Interview Question :: ADVISE: are you a professional in the IT industry


I am graduating with a Bachelor in Business Administration with emphasis in Information Systems.
I have taken only 1 course of java and 1 course of SQL and 1 course of networking.

I think my degree sucks but I need to pay my loans back (I owe around $45,000. I need to study something else, I know, so as to put in my resume. I like programming, I like databases, I am ok with networking but not as much as databases and programming. Please give me an advise on what should I learn so I can be more marketable in the job market.

Based on your advise, I will go to amazon.com and buy a book and learn it. Please serious responses.
Thank you
Please only the ones in the IT industry.

RE: ADVISE: are you a professional in the IT industry?

If you are looking forward to a career in Database adminstration, you can study Oracle DBA, if you have an emphasis on web programming, then you can study php-mysql,

If you want to have employment in big companies then Java-JSP-Oracle (Database programming in Java) for different databases will be helpful.

If you want to specialize in databases , the you have to have at least working knowledge of all the major databases.



Oracle - is used mostly in Commercial Establishmets)

(SAP is another option for Large Companies)

MS SQL, SQL Server is a choice in smaller companies, and in some web applications (It is used with ASP - microsoft's scripting language for web applications)



In Open source , PHP and MySQL is mostly used in web applications



(You can find a lot of useful tutorial etc on web)

Since your background of study is business, my professional advise to you is, leverage what you had and venture into any of the fields I listed below. Real world enterprise applications are multi-tiers, and they involve complex databases. Sure you get to do lots of programming and databases. You need the networking knowledge, so don't neglect it. Besides the programming skills and technology that you must be good at, it is an advantage over other candidates if you have the domain knowledge of the fields you are going to venture into. Do read up,



1. ERP

2. SAP

3. Accounting Systems

4. Supply Chain Management

This may be somewhat dependent on what you want to get into, but there is still a vast majority of dynamic internet content that relies on php with MySQL as the backend which isn't very likely to change anytime soon. I've worked with Paradox, Delphi, Access (back when it was almost acceptable for simple tasks), FileMakerPro, Oracle, MySQL, and probably a handful of others that I can't remember.

If you get to know the ins and outs of MySQL you shouldn't have too much trouble transferring to any other SQL database system. Find a project on sourceforge that needs developers or create your own program for extra resume material. I even have a database project I started over a year ago that lies dormant since I don't have a motivation [read 'paying client'] to continue development on it.
