PC and network support technicians are ever more in demand in this country, as institutions are becoming more reliant on their technical advice and ability to fix and repair. Whilst our society becomes massively more reliant on our PC's, we additionally find ourselves more reliant on the commercially qualified IT professionals, who keep the systems going.

Finding your first job in the industry can be a little easier if you're offered a Job Placement Assistance service. The need for this feature can be bigged up out of proportion though - it's easy for companies marketing departments to overplay it. In reality, the huge shortage of staff in Britain is what will enable you to get a job.

Having said that, it's important to have CV and Interview advice and support though; and we'd encourage any student to get their CV updated the day they start training - don't wait till you've finished your exams. It's possible that you won't have even qualified when you will be offered your first junior support position; however this is not possible if your CV isn't in front of employers. The top companies to help you find a job are usually independent and specialised local recruitment services. As they're keen to place you to receive their commission, they have more incentive to get on with it.

Various students, it would appear, put a great deal of effort into their studies (sometimes for years), and then just stop instead of finding their first job. Promote yourself... Make an effort to let employers know about you. Don't expect a job to just fall into your lap.

Locating job security nowadays is problematic. Companies frequently remove us out of the workplace at a moment's notice - as and when it suits them. Of course, a sector experiencing fast growth, where staff are in constant demand (through an enormous shortage of fully trained professionals), opens the possibility of real job security.

Reviewing the computer sector, a key e-Skills analysis demonstrated a 26 percent deficit in trained staff. Essentially, we can only fill just three out of each four job positions in the computer industry. This single fact in itself is the backbone of why the country urgently requires so many more workers to get trained and enter the Information Technology market. Without a doubt, it really is the very best time to retrain into the computing industry.
