IT Jobs: How to get an IT Job
http://www.x-tremegeek.com
It is a well known fact nowadays that IT jobs are both plentiful and lucrative, for those qualified.

My name is Donald Carroll.  I have held many
IT jobs, but today I am the President and Webmaster of Green Planet
Fantasy Theater.  How did I get here?  I have over ten years of experience working at many different
IT jobs.  I also have
five years of teaching experience - teaching and helping students get themselves into good
IT jobs working with both
Microsoft and Cisco Technologies (as well as other networking technologies such as Novell Netware, Unix, and Linux.)  
Having held numerous
IT jobs myself, I am twice certified by Microsoft as a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer
(MCSE), and twice certified by Cisco Systems as a Cisco Certified Network Associate, or CCNA?

My own
IT jobs have been very good to me.  Information Technology is an excellent trade to get into for those of you
looking for
IT jobs.  As a former instructor, I can tell you that in order to get the really good IT jobs, one prerequisite is
that you must be at least comfortable with using computers.  For good
IT jobs, it is even better if you have a sort of
"knack" for fixing computers when they break!  Those of you who are already familiar with using, repairing, and even
building computers are perfectly cut out for some of the more lucrative
IT jobs out there.

The purpose of this article, besides aiming you towards the better
IT jobs out there, is to help you along the path towards
earning your industry standard certifications in the field of Information Technology  - required for many good
IT jobs.  I
will tell you on the next page exactly what to do if you are interested in getting one of the better
IT jobs out there, and
entering into the field of Information Technology, even if you have no experience whatsoever - even if you have never
held an
IT job.  In the field of Information Technology, and for the better IT jobs, it is often not enough to just earn your
certifications as employers of good
IT jobs often favor IT professionals with actual work experience.

I will also share with you more about my own background experience in different
IT jobs, and how they helped me to
succeed in the field of Information Technology.

In the early 1990's IT jobs were more rare!  Knowing then nothing of IT jobs, I was working as an administrative
assistant. As part of my duties, I learned how to use different computer programs; common business applications found
in
IT jobs such as word editors, spreadsheet programs, and databases.  Before learning more about IT jobs, and while I
was at the same time desiring one, I sent away for a PC (Personal Computer) home study course, mostly because it came
with a PC!  I learned about computer hardware and computer software, including operating systems such as Microsoft
DOS and Windows version 3.1.  (In getting
IT jobs, learning about computer hardware and computer software,
including operating systems, is the first step in training for
IT jobs.)

I also then used a modem for the first time to connect to the Internet; at that time, the only real Internet choices there were
was "GopherNet" and the America Online Network (or AOL.)  Besides then connecting to a rather bleak Internet, in
comparison with today's Internet, you could connect to what were called "BBS's", or electronic bulletin boards.  These
"sites" allowed you to chat, play games, and both upload and download content.  There were no "
IT jobs" as we know
them -  at least, they were not referred to as "
IT jobs".

In 1997 I relocated to the Silicon Valley (San Jose, California), often considered to be the birth place of modern
IT jobs.  I
began applying around for administrative assistant positions.  One recruiter pointed out to me that I "had a list of
computer skills a mile long", and wanted to recruit me for an
IT job.  Having already learned a number of different
business applications, applicable to some
IT jobs, and having also completed a two year "IT jobs related" home study
course as a PC Specialist, I was offered a high paying short term
IT job to provide computer support for employees at
NEC Computers.  It was the first of many
IT jobs for me; I was basically an apprentice to what I would call a "guru" in
terms of computers and computer networking skills.

In pursuit of some of the better
IT jobs I entered college again to earn an Associate of Science/Information Systems
Degree.  After my
IT job at NEC Computers ended I applied for another IT job with Honeywell Automated and
Industrial Controls, and I accepted an
IT job as a computer hardware technician.  I was now pursuing a second degree in
Information Technology, and working at different
IT jobs, developing IT job skills critical to becoming a real IT expert,
and securing even better
IT jobs.  (At that time, IT jobs like mine were considered to be in the field of Management
Information Systems (MIS).  Later, in
IT jobs like mine, you were considered to be an Information Specialist (IS), and,
today it is all well known as Information Technology (IT)).

As far as
IT jobs go, that was the beginning for me.  I soon continued on to other IT jobs and into teaching computer
networking technologies.  I accepted other
IT jobs, and eventually I accepted senior network engineering positions.  I
WAS BY THEN EARNING WAGES and BENEFITS PACKAGES I HAD NEVER DREAMED OF!!!  I essentially
climbed the ladder from working in
IT jobs as a computer hardware technician to working IT jobs as an instructor, a
network engineer, a senior network engineer, and finally as a consultant!  Today I have taken leave of
IT jobs to write
articles such as this one, and to function as webmaster for this web site, Green Planet Fantasy Theater.

If you would like to get good IT jobs and enter into the field of Information Technology PLEASE CONTINUE READING

of them into IT jobs.  I can teach you how to learn computer hardware and software, and computer networking.  I will tell
you what course books to study and how and what certification tests to prepare for.  WE ALSO HAVE ALL OF THE
