Finding your first job in the industry is often made easier if you're supported with a Job Placement Assistance program. But don't place too much emphasis on it - it's easy for eager sales people to make too much of it. In reality, the still growing need for IT personnel in this country is what will make you attractive to employers.

Help and assistance with preparing a CV and getting interviews might be provided (alternatively, check out one of our sites for help). Be sure to you work on your old CV straight away - don't wait until you've finished your exams! It's possible that you won't have even got to the exam time when you will get your initial junior support job; however this is not possible if your CV isn't in front of employers. If you don't want to travel too far to work, then you'll often find that an independent and specialised local employment service may serve you better than some national concern, because they're going to know the local job scene.

Many people, it seems, invest a great deal of time on their training course (sometimes for years), only to do nothing special when looking for a good job. Introduce yourself... Make an effort to get in front of employers. Don't think a job's just going to jump out in front of you.

A key package of training will undoubtedly also include wholly authorised exam preparation systems. Sometimes people can be thrown off course by trying to prepare themselves with questions that aren't from the authorised examining boards. Quite often, the way questions are phrased is unfamiliar and it's important to prepare yourself for this. For many reasons, it's very important to make sure you're absolutely ready for the real exam prior to doing it. Rehearsing simulated exams will help to boost your attitude and saves you time and money on unsuccessful attempts at exams.

The way in which your courseware is broken down for you isn't always given the appropriate level of importance. In what way are your training elements sectioned? And in what sequence and how fast does each element come? Training companies will normally offer a program typically taking 1-3 years, and send out each piece as you finish each section. Sounds reasonable? Well consider these facts: What could you expect if you didn't actually complete everything at the proposed pace? Sometimes their preference of study order won't be as easy as some other structure would for you.

To be in the best situation you would have all the learning modules couriered to your address right at the beginning; the entire package! Then, nothing can hinder your capacity to get everything done.
