should be able to nurture and develop junior members and at the same time challenge and appreciate more senior members of the team.

Salary expectations

Junior roles – £15,000 to £25,000 depending on the organisation. Although I appreciate money is a huge factor in the decision making process. Also consider the chances of development within the role. Remember this role is likely to shape your next role as well. You are going to have to weigh-up the benefits of a wider remit with more freedom to expand in small companies, but will have more opportunities for IT training and personal development initiatives with larger companies.

Mid-level or Technical roles – £20,000 to £40,000

It is difficult to be exact for such experience because the level of your technical expertise will help dictate your salary. If you have experience of Citrix then you will command a larger salary in a company where Citrix skills are sought after. This is time where you need to consider which direction you want to take on the career ladder.

Do I stay in the Service Desk function? Do I have an aptitude for customer service and support? As I have mentioned if you are good then you can look for salaries from £50k upwards. If you are very good then £100k upwards is a possibility.

Do I move into a more technical role? I have a colleague who is technical guru. I have known him for nearly 15 years and started with me on an apprenticeship when he was 17. His knowledge of the very broad depth and breadth of IT, from datacentres to networking, is astonishing. He commands a salary well in excess of £50k and his potential is boundless. His future roles could be in IT Architecture, IT R&D or he could go freelance and work in a consultancy capacity. Again commanding a salary in excess of £100k. My point is that you do not need to be

Do I develop my skills in other IT areas? What areas am I good at and enjoy? This then becomes our tangent into exploring other areas of IT functions. Do you have a passion and talent for Development, Project Management, Networks, Operations (like DataCentres), or Business Systems (SAP, Oracle). I will be exploring these areas in more detail in the coming months. The potential in all of these roles is exciting. All could command over £50k with the right skills and experience.

Finally, Do I have an aptitude for management? I quickly realised during my time in Banking and then in a small start-up that IT management was my passion and my talent. I love the variety, the challenge of managing people, the reward of delivering a project and developing IT strategy. Salaries here range from £40k upwards depending on the size of the company and the remit. Once again good IT Leaders can early well in excess of £100k so the potential here is enormous. I will cover IT Management in future posts.

Top 5 Tips for my first or next move in the Service Desk function

1.Get ITIL Qualified

I think you knew this would be my number 1. Get ITIL qualified. If you can get ITIL v3 foundation on your CV your chances of getting your first or next role in the Service Desk function will be greatly increased.

2. Start Reading

I can recommend the following books to improve your understanding of the support environment and to help you stay current. If you are responsible for Windows 8 Support get a book on managing Windows 8 environments. Likewise with Exchange, SharePoint, iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Server, Ubuntu, Citrix…

3. Get experience

As I mentioned above if you feel your CV is lacking experience then go out and offer your services (maybe free of charge) to a charity. Ask friends and families

if they know of anyone trying to hire IT support people. The point here is don’t just bemoan your situation, do something to rectify it.

4. Are there any Apprenticeships schemes available in your area?

Having met and worked with someone that has used this route very successfully I would recommend getting on an apprenticeship programme.

5. Practise at Home

This is exactly how I started my passion for IT. I remember buying a cheap desktop machine running Windows 95. I took the whole box apart to see what was underneath the cover. What a hard drive looked like, where the memory was housed, fans, processor etc. Then messed around with Windows 95, learning how it worked and how to fix problems as they occurred. I cannot remember how many times I reinstalled Windows 95… a terrific way to learn about the systems you will be support in the business environment.

Sales Manager at Oracle Global

How to Write an IT (Technical) CV

The advances in technology and innovation have made vocations in the field of the physical sciences a strong sell in the marketplace. A typical recruiter looks out for a set of skills that are well presented when looking through an IT (technical) CV.

The best determinant of a well written technical CV hinges on the proportional classification of acquired IT skills and the overall readability by the recruiter. This is crucial as many recruiters will at best be Human Resource Experts who might have no technical training. In selecting a viable candidate for the job, a set of ready keywords will form the template for such positions. Following this, it will be wise to eliminate avoidable jargon that the recruiter might not easily grasp.

