Re: [DMCForum] IT Jobs

["Marc Levy" <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Learning a particular application, or appliance does
not let one write their own ticket.  The reality is
employers want experience in those specific skills.. 
As long as there are experienced people to choose
from, teaching yourself a new skill wont do much good.
 Not to mention, I have not seen any trend in job
advertisements for any specific skills that I don't
have (in the IT realm).

Being a System Administrator (Windows) for the past
10+ years for Technology companies (Lucent, mostly) I
have trouble getting the IDENTICAL job with law firms,
banks, and drug companies.  They all want specific
experience in their industry.  Most if not all IT
people know the application itself is not all that
important (it is easy to pick up on the new
applications), but the hiring managers have a large
pool to choose from so why not get someone with the
specific experience they are looking for?? 

Still, don't know why any company in the US would feel
the need to import talent with so many US Citizens who
are unemployed.  It is bad enough all of the help desk
and development jobs are being exported to India.
