If you look at the current state of affairs in our country and around the world there is increasing economic growth. This means that it will become easier to find a job. There are many companies that would like to employ new talent. Top five If you want to practice one of the following five ICT jobs, you will definitely get there with these tips!
1. Developer
Are you accurate (with one dot or comma that is misplaced, it already goes wrong) and you have analytical thinking (core of the matter, what changes should be made? What should remain the same?), But are you also a team player who can advise, present and communicate well with colleagues? Then developer is for you. You are, as it were, involved with facets of the software development process. You will write, implement and test software. You can fulfill this function with the HBO Computer Science degree. After four years you can call yourself Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology. The advantage of being a developer is that self-learning is also possible. You do not necessarily have to follow a course, but there is also a lot of information on the internet. If you are just starting out, you can work on the basis of a secondment contract. This is useful, because you can gain a lot of experience with this in various companies and projects. In practice you often continue to do the same work, but you can also focus on other aspects such as: marketing, management, etc. The job is very popular and opens many doors for you. You can become a user interviewer or manager of an IT department. It is also important to know that the salary ranges from € 20,000 to € 50,000 per year.
2. Project manager
The name project manager says it all, you are going to lead a project and like any manager you have to achieve a certain result in a period. If you are a real speaker (giving presentations, conducting meetings), inspector (checking whether the wishes and requirements of the project are fulfilled), designer (designing a project plan in the beginning) and stress-resistant, etc. This job is for you. This is a much chosen job because it varies from sectors in ICT to construction. It varies from clothing manufacturers who want to release a new catalog to a machine factory that has to produce a new machine.
It is therefore a broad job and the Business Administration MER or Business Economics courses fit in with this. If you already know which direction you want to go, such as technical courses, you can look at Industrial Engineering or in the ICT sector, the course that most closely matches: HBO-ICT.
These courses are good bases, but specialization is useful, so that you are hired faster to the job of your choice. For example, certificates or diplomas can also be obtained to give the training more strength. However, experience is required to fulfill the role of project manager. After some experience as a team leader and being able to find solutions well, project managers are selected who are experts in their field and who can perform the associated work. The salary can be € 24,000 to € 49,000 annually.
3. Software engineer
This is very similar to the job as a developer. The main difference here is that you must have experience in at least one programming language such as HTMLS, JavaScript etc. You will practice software that is readable by users of the software, but also for IT colleagues who have to work with it. You will therefore develop, maintain, test and evaluate the software. After implementing new software, you should be able to explain any errors and difficulties and guide users in applying them. The biggest difference is that you need training, but you don't have to be specifically focused. Competition is fierce, but the job is still in high demand. It is useful, however, to specify yourself to convince the employer of your own expertise. You can follow several courses such as information technology, computer science, etc. to practice this function. Furthermore, studying is important, such as obtaining your Master's degree. Studying and specifying are most likely to be hired, because you also have to continuously develop and keep your knowledge up to date. The average salary ranges from € 23,000 to € 38,000, but can also eventually reach € 52,000 per year.
4. ICT support
Are you friendly, patient and specialized in solving various ICT problems (computer and software)? You are mainly working on the help desk and you are busy solving problems such as a missing USB port or easy problems such as having no internet connection and cannot find a cause for this. The work is also very varied, because you are not only busy solving customer problems, but also writing manuals, testing websites, etc. The training offer is very large. For example, courses in this area are available for MBO, but HBO and University students also practice this. Furthermore, there are many career opportunities to be found, such as becoming a senior employee or perhaps even a project manager. If you also strive for jobs in the ICT sector such as system administrator, technical ICT specialist, etc., this profession is an excellent stepping stone. There are many ICT jobs available, but there is also a lot of competition from many graduates. Once again, specialization is important in this. Stand out from the crowd and show why you can best practice the position. Exploring topics such as: print server, Macintosh, etc. can only be an advantage over other candidates. Like most ICT-related professions, it is important that you continue to develop yourself and also be aware of the latest technical developments. A starting employee starts with € 15,000 per year and as you gain more experience, this can increase to € 28,000.
5. Information analyst It is therefore important to really distinguish yourself from the rest through further studies, qualifications and experience. It is also important that you do something you like. Hopefully, this information and tips will help you find your job. Are you looking for a student (side) job in ICT?
