Now IT is kind of in demand, but companies need IT professionals with extensive experience with the portfolio. And what should young professionals do? I don't have a lot of IT experience

Finding a job is difficult. It is even harder to do this in times of economic crisis and pandemic. It’s not easy to stay motivated when you’re sending out resumes for ten vacancies a day and getting fewer responses. However, the only option is to keep going and not give up.

How to get a job in IT
1. Know the space.
If you’re interested in IT work, it’s a good idea to know what exactly that would look like, and what kinds of jobs are out there. A good first step is to do the research to orient yourself in the IT space. There are several YouTube channels, podcasts, discussion websites (like Reddit, or Quora), and blogs dedicated to helping you learn what IT work is like, and what kind of IT job might be a good fit for you.

Try putting together a list of jobs that you’re interested in. Are you interested in helping an organization’s computer networks function smoothly, or are you interested in developing websites? What sort of organizations are appealing to you? What positions sound like something you’d want to do?

This can help focus your job search. Plus, it’ll get you acquainted with some of the vocabulary you’ll encounter throughout the process. If you’re not sure where to start, try reading about common entry-level IT jobs, or explore what IT career paths are out there.
2. Polish relevant IT skills.
Specific skills that employers are looking for in IT workers can vary from role to role. Look through several job listings you’re interested in to see what specific skills you should sharpen.

Here a few skills you might find listed in an IT job description.

Operating systems: Familiarity with Mac, Linux, and Microsoft operating systems can put you in a good position to work with a variety of devices and can broaden the organizations you’re qualified to work for.

Security: A fundamental understanding of computer and internet security can be useful to your life as an IT professional. This can include concepts like encryption and firewalls.

Networks: Knowing the essentials of networking issues, like network access and IP services, may give you a leg up in your job search.

Communication: Communicating with others will likely be a key part of your work in IT. IT professionals are often expected to help out other members of an organization with technical problems, or cooperate with team members to roll out new projects. Improving your communication skills can be a great boon to your professional life.

3. Get a certification.
Certifications can be a good way to earn a credential and learn fundamental IT concepts. If you're completely new to the field, you can learn a wide variety of basic IT concepts by getting a general entry-level certification, like the CompTIA A+ certification.

You can also earn certifications in specialized areas of IT, like cybersecurity or networks. These can be beneficial if you’re ready to get started in a specific field of IT.

Certifications usually require passing an exam. You can find coursework online or in-person at places like community colleges that can prepare you for certification exams.

Keep in mind: Certifications can cost up to several hundred dollars. But if you feel confident about your decision to enter the IT force and need to get some experience and credentials, it could be a worthwhile investment. If you’re currently employed and think an IT certification would be a benefit to you and your company, you may be able to approach your employer to see if they will pay the exam costs.


4. Build your experience.
Whether you’re trying to be a network engineer or system administrator, experience working in your field is likely to be one of your strongest assets when it comes to getting a job. There are several ways you can gain experience.

Coursework: Coursework, whether online or in-person, often requires you to complete hands-on projects or tasks. Some may also prepare you for certification exams. Not sure where to start? Take a look at the Google IT Support Professional Certificate, which prepares you for the CompTIA A+ certification. You may also find introductory IT courses at your local community college, or elsewhere online.

Personal projects: If you work well without having too much structure, you can try to learn through personal projects. Creating your own software, building a website for a friend, or tinkering with a computer network can put your skills to the test and give you something to point to in job applications.

Internships: Internships may not require previous experience and can be a good opportunity to use your skills in a professional setting.

Freelancing: Some professions like web developers can find work as freelancers. Freelancing can be a good way to complete small projects as you look for a full-time job.

Volunteering: Many volunteer organizations are looking for support. Offering your skills can help you complete hands-on projects that you can refer to in a job application.

Education: Though having a degree isn’t a must for many IT jobs, you can gain the in-depth knowledge you need by studying a related field like computer science or computer engineering. If you have the time and resources to put into an associate or bachelor’s degree, it’s a path worth considering.

5. Network.
Networking can be a useful way to find more about a job or company, introduce you to opportunities you wouldn’t have heard of otherwise, or get you a boost in the hiring process. Your network can include old coworkers, friends, family, alumni of your alma maters, or people you reach out to through professional sites like LinkedIn.

Remember that successful networking doesn't always have to end in a new job. You can also network to learn more about what it's like to work in IT, or get some advice about your job search process.

Check out Coursera’s guide on networking to get interviews for more on who to reach out to, and how.

6. Look for entry-level positions.
An entry-level position requires minimal related work experience in most any field. But given the variety of responsibilities you can take on as an IT worker, there are many titles an entry-level position in IT might have. Synodus has many IT positions. Here are a few entry-level titles that you can look for in your job search:

IT associate

Help desk specialist

IT assistant

Computer support specialist

System analyst

Network associate

System administrator

Database administrator
