Business SkillsEmployment surveys have been telling us for a number of years that IT pros must possess business skills as wellas technical expertise, and in a down economy IT folks who understand the business could be considered morevaluable than those who don’t. A survey by CompTIA of 215,085 IT pros found that employers valued “inter-personal and communication†skills in addition to ‘strategic thinking†and “project management†know-how.The survey, which was conducted in 2007, found that 73% of respondents said they planned to upgrade theirbusiness skills within two years, with the majority studying for project management skills.9. Programming Languages (C, C++, C#)Forget about programming jobs being outsourced, experts with C, C++ and C# skills “have emerged as a highlydesired skill set, being cited as ‘in demand’ just as often as Business Intelligence and Enterprise Solutions skills,â€according to the Veritude 2009 IT Outlook Report. Demand for software engineers increased from 27% to 32%,according Veritude’s survey of IT hiring managers.Those programming languages are also consistently the top most wanted programming skills in Dice reports. InFebruary and March, Dice posted 9,881 and 10,465 Cx jobs, respectively.Software engineering topped Money Magazine and Salary.com’s list of Best Jobs in America 2007, noting thatthe number of programming jobs would balloon from 800,050 in 2004, to 1.2 million in 2014. The profession,with an average annual salary of $80,427, beat college professor and inancial advisor in the list.8. TelecommunicationsThe government’s $7.2 billion broadband stimulus initiative to extend broadband to rural and unserved commu-nities will mean jobs for pros with telecom skills. Telecom providers operate in a very competitive market, and while operators cut costs in stagnant areas of their markets, they’re still investing in others. For instance, AT&T this year cut its capital expenditure by $3 billion but it is investing in 3,000 new jobs for its mobility, broadband, and video initiatives, reports Unstrung.Telecoms knowledge is also sought by CIOs. In Robert Half Technology’s Q209 report, telecoms support was theifth-highest skill sought by respondents, up from the sixth highest in the previous quarter.7. WirelessCisco generated buzz in its training community late last year when it launched the expert-level CCIE certiicationin wireless networking. As part of the launch, it commissioned a study conducted by Forrester Consulting, whichfound that 36% of global companies surveyed predicted that the number of dedicated wireless specialists ontheir IT staff would almost double in the next ive years.“In our research we found a pervasive need for wireless skills, and not just in North America,†says Sanjay Meh-ta, Cisco product marketing manager for wireless and mobility. “The need for experts to design, deploy, manageand troubleshoot is growing exponentially.†He says the wireless certiication is particularly popular in emergingmarkets, such as Brazil, India, and China, where new wireless infrastructures are being built from the ground up.6. IT SecurityThis skill was called out by Foote Partners as one of three certiication groups that saw signiicant gains in pay.A total of 18 different security certiications, including Check Point Certiied Master Architect and Cisco Certi-ied Security Professional, were listed among the IT certiications that earned the highest pay premiums in FootePartners’ 2009 IT Skills and Certiications Pay Index.Security will never go out of style, even during a recession, as businesses are required to comply with regula-tory controls and data protection requirements. Meanwhile, hackers continue their assaults no matter whatthe economy is doing. A survey by the SANS Institute showed that through the end of November 2009, 79% ofrespondents saw no cuts to their security stafing levels.5. IT Architect/Project ManagementThe same Foote Partners report also notes that “nothing has been hotter†than IT architect and project manage-ment skills and that “they will still be hot commodities long after the economy improves.†Certiied folks in thatcategory reported pay increases of 10% in the last 12 months to January 2009, according to the Foote Partnersreport.The Open Group’s IT Certiied Architect and the Project Management Institute’s Project Management Profes-sional designations were the certiications that commanded the highest pay premiums, according to the report4. ITILThe Information Technology Infrastructure Library is a business framework that was developed by the U.K.’sOfice of Government Commerce. It is the subject of much buzz on this side of the pond, with irms such as DHLand General Motors adopting the IT services eficiency framework. A quick search of the Indeed job search ag-gregator site netted 6,266 jobs, with salaries ranging from $50,000 to $130,000. ITIL is cited by Foote Partners’IT Skills and Certiication Pay Index report, for the last three months of 2008 as a skill that is seeing a sharpincrease in pay and demand.Foote Partners notes a “sharp increases in pay and demand for ITIL, CoBIT and similar expertise†in 2009, andthat “while valuable in short range cost reduction initiatives, these are also core enterprise skills with high re-use value long term.â€3. Networking/Windows AdministrationProving that networking and Microsoft Windows administration skills will likely never go out of style, these twoskills consistently appear as either the irst, second, or third most sought after skill in Robert Half Technology’squarterly skills surveys. A full 65% (the second highest number) of CIOs surveyed for the Q209 report said theyrequired network administration skills, while 64% (the third highest) of executives said they needed Windowsadmin experts. The skill most in demand in Q209 is desktop support, according to the survey.Networking/systems admin jobs were cited in the Top 20 Most Recession-Proof Professions report by Jobfoxfrom data collected during November 2007 to July 2008. The report noted that there is a limited supply ofqualiied workers in that profession, and reported that the median salary in the U.S. for such roles is between$65,000 and $75,000.2. Web 2.0Organizations have moved beyond establishing Web sites for their brands. Now they are embracing social mediasites such as Twitter and Facebook, where you can ind such household names as Ford Motor Company andAT&T. CIOs in a wide range of organizations are demanding IT professionals who can keep them up to speedwith the fast-moving Web 2.0 world. Web development and Web site design irst appeared as a sought-afterskill in Robert Half Technology’s Q408 report, when 42% of CIOs surveyed said they were in needs of suchexpertise. In Q209, 39% of respondents had a demand for Web skills.According to PayScale.com, the typical salary for a Web designer in the U.S. range from $37,285 to $59,070.This compares to $60,000 for a Web developer, $40,000 for a graphic designer, and $60,000 for a programmer,according to Simply Hired a search engine for jobs.1. VirtualizationVirtualization is hot. Vendors are jostling for lead position in the virtualization stakes and user organizations areseeing virtualization beneits through increased eficiency, lower costs, quick return on investment, and a morelexible computing model. But virtualization is complex; it encompasses the entire IT infrastructure, from thedesktop to servers and storage systems. That’s why IT professionals with virtualization experience are much indemand.According to a recent article in Virtualization Review, jobs Web site Dice.com reported that the number of jobsadvertised from January 2008 through the irst week of November increased by 43% and 37% for VMware andgeneral virtualization skills, respectively. That compares with a total job count that was down 12% during thesame period.Virtualization skills was cited by 35% of the 1,400 CIOs surveyed for the Robert Half Technology IT Hiring Indexand Skills Report for the second quarter of 2009, up from 30% in the Q1 report. Virtualization as a skill irst ap-peared in the Q208 survey when it was cited by 26% of respondents.The IT pro who can understand how his employer’s business works and can articulate how technology can beused to meet and exceed the company’s goals is a true gem.Jadi mana2 studenT/sesapa juga yg ingin menjadi hot dalam pasaran kerja "IT" maka blehlah prepare dan lengkapkan ilmu2 mana yg patut...

Cuma nak digolongkan sbagai hacker tu yg susah skit tu. Hacker berkembang selari ngan IT security tu sendiri. Ko sebagai student programming sepatutnya lebih arif tentang dunia hackers ni.. ::icon_bounce:: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
