Job Findings | Results and Reflections (INTRICT)

1. TECHNICAL SKILLS. From the data acquired, I've noticed that C++, MS SQL, Visual Basic, Java, JavaScript, and C, are the programming languages that one must be very familiar with and knowledgeable about. Different companies require for an individual to be familiar with different programming languages, and NOT JUST ONE. From the job findings, I realized that, when one desires to work in the IT industry, he/she must be flexible with the different programming languages that are utilized in the IT field. I just wonder why C++ is more required than Java.



2. NON-TECHNICAL SKILLS. In the IT industry, excellent communication skills and the ability to build and develop interpersonal relationships are important factors for a clear and smooth interaction among the different IT fields (development, designing, etc.) Companies also require great analytical and problem-solving skills since these are factors for an optimum performance in the industry. Take for example when developing an application: one cannot develop an application if he/she can't analyze the application and come up with possible solutions for its development. Also, being a team player is also a requirement and I believe it's needed in the IT industry, because no one can make a great product or output on his/her own, that work should be done always as a unit or a team. Working under minimal supervision is also a requirement; though working as a team in the IT field is important, a team is still divided into certain assignments and tasks in which different individuals to work on their own. One member of the team cannot afford to supervise the work of his/her teammate/s since it will totally decrease the former's time to work properly. Lastly, just like in any industry, to be able to work under pressure is a requirement. Deadlines and tons of tasks are also "formidable foes" for everyone in the IT industry, and it's important to work properly through these pressures, because if not, deadlines will not be met and tasks will not be accomplished.



3. RESPONSIBILITIES. The responsibilities for the jobs are given of great importance too, since these responsibilities will all be carried out through the technical and non-technical skills that the employees possess. There are variations in responsibilities but still, companies require effort in the carrying out of these reponsibilities. From the results, applications development is the usual responsibilities. In the IT industry, development of applications is the usual but great responsibility since, in the industry, all applications aren't retained as is but are modified and changed from time to time, probably according to the needs and wants of particular generation or a specific group of people.