Permissible jargon will include actual names of courses and professional certifications received like the C++, CCNA, COBIT, SAP, CISA, CISSP, ORACLE, and MCSE etc. Jargon that describes processes rather than organic functions should be avoided. Simpler description can be employed for technical terminologies, and focus should be on recognizable terms as much as possible. However, other application specific terminologies should be used to convey the relevant details as intended. A sense of balance is also necessary to project areas of competence.

Each set of skills should always be matched with time of usage. This will avail the recruiter of how up to date such credentials are for the candidates. It does not help to detail any skill set that is not used for a period more than six months at any point. All skills set should be updated before applying for the job. It is better not to list any credential that is not up to date in view of the dynamism of innovation and rate of obsolescence for old methodologies.

The presentation of an IT (technical) CV should be akin to a normal CV format in the sense that headings should be clear, and fitted to at most two pages of paper preferably A4. A mix of black and white color per page is preferable. Unnecessary coloration should be avoided. To list courses or training completed uses billets and avoid tasty graphic designs and fonts that will distract the recruiter. Remember that the aesthetics will have little to do with the final selection and outcome so put your energies into better presentation.

Technical positions presuppose that the recruiter will look out for mechanical skills, but interactive skills will play a crucial part. This might be legit if the position includes client interface. Recruiters will not just consider for your technical suitability but also indications of your suitability for non routine and repetitive functions. The proclivity of modern management to switch between task and project functions necessitates a well rounded skill set. The focus of the employer will not just be the candidate’s ability to deliver on technical specifications, but also the ability to coordinate the men and materials.

Introductory paragraphs must be well utilized to capture the reader’s zeal and motivate them to read through the other details on the CV. The profile of the candidate should be captured in the first paragraph which should present to the employer the IT (technical) skills that are in demand by the recruiter. A Tailor fit pattern should be adopted to align with the requirements specified for the job.

The next paragraph should incorporate the relevant details of the experience, skills and executed projects that should interest the recruiter. Personal achievements should be highlighted to reflect areas of cost savings for your last employer. For example, insistence on alternative technologies or methodologies that eventually produced efficient and admissible results. Results that cannot be proven or inaccurate should be avoided so as not to provide grounds for questionable credibility. There is a tendency to embellish CVs by most candidates but that does not make it acceptable.

A short history of your work experience should be described to project the intending role that will benefit the employer. Your responsibilities and job description should be provided to provide an insight to your suitability for the position. The requirements of the position applied for should be kept in focus to align with the experience you have acquired and how vital it was to your previous roles. The employer will need to be persuaded that you are able to add value to the corporate worth. It is vital to link your experience to the available position for a measure of best fit.

It is essential to put professional and technical courses under different sections with the most relevant skills set coming first. Your professional training will include membership processes completed for the professional bodies that superintend your field of endeavor. Update courses and training programs attended should be included. Technical courses will include on the job training received or acquired through exchange programs. This can be inter or intra-company or industry driven. Professional courses completed show that candidates will be held accountable to the tenets of such practice while training courses indicate a standard of fieldwork.

Description of education should be brief and any wordiness avoided in order to having the full attention of the recruiter. Dates, names and place of schooling should be provided alongside degrees and certificates awarded. The year of award of such degrees will prove to be of advantage along with outstanding awards received for such courses. Special awards are of value as they point out to the employer that you are exceptional and clearly a top runner for the position.

Lastly, make sure there is a cover letter providing details on how you knew about the job and why you are a superb fit for the position. A compelling cover letter is additional mileage for your CV to be considered. Your cover letter should be sent to the employer as a formal letter with the CV as an attachment. When submitted by email, make sure to try out the attachment to confirm that it correctly installed. A faulty link will rubbish all the worthwhile preparations and reduce your chance of getting employed.
