Tips on career shift in IT

1. Get certified.
Certification is not the only way..There are a lot of ways..But when you are from a field that is miles away from I.T., this might be very beneficial. It will give a spark to your resume, even if you don't have related work. This is one way to demonstrate that you can learn easily no matter what field you are in. I am a Manufacturing Engineer and worked as a Quality Assurance Engineer. I studied Solaris and Windows and eventually got my Microsoft certified professional and Sun Certified System Administrator. Now, I landed a job as Unix Engineer with a high salary.

2. Train, train, train.
You can either take a short course or self study before trying to take those certifications so that you will know what you are going to talk about during interviews. Getting certified without knowing what you have been certified for is a waste of money.

3. Interview Skills.
Once you got certified, now what? Of course you might get a call from a company for an interview. It's up to you to nail it. Practice answering interview questions, search for questions for your field of choice and point out that you can do it no matter what field you are from.

Madali kaya magshift ng career, from BPO to IT?

ComSci grad ako, at gusto ko mai-apply yung napag-aralan ko sa work, may alam din naman ako sa programming, kaso nga pag IT, kailangan daw magaling ka sa trouleshooting at networking, kaso hindi ako masyadong magaling dun. More on software kasi ako. Tapos wala rin akong experience sa IT.

Hindi ko alam, kung qualified kaya akong makapasok sa IT position.

Azeus
Accenture
Safeway Philtech
Pointwest

aside from these companies what else? natry ko na sa accenture and pointwest. safeway wala opening, azeus pending...

[AkiFoblesia]

of the IT companies hiring non-IT grads, it looks like Azeus still has growing demands while many other companies (though not all) lay off employees. it's a good company to look into.

hi!

tanong ko lang kung may mga universities ba na nago-offer ng short-term or crash course sa I.T? kasi gusto ko sana ituloy yung matagal ko nang plano.

[neytey08]

Malawak ang IT.. mula encoder, programmer, web designer, database admin, web developer...Kaya maganda itong kuning course.. Programmer ako nun pero di ko gusto, nag-aral ako phothoshop, web design at developing ayun nagboom na career ko ... Just like others said, train lang ng train... Kung pangarap nio magandang kumpanya like Microsoft then get certified .. Wala nmang mahirap kung lahat pagtyatyagaan at pag-iigihan ng isang tao.

hindi madali mag shift to IT pero totoo na malawak ang IT field. if you are exceptional in logic\math\and problem solving in school you have the pontential as a good developer. mind you, ang dami kong kakilalang comsci grads na di marunong mag program. syntax lang ang alam pero di marunong mag attack ng problem or finish a solution in a timely manner. pero if you're good in algebra for example like let X problems you have better chances.

kung magaling ka naman sa arts mas ok na graphic designer ka or better animator. mataas din rates nito especially the latter. i heard sa abs-cbn ang animator pinakamababa ata is 50K.

don't complain if you will be assigned into an entry level ka. we all went through this. siempre di ipagkatiwala sa iyo ang ultra sensitive IT projects, dapat sa mga experienced lang yun kasi kung mag fail yun tsugi company nyo.

patience and perserverance is the key here.

[rickflag]

meron ding isang IT field na mas madali para sa non comsci grads. yung QA or QA analyst. ang requirement lang dito is you have a good eye for details and patience to make lots of documents. pero in demand din to even abroad.

UP ITTC offers a One-year Certificate Course in IT.

yung tesda may libreng oracle training. pwede mag-avail ng scholarship sa informatics makati o kaya sa winsource.

question lang, kunsakali ba na matapos ko itong oracle training, may guarantee kaya na may mapapasukan ako na IT company o ang tinatanggap lang nila yung may matagal ng experience sa oracle? nagdadalawang isip ako kasi kailangan ko na din ng work dahil madaming bayarin kaya iniisip ko kung itutuloy ko ba yung 20 days training o next time na lang?

[AkiFoblesia]

^^ anong background mo? college degree? work experience?

kung programmer trainee position habol mo, pwede ka na mag apply even without taking an IT course, kasi meron nang mga companies na tumatanggap ng any 4-year course.

im not so sure kung paano ang diskarte ng mga companies sa mga experienced na.

as for taking the oracle course, it can help. just make sure na meron hiring for oracle. maaari ka kasi matanggap pero isalang ka sa java training or iba pa.

my suggestion, if you have good background in math/logic, try applying for a programmer trainee position. pwede rin as qa/tester. read the first post for more info.

yup may college degree po, information system course ko. pero parang kulang kasi naturo nung college e.

kasi more on database yung inaral namin nung college at parang mahirap yung java. hirap kasi ng exams pag apply as programmer trainee. i guess hindi ako pwede talaga dun

thanks po for the reply

Share ko lang.

i worked for 5 years as a QA engineer in a multinational company.

i was 28 then when i decided to quit and start from ground zero again.
i accepted a java programmer position.
after training disappointment kasi nadeploy kami s hindi pang java na trabaho.
after a year tinakasan ko si bond. lumipat ng ibang company.

medyo malapit na s java kasi yung unang mga buwan namin Web Content Management system ang ginagagawa.
buti nitong huli may j2EE na.

ngayun magsasara na company. buti na lang nakapasa ako sa SCJP exam. so sana makatulong sa paghahanap. baka may alam kayung openings dyan. i still have a lot to learn....
