Building Your I.T. Career

Through overview material this book introduces and explains career concepts, anecdotal examples that show how and where those concepts apply, and by provides clear tasks and lists of achievable directives. The result is a clearly understood and well-defined list of objectives for the forward-thinking I.T. careerist.

Broken into sections, each building upon the other, the book will also include online supplemental material in the form of documents, spreadsheets, and videos. The online supplemental material will ensure the greatest degree of accuracy on specific topics and provide a connection with the student, the author, and the topics in question.

In addition to covering career concepts and the standard career information, such as resumes, interviews, cover-letters, on the job advancement, professional networking, writing and speaking skills, moving into management, and how to deal with various bosses and co-workers, the Toolkit will provide advice on how to manage an online presence — social media and personal blogging — and how to use those tools to advance a student's career.
