Today, industry would struggle without assistance from support workers mending PC’s and networks, while advising users on a regular basis each week. The desire for those people is constantly growing, as commercial enterprise becomes progressively more technologically advanced.
It can be a nerve-racking task, but finding your first job can be made easier by some companies, via a Job Placement Assistance programme. The need for this feature can be bigged up out of proportion though – it’s easy for their marketing department to make too much of it. Ultimately, the huge shortage of staff in the United Kingdom is what will make you attractive to employers.
You would ideally have CV and Interview advice and support though; also we would encourage everyone to update their CV the day they start training – don’t put it off until you’ve graduated or passed any exams.
Quite often, you’ll secure your initial job while you’re still a student (occasionally right at the beginning). If you haven’t updated your CV to say what you’re studying (and it hasn’t been posted on jobsites) then you don’t stand a chance!
If it’s important to you to find work near your home, then you may well find that an independent and specialised local employment service may be more appropriate than the trainer’s recruitment division, for they’re going to have insider knowledge of local employment needs.
Certainly make sure you don’t conscientiously work through your course materials, and then just stop and leave it up to everyone else to land you a job. Stand up for yourself and start looking for yourself. Channel the same time and energy into landing a good job as you did to gain the skills.
It’s usual for students to get confused with a single courseware aspect which is often not even considered: The way the training is divided into chunks and delivered to your home.
Trainees may consider it sensible (with most training taking 1-3 years to gain full certified status,) for a training company to release the courseware in stages, as you pass each element. Although:
What if for some reason you don’t get to the end of every single section? And what if you find the order of the modules counter-intuitive? Through no fault of your own, you may not meet the required timescales and not get all the study materials as a result.
To avoid any potential future issues, most students now choose to have all their training materials (which they’ve now paid for) couriered out in one package, all at the beginning. You can then decide in which order and at what speed you’d like to take your exams.
A fatal Faux-Pas that we encounter all too often is to concentrate on the course itself, instead of focusing on the end result they want to achieve. Colleges are full of students who took a course because it seemed fun – instead of the program that would surely get them an enjoyable career or job.
Imagine training for just one year and then end up doing a job for a lifetime. Avoid the mistake of taking what may be a very ‘interesting’ program and then put 10-20 years into a job you don’t like!
Make sure you investigate how you feel about earning potential and career progression, and if you’re ambitious or not. You need to know what industry expects from you, what particular accreditations they want you to have and how you’ll gain real-world experience.
Always seek guidance and advice from an experienced industry professional, even if you have to pay a small fee – it’s considerably cheaper and safer to investigate at the start if your choices are appropriate, instead of discovering after several years of study that you’ve picked the wrong track and have wasted years of effort.
It’s likely that you’re a practical sort of person – a ‘hands-on’ individual. If you’re like us, the unfortunate chore of reading reference guides is something you’ll force on yourself if you absolutely have to, but you’d hate it. Consider interactive, multimedia study if book-based learning really isn’t your style.
Memory is vastly improved when all our senses are brought into the mix – experts have been clear on this for years now.
Locate a program where you’ll get a host of DVD-ROM’s – you’ll start with videos of instructor demonstrations, with the facility to fine-tune your skills in fully interactive practice sessions.
Every company that you look at should willingly take you through some samples of their courseware. Expect video tutorials, instructor led classes and a wide selection of interactive elements.
Often, companies will only use purely on-line training; while you can get away with this much of the time, consider how you’ll deal with it if your access to the internet is broken or you get slow speeds and down-time etc. It’s much safer to rely on physical CD or DVD discs that removes the issue entirely.
