10 skills you need to know to land on an IT job

1. Communication
As an IT pro, you'll need to be able to communicate well with your supervisors and colleagues to help them solve technical issues and better harness the power of their tech tools. If you're a developer or work in IT security, you'll need to work well on teams and communicate your ideas well with coworkers. Almost every IT job requires good communication skills, both verbal and written – email communication will likely be a big part of your job. Technology is not a solitary field, despite how it's often portrayed. If you enjoy teaching people about technology and explaining technical subjects in terms anyone can understand, a career in IT could be for you. CIO Magazine, for example, recognizes the need for strong communication skills in the IT space. In a recent article by the magazine, CompTIA's James Stanger stated that soft skills are one of the seven hot career trends in the future.

2. Organization
Being organized makes you more efficient and productive at work. Many IT careers are dynamic, giving you the opportunity to jump around to several different projects and tasks. Multitasking can be an important skill – but only if you can properly organize yourself. The ability to keep track of things such as your schedule and daily tasks is essential and so, too, is being able to chunk and prioritize your daily responsibilities efficiently. If organization and time management come easily to you, your role in the technology sector might also.

3. Analytical Abilities
Being analytical gives you a major edge in IT, where you're expected to find logical solutions to problems frequently. Analytical abilities allow you to diagnose technical issues and fix them. They enable you to do things like figure out why a line of code isn't yielding the desired result or why a server's down. If you have an analytical mind, you might even identify problems before they arise, or maybe you feel compelled to take things apart to get a better idea of how they work. If this is the case, you're probably an IT pro in the making. Examples of analytical abilities include the ability to create – and read – pivot tables in a spreadsheet, identify trends over time and identify key performance indicators. It's also important to learn how to identify critical events and eliminate outliers from data sets.

4. Creativity
Creativity may not be a stated requirement for all IT jobs, but it's a useful talent in many of them. If tech moguls like Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs hadn't been creative, they would have never come up with their groundbreaking products and revolutionary ideas. Even if you don't aspire to be the next Bill Gates, your tech job will probably require you to come up with ideas to improve processes or products or to help coworkers find innovative solutions to their tech problems. In fact, one of the major requirements in today's IT jobs is the ability to use technology creatively to fulfill a particular business need or create a solution that helps the company move forward.

5. Project Management
As an IT professional, chances are, you'll be juggling multiple projects and responsibilities, and being able to meet deadlines and hit benchmarks is critical. Good project management involves the ability to make professional plans, set and reach goals, and work with colleagues to resolve project issues. A natural aptitude for project management would make you a great fit for many careers in technology. Refined project management skills also give you an edge if you want to move into a leadership position. Being able to consistently bring projects to fruition with the help of colleagues can definitely win you accolades from the higher-ups and slate you for promotions into positions that require more responsibility.

6. Perseverance
If you don't give up easily on difficult tasks, you could go far in a technology job. The best IT professionals are willing to tinker around persistently with a particular technology to find solutions to challenges even when everyone else has given up. Technology jobs also require a commitment to learning and self-growth – as practices and technology tools are always changing. You have to be able to persevere as new information and new challenges are thrown your way. When the going gets tough, the most stellar IT pros stick with it and reap the rewards.

7. Problem Solving
Do you like solving puzzles? As mentioned, IT jobs are some of the best jobs for problem-solving. Ever spent hours trying to figure out why your personal computer, printer, or phone isn't doing what you want it to and had fun doing it? An information technology career might be right up your alley. A lot of the technical skills you need for various careers in IT can be picked up through tinkering and trial and error, so problem-solving abilities are necessary for your entrance into the field.

8. Resourcefulness
Part of being resourceful in IT involves being able to find technology, software, and products that enhance your own productivity and the productivity of others. IT professionals who know how to use available resources well tend to shine in their jobs. And IT workers who are consistently interested in seeking out new resources often have an edge. Resourcefulness is especially handy for those with less technology experience – like career changers. You don't have to always have the answer – you just need to know how to find it.

9. Curiosity
Finding enjoyment in learning new things and genuinely wanting to know how things work are major plusses for IT workers. In general, curiosity about the inner workings of devices will get you far in IT. The best security professionals, for example, have an innate sense of curiosity about how things work underneath the hood, like how to pe*****te systems. Without this sense of curiosity, they would most likely not be as creative in applying security controls to company processes.

