Today’s IT market is also impossible to imagine without the work of HR specialists and recruiters
So, we’ve decided on IT courses and even decided to take them, but here’s the question – what IT profession to choose? What are they like and what should you do there? Let’s find out. Our team has developed a special test that will determine which iT-profession suits you best. To begin with, let us distinguish the areas of iT activity. These are development, design, management, marketing, support, and analytics. In each direction, we distinguish the actual IT professions, which correspond to certain skills. Let’s try to briefly describe them. In IT development the most recognizable and well-known profession is certainly the programmer (deals with the creation of computer programs, algorithms, and sites). Profession programmer is divided into many names by programming languages (Java, PHP, JavaScript, JavaAndroid, etc.),. Designed to “animate” the pages of the site, – the tester – checks the IT product for various bugs and inaccuracies in use, looking for “pitfalls”. Here, for example, QA automation monitors the quality of the product at various stages of its development, testing and operation and, like programmers, is engaged in the development, only he creates a product to check the written programmers. – JS programmer turns “lifeless” web pages into full-featured web applications, allows the user to speed up the interaction with the site, and reduces the load on the server. Front-end programmers should be proficient in HTML markup, CSS, and JavaScript programming languages as well as React, Angular, and Vue frameworks. A good front-end programmer also knows server-side languages, which is necessary to understand the relationship between the client side and the server side. The direction of IT design is simpler. Here we can distinguish the following professions:
– Web designer – an artist with a technical mindset. We can say that their task is to create an attractive and user-friendly web design and interface, which in turn are indicators of quality software. Also, the web design depends on the number of users of an Internet resource, which is important to take into account for the programmer when developing a web application. The ability to properly use web design is a big plus for the developer. For example, web design UX includes information architecture, interaction design, graphic design, and content. Web design UI – this is a narrower concept, which includes a specific set of graphically designed technical elements (buttons, checkboxes, selectors, and other fields). Its task is to help the user organize the interaction with the program/site. With management in IT in general, “everything is simple”: IT director, project manager, and product manager. Be a computer genius, a good manager, create and, you know, manage.
The BidForWriting shows that the directions of IT marketing are more diverse:
– SMM manager – promotes the product on social media,
– SEO-specialist – promotes sites on the Web, – Internet marketing specialist – promotes a brand on the Internet,
– IT sales manager – an intermediary between a customer and an IT company,
– PR manager – a specialist in public relations.
IT support is a rather large and important “piece” of the IT industry. This includes:
– database administrator system administrator or sysadmin – makes sure the computers and software work properly, – Information security specialist – invents systems to ensure the safety of information at various levels,
– Network administrator – designs networks and establishes info-communications,
– CRM manager – builds relationships with clients, – technical support service specialist. In IT analytics we can distinguish a system analyst who develops IT systems that work to improve business efficiency, a web analyst who analyzes user behavior on the website and a Big Data analyst who studies large amounts of data in science and business.
Today’s IT market is also impossible to imagine without the work of HR specialists and recruiters. But, nevertheless, very often we have to deal with the misconception of developers and other professionals about such employees. Who are IT-HR and IT recruiters? IT Recruiters are specialists whose scope of work includes recruiting. Choosing the right candidate can help increase productivity, profits, and loyalty IT recruiters are specialists whose job description includes recruiting. Choosing the right candidate can help increase productivity, profits, and employee loyalty. The wrong choice usually results in a high turnover of personnel or insufficient competence of employees. HR specialists are engaged in recruitment, adaptation, assessment, and training. They also (most often – together with the heads of departments) develop a system of motivation in the company, and assess the effectiveness of the company’s personnel. They also have to find out the causes of “turnover” and fight it – if the company has encountered this unpleasant problem. Of course, this does not mean that all this is done by one and the same person. Usually, large companies have entire HR departments, and each employee has his own specialization.
Now we know the IT areas, and IT professions in them, all that is left is to look closely and listen to yourself, to analyze your knowledge, skills, and desires among other things.
