Interview Question in Data Management


 

Interview Question :: How marketable would I be with the following IT skills (would you take this program)


I've been accepted into a Master's program (MSc in Information Technology) from a reputable UK program. I have no previous tech work experience but a strong background in finance and some law.

Here are the skills that the program is supposed to teach me:
- Java
-networks and security
-Databases : XHTML,XML,SQL
-UML
-Collections- ArrayList, Vector, iterators, comparators, generics
-Inheritance and interfaces, algebraic approach
-RMI
-ADTs and data structures

I realize that IT experience would affect marketability, but would these base skills position me well for a future in the industry? I'd want to eventually do project management or take on a managerial/finance role within a company...

Thank you!

Well, to begin with, start your project training and take a look at the PMI certification applications.



SQL is important, so is XML. XHTML - not sure how widely used this is anymore.



If I was hiring, I would require the following:



html, javascript, java, sql, perl, Flash including ActionScript, Linux



so there isnt that huge of a disconnect.

Remember though that you can't simply take a program and learn all of these just like that. The listed languages/concepts are quite hard to master and mastering anything like that takes.



Wait for it.

Time!!!
