A very small number of men and women in the UK today are enjoying job satisfaction. The vast majority of course will do nothing about it. You've reached this paragraph, which surely tells us that you know it's time to make a change.
Prior to considering specific training programs, find an expert who will be able to guide you on the right type of training for you. A person who will ask questions about your likes and dislikes, and find out what types of work suit you:
* Are you hoping to be involved with others in the workplace? Is that as part of a team or with many new people? Maybe working on your own on specific tasks would give you pleasure?
* What elements are you looking for from the industry your job is in? (Things do change - look at the building trade, or banks for example.)
* Do you want this to be the only time you will need more qualifications?
* Are you happy that the training program you've chosen will offer you employment opportunities, and make it possible to work right up to the time you want to stop?
Pay attention to the IT industry, that will be time well spent - you'll find it's one of the only growth areas in this country and overseas. In addition, salaries and benefits exceed most other industries.
Sometimes, individuals don't comprehend what information technology is all about. It is electrifying, revolutionary, and means you're doing your bit in the gigantic wave of technology affecting everyones lives in the 21st century. Technology, computers and interaction through the internet will spectacularly alter the way we live our lives in the near future; incredibly so.
The typical IT employee over this country as a whole is likely to get significantly more money than fellow workers in much of the rest of the economy. Average wages are around the top of national league tables. Apparently there is not a hint of a downturn for IT jobs increases across Britain. The market is continuing to expand rapidly, and as we have a significant shortage of skilled professionals, it's not likely that it will even slow down for the significant future.
Often, students don't think to check on a vitally important element - how their company segments the training materials, and into how many bits. Usually, you'll join a programme that takes between and 1 and 3 years and receive a module at a time. It seems to make sense on one level, but consider these issues: What would their reaction be if you find it difficult to do each and every module at the speed they required? Sometimes their preference of study order doesn't work as well as an alternative path could be.
An ideal situation would be to have every piece of your study pack delivered to you right at the start; the entire thing! Then, nothing can hinder your capability of finishing.
Workshops can be portrayed as a strong aspect by a lot of trainers. When you talk to many IT students who have used them, you'll likely realise that they've now become a major negative as they hadn't properly considered the following:
* Loads of travelling to and from the workshop centre - sometimes very long trips.
* Monday to Friday availability to workshops is the norm, and trying to take several days leave in a single chunk can represent quite a problem for many working people.
* Most of us find 4 weeks annual leave doesn't go very far. Sacrifice a big chunk of this for study events and see how much more difficult it makes things.
* 'In-Centre' workshop days normally end up way too big.
* Many trainees are trying to maintain a quick pace, but some like to take it easier and be allowed to set their own speed. This generates tension in most cases.
* Tot up the cost of all the travel, fares, accommodation, parking and food and you may be surprised (and not pleasantly). Trainees mention extra costs of between several hundred and a couple of thousand pounds. Work it out - and see for yourself.
* Is it worth any chance of getting ignored for a lift up the ladder or wage increases because you're getting trained in a different area.
* Don't think it's unusual for trainees not to put a question forward that they would like answered - purely because they're surrounded by fellow attendees.
* If your work takes you away from home, you now have to deal with the fact that events now become impossible to get to - and yet, the money has already been paid.
Doesn't it make more sense to be taught when it suits you -- not the training company - and exploit instructor-led videos with interactive lab's. You can train wherever you want. Got a laptop?... Then take in a little sunshine in your garden at the same time. If you have any difficulties then get onto the live 24x7 support. Classes and lessons can be repeated as often as you want - the more times you cover something - the more you'll remember. And there's no need to take notes - it's all ready to go. Put directly: You save money, avoid hassle, don't waste time and altogether avoid polluting the skies.
