Jobs Employment, Career Job, Employment Job
In addition to passing along my Information Technology experience, in this article series I will also attempt to help you choose an IT career path and plan how best to pursue that path by providing input from subject-matter experts about specific IT-related topics.
While my previous articles have provided overviews of what to expect in an IT career job, this column features an analysis of the IT labor market by Mark Aylward, a 23-year veteran of Information Technology recruiting who has placed every type and level of IT practitioner and consultant in small, large, national and international companies. Mark has a positive outlook on Information Technology careers and a great deal of experience working with both employers and employees from the field. I hope that his input will build your confidence in pursuing a Career in Information Technology.
Mark?s thoughts come from a recruiting perspective and support what I have previously explained from an IT manager?s perspective. His points concern continuing education, ancillary people and business skills, and they show that Information Technology can be an exciting and viable career job.

In addition, we have made it more difficult for companies in the United States to utilize the talents of those candidates educated outside of the U.S.
