IT
market in the world has its own specific rules. Computing
profession is generally perceived as a very promising direction in our
careers, because IT systems are
beginning to play an increasingly important and sometimes decisive role in our daily lives. There
appear to be many “born" specialists on the market, who want to become
players in this game with an
incredible commitment. They learn all the ins and
outs of systems and sooner or later
they become qualified professionals. Others
are trying to follow and try to educate themselves
in this very fashionable and popular profession. Still some people only in
the course of their actual career
become aware of it and fascinated
by a computer science to decide to change their careers.
Universities
and colleges outdo each other, effectively trying to prepare
computer specialists to carry out
this despite appearances hard and responsible work. However, the studies allow
only prepare for the future
profession, because the rest
we have to do on our own. Every day new technology
is being created and we need to
learn to keep abreast of all the
news.
Unfortunately, not all of us are able to do it on our own. Despite having access to such a great store of knowledge on
the internet, we are not able to process such a large amount of information in a fairly significantly limited time. The IT market time counts, actually its evident lack matters
the most. Just imagine how much
time you need to spend on reading only one
specialized book, which on average
contains about 500 pages. The reading of the whole book itself does not give us any guarantee of processing the knowledge contained in it, so spending
more time actually increases the assimilation
of knowledge even more. Even the art of speed
reading here is of no use, because in many cases the small details count and not general knowledge.
Therefore, it seems the only way to assimilate in a
shorter time a larger amount of
knowledge is to participate in
all kinds of presentations, seminars, workshops or other
specialized training. This allows
us to get a little better knowledge on the topic and provides direction for
further development by focusing only
on the selected issue that
we will need.
The opportunities to participate in
such meetings are quite many,
ranging from free online training to the very
specialized, (paid) technical trainings.
Fortunately, we do
not always have to invest in our own development. If we are lucky and our
employer takes care of our career,
surely he will fund some of these specialized training, or
at least the most expensive ones.
Some of us are really lucky and really
take part in a wide range of trainings …and so in many
cases it appears to be very profitable.