10. Interest in Helping Others
Although IT isn't traditionally thought of as a “helping” field like medicine or social work, a big part of almost every technology job involves helping people, whether you're creating new technology that makes people's lives easier or helping them figure out ways around technology hurdles. Information technology jobs are some of the best careers for people who love to help others. The ability to work as a team is critical, as noted in this article, where CompTIA was asked about the importance of teamwork as perhaps the most vital soft skill.

There are so many advantages you’ll gain by using Agile in your project work. Here, we have highlighted our top 8 benefits of Agile.

1. Responsive
Adaptability is a defining characteristic of an Agile approach to projects. Agile is designed to handle and even welcome change.

The whole methodology is built for projects with continually changing requirements. It’s a great choice for anyone with evolving or difficult to define project criteria.

2. Sustainable
Agile is also set up for continuous momentum. One of the 12 principles of Agile is that the pace must be sustainable. This is a much more reliable approach than spurts of intense productivity followed by burnout.

3. Value
Agile projects deliver value early and frequently throughout the lifecycle of a project. Customer satisfaction is the top priority of an Agile project, and early and regular value delivery ensures this. It also promotes higher quality and a more tightly prioritized project overall.

4. Quality
Every element of Agile project management contributes to a higher level of quality. Teams communicate continuously and priorities are reviewed regularly. Simplicity is emphasized at all times and project teams are supported in every way.

5. Greater Control
Through the regular review and re-prioritization prompted by an Agile approach, you’ll retain a greater level of control over your project budget and scope.

6. Stakeholder Engagement
Agile project teams communicate continuously, preferably with face-to-face conversations. This frequent and clear interaction encourages the sharing of ideas, solutions, and better ways to do things. Obstacles are overcome faster and miscommunication is minimized.

7. Collaboration
Agile project teams communicate continuously, preferably with face-to-face conversations. This frequent and clear interaction encourages the sharing of ideas, solutions, and better ways to do things. Obstacles are overcome faster and miscommunication is minimized.

8. Lower Risk
All of these benefits contribute to a lower level of risk with Agile projects. You’ll gain greater visibility on the progress of the project and spot any potential obstacles in time to resolve and refocus.

ভালো ক্যারিয়ার গড়ার জন্য Skill বা দক্ষতা অর্জন করা আবশ্যক । সেটা চাকুরীতে যোগদানের আগে হোক বা পরে । বর্তমান চাকুরী প্রতিযোগিতায় নিজের স্থান তৈরি করার জন্য দক্ষতা অর্জনের বিকল্প নেই ।
আমরা এখন অনেক প্রতিষ্ঠান দেখতে পাই যারা দক্ষতা অর্জনের জন্য বিভিন্ন কোর্স প্রদান করে থাকে যেগুলো Pre-recorded Video বা রেকর্ডকৃত ভিডিও । আমরা শুধু সেই ভিডিওগুলো দেখতে পারি কিন্তু Interactive ভাবে শিখতে পারি না । Trainer এর কাছে কোন প্রশ্ন থাকলে তা করতে পারি না বা ভিডিওর বাইরে কিছু জানার থাকলে তা জানার উপায় থাকে না ।
কিন্তু অন্যদিকে ProLearning এর কোর্স গুলোতে Live Class এর মাধ্যমে Learner দের জ্ঞান বা দক্ষতা অর্জনে সাহায্য করা হয় । ফলে Learner দের যেকোনো প্রশ্ন বা জিজ্ঞাসা তারা সাথে সাথেই করতে পারে । আবার ProLearning এর কোর্সগুলো কয়েকটি সেশনে ভাগ করা হয় ফলে Learner রা বিষয়গুলো বুঝার সময় পায় এবং কোন প্রশ্ন থাকলে পরবর্তী সেশনে তা জেনে নিতে পারে । আবার লাইভ সেশনের ভিডিওগুলো Learner দের দিয়ে দেওয়া হয় ফলে এই ভিডিওগুলো তারা পরে আবার দেখতে পারে ।
