Gettinginto your first IT role can be a little easier if you're offered a JobPlacement Assistance facility. Don't get caught up in this feature - itisn't unusual for training companies to make it sound harder than itis. At the end of the day, the still growing need for IT personnel inBritain is the reason you'll find a job. Help with your CV andinterview techniques may be available (if not, see one of our sites forhelp). Make sure you work on your old CV right away - don't wait untilyou've finished your exams! A good number of junior support jobs havebeen bagged by students who are still studying and have yet to taketheir exams. At the very least this will get your CV into the'possible' pile and not the 'no' pile. Actually, a local IT focusedrecruitment consultant or service (who will get paid by the employerwhen they've placed you) will be more pro-active than a division of atraining company. It also stands to reason that they'll know the areaand local employers better. Fundamentally, as long as you putthe same commitment into landing your first job as into training, youwon't have any problems. A number of trainees curiously put hundreds ofhours into their training course and then call a halt once they've gotcertified and would appear to think that businesses will just discoverthem. One thing you must always insist on is properdirect-access 24x7 support through professional mentors andinstructors. So many companies we come across only provide office hours(or extended office hours) support. Email support is too slow, andphone support is usually just a call-centre which will take theinformation and email an instructor - who will call back over the nextday or so (assuming you're there), when it's convenient to them. Thisis not a lot of use if you're sitting there confused over an issue andonly have a specific time you can study. Top training providerstend to use an online access round-the-clock system involving manysupport centres throughout multiple time-zones. You get a simpleinterface which accesses the most appropriate office no matter whattime of day it is: Support when you need it. If you opt for less thandirect-access round-the-clock support, you'll end up kicking yourself.You might not want to use the service throughout the night, but whatabout weekends, early mornings or late evenings. One craftyway that course providers make extra profits is via an 'exam inclusive'package and presenting it as a guarantee for your exams. It looksimpressive, but let's just examine it more closely: Obviouslyit isn't free - you're still coughing up for it - it's just beenwrapped up in the price of the package. Evidence shows that whentrainees fund each examination, one by one, they will be much morelikely to pass every time - since they'll be conscious of theirinvestment in themselves and will therefore apply themselvesappropriately. Does it really add up to pay the trainingcollege in advance for examination fees? Hold on to your money and payfor the exam at the time, don't pay mark-ups - and sit exams morelocally - instead of miles away at the college's beck and call. A lotof extra profit is netted by a number of companies that get moneyupfront for exam fees. For various reasons, many students don't taketheir exams and so the company is quids-in. Astoundingly enough,providers exist that actually rely on students not sitting all theexams - as that's very profitable for them. Remember, with 'ExamGuarantees' from most places - they control when and how often you canre-take the exam. You'll have to prove conclusively that you can passbefore they'll pay for another exam. Average exam fees wereabout 112 pounds twelve months or so ago when taken at Prometric or VUEcentres around the United Kingdom. So what's the point of paying maybea thousand pounds extra to get 'Exam Guarantees', when any studentknows that the best guarantee is consistent and systematic learning,coupled with quality exam simulation software. Every programunder consideration should always lead to a widely recognisedcertification as an end-goal - not some little 'in-house' piece ofpaper. All the major IT organisations like Microsoft, Cisco, Adobe orCompTIA have widely acknowledged proficiency courses. Major-leaguecompanies like these will give some sparkle to your CV.
