Does my Degree and Marks matters?
Best way to reduce all extra effort to the get job is college campus placement but if you missed it then it will be the biggest pain to get a good job in market even if you hold good degree and marks.
Very few (Indian) companies will ask you about your marks others want there work done, so in simple word if you know how to work they will take you in even if you are a graduates of any stream they don’t care (why should they?).
Very practical approach towards hiring they don’t want very intelligent guys too as intelligent guys will not obey instructions from (sometimes foolish) Managers and they may not stay longer in the same organization with small salaries so they want someone who don’t have capability to fly but just to do the same work again and again.
Entering into IT is not big thing if one knows how to do it?
Unfortunately all guys who have completed their BE/MCA/BCS or any computer course they want to become developer (either a java or .net).
Where as IT does not mean development only there are many roles and positions in support functions too.
And it’s easy to enter in support function if you compare with development.
Industry is still looking for 1000s of expert support guys to support huge infrastructure.
Now what are the titles of support jobs?
It’s nothing but infra analyst OR system engineer, sound general position but roles may vary like DBA, System administrator, Storage administrator, etc.
You must be having a question in your mind - How to enter in to support functions?
It’s pretty easy just learn something like UNIX, Linux, Oracle, Storage, Shell scripting, Perl scripting and you will get a good consideration and response from IT industry.
There are thousands of guys who are working with BPO’s with degree in computer science
Yes I have seen guys they will hide their education (master degree) to get job in BPO as they don’t hire PG / BE guys.
BPO is good to support initially just for survival in a metro cities so at least you can search for good job in IT.
Unfortunately more than 70% of BPO joiners would not succeed to transform them in to IT once they have joined BPO (as BPO can pay your bills and gives you comfort).
BPO guys can communicate well as this is what they do whole day.
So if one try to acquire any support skill there are hug chances of getting job in IT definitely they would need someone to guide them.
But this comfort zone becomes a weakness and they start accepting things.
BASIC AIX LEARNING
What to do after MCA,MCM,MSC,BSC,BCS and any graduate or Post graduate Course. Not getting job in IT after MCA, MCM, MSC,BSC or BCS. Come and join me to learn AIX.
How to become AIX administrator?
First I will mention here those things which are necessary to become AIX admin.
1. Are you having 12+3 or more education in any field?
2. Do you know anything about UNIX?
3. Do know anything about Linux?
4. Do you know anything about windows?
5. Do you know anything about computer?
If you say yes to 1st and 2nd or 3rd or 4rh or 5th your correct person to become AIX admin.
First thing you should know about me is that I am not your English teacher! I am here to mention some good things which will help you to become AIX admin.
Strong Desire:
Yes it's true if you don’t know anything about UNIX (which is not really a rocket science) you should work hard with consistency.
Learning new things like Language or Technology need strong desire and continuous practice.
If you are working and want to switch the job as AIX administrator this is really not going to be easy but yes if you will give one hour a day I am sure that within 4 month you will be a good AIX administrator.
POWER Machine for Practice:
You need RS600/POWER machine to practice (which is not easy to manage).There are some people who are providing access to AIX machine trough internet (You may want to Google on this). If you don’t have AIX machine still you want to be a AIX administrator.
I will recommend you to read this blog on daily basis. I will try to make you aware of every situation which I am dealing with. You never know you will get a job on the basis of your theoretical knowledge and you can start with AIX.
Read 1 hour per day:
Reading is the best practice to increase your knowledge base and defiantly you will gain something better which you always wanted. Google on AIX daily, find out some good blogs and read them on daily basis. Don’t try to jump on Advanced AIX before you complete the basic AIX stuff.
