IT Career Paths Top Certifications

IT pros just breaking into the industry are smart to set their sights on the help desk. It’s the easiest way to start in the technology industry and make $50,000 a year on average. According to the BLS, there are more than 860,000 help desk positions throughout the United States. Every midsize and larger organization — be it hospital, bank, utility or university — operates a help desk, and the number of organizations offering that service is expected to increase 10 percent within the next year. Key certifications to help you land the job include CompTIA A+, ITIL and Microsoft’s MTA.

IT pros moving on from the help desk typically go into networking or security, but the IT field is as open as you want it to be if you continue to learn and prove your skills. For instance, John Amakye started off at the help desk for the City of Minneapolis in 2015. Since he was moving into IT from banking, he had only his CompTIA A+ certification at the time. But he has earned more than 10 certifications since then, which have enabled him to move up three times; he’s now an application programmer. “Being in IT has made me financially independent and allowed me to carve a pathway for myself that is professionally rewarding,” said Amakye.

Data specialists who oversee a company’s database and turn raw data into usable information are looking at an average salary of $90,272, according to BLS. Look to beef up your skills through certifications from IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and SAS.

Reasons You Should Care About CompTIA A+

If you’re not already convinced that CompTIA A+ is a great way to launch your IT career, listen to what Zach Hill of I.T. Career Questions has to say. When the CompTIA A+ Core Series (220-1001/220-1002) launched earlier this year, he identified five things that excite him about the certification and why he thinks it’s relevant to today’s entry-level IT jobs, like help desk technician and technical support specialist. "In my opinion, CompTIA has really raised the bar with the new A+ certification,” Hill said in his video. “They have set a new standard while still keeping in mind that this exam is designed and developed for those who are seeking entry-level job roles.” Highlights of the CompTIA A+ Core Series Scripting: You won’t need to become a programmer or know coding inside and out, but you’ll need to understand the basics of how scripting works and the principles of scripting language. Cybersecurity: The CompTIA A+ Core Series has increased its coverage of cybersecurity, incl

DDoS for hire services

The service is also offering 5%, 7%, 10% and 15% discounts to prospective customers, with a return policy based on the remaining time from the originally purchased package. The service profiled in this post, is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the overall availability of DDoS for hire managed services within the cybercrime ecosystem. This fierce competition prompts for unique client acquisition tactics, such as offering complete anonymity throughout the purchasing and post-purchasing process in order to ensure that anyone can request any target, including high profile ones, to be attacked. Moreover, although the service is undermining the OPSEC (operational security) of the proposition by advertising on public forums, the business model of the competition is often driven by invite-only sales, where prospective customers are trusted and verified as hardcore cybercriminals with a significant credibility within the cybercrime ecosystem. These competing services even offer the po

Develop Your Best Tech Partners

Success in the tech industry doesn’t come easy. You need the right solutions, the right salespeople, the right marketers. But to really gain traction in the market, you need a deep pool of partners—solution providers, MSPs, integrators, etc.—capable of acting as an extended sales force for your products and services. Building a broad, deep of talent partners requires a well-thought-out strategy because partners come in all shapes and sizes and treating them all equally is likely to end up frustrating you, your partners, and ultimately your customers. To help tech vendors better understand the dynamics of a strong partner base, CompTIA has developed a series of training programs, Channel Account Manager (CAM) Training 101 for beginners, and CAM Training 201 for more advanced channel management initiatives. The programs are available for free to all CompTIA corporate members, but they’re also available to non-members for a fee as well. More Info: comptia certified jobs
