Is there a high demand for jobs as an IT specialist? |
By high demand, I mean good paying jobs. Depends on which country you're in.Here in Ireland It is always in demand and well paid. The HR people have not been doing a good job of communicating what skills they need. This means that there are many thousands of qualified IT people who cannot find work, and many thousands of jobs they could do that go unfilled, because the job openings are failing to communicate precisely what skills and background is best to do the job. I was at a computer class once, to improve my skills in a particular combination of relational data base tools, and we students were talking, in a break, about the job market ... which types of jobs dininishing, companies converting to different ways of doing things, what jobs in big demand. One of the students talked about how his employer had failed to find Americans able to do the work, so they were hiring people in Germany, teaching them English, bringing them to the States. I asked how come they did not go to India or some cheaper nation since they already know English, and work with the same kinds of technology. Others pointed to discussion groups that have tens of thousands of people in America using the same technology. If your company is going to train people and bring them here, why not hire one of the thousands of qualified people who are already here? The answer is that the HR department, and their managers, are wearing multiple layers of blinders, that make them particularly unqualified to be finding people for technology jobs. The question you should be asking is how to find the high paying jobs that those HR people are flunking the job of communicating to potential new employees who are really qualified to do the job. I don't know that I can answer that ... you need to figure out how to research the jobs, then manage your interviews ... one such resource might include http://www.interviewrx.com/index... |
