Budgets are slowly re-inflating for the summer. Companies have hired the senior level talent in the offseason, and are poised to hire a fresh crop of eager graduates to pair with the overflowing knowledge of their veterans. This natural environment for mentorship allows these young, aspiring IT professionals to soak up as much information as they can about their future craft, and equips them with newfound insight into the job market and local IT landscape, insight that will allow them to see how the industry continues to evolve over the course of their promising careers.
If you are newly graduated, and looking to get into the technology field, don’t settle for a 9-5 job that’s unrelated to your field. Do your research on companies, find which companies hire IT and Software development people, then strategize for ways to get yourself seen. Networking is key (as you’ve already heard), but not just random phone call and appointment blasts. Have an idea of what you are looking for, in terms of industry, field, or specialty, and be able to relay that to your network, so your peers can guide you in your quest.
