Job Trends and Training for IT Management Careers

Although many individuals have the desire and talent to have successful careers in information technology--or IT--they have witnessed many of these positions being outsourced to other countries. The jobs they hope for can be filled overseas at the whim of a CEO, and future IT management professionals are somewhat a little nervous about venturing into this field. Who could blame them?

The good news is that, in spite of the bleeding of our IT jobs into other countries, the IT management field has expanded here in the United States. Since 2000, jobs have, indeed, increased on our home turf, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates it believes this trend will continue.

One process that is difficult to "farm out" is management. Since managers must be aware of a company's specific needs, it's nearly impossible to offshore that job. Here are a few ways you can prepare for a job in IT management right here on U.S. soil.

Jobs of Tomorrow

Many people are heeding the advice to return to school and improve their odds of landing a job as well as their pay. However, what jobs will be available in the future? To answer that, you have to look at current trends and think about the momentum they have. Here are some ideas on how the future might look.

Service Industries

The trend has been an increase of service jobs, and that does not show any sign of abating. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the service industry is expected to grow by leaps and bounds while manufacturing is expected to decline.

Within this category, here are the expected high performers:

• Business services
• Professional services
• Financial services
• Health and education
• Leisure and hospitality
• Information services
• Trade and transporation
• Utilities

Production Industries

Although this sector is expected to decline slightly, some of the subcategories will see an increase. One of those is the construction field, which is expected to increase about 10%. Much of this increase is due to our aging infrastructure, which will need repairs and replacement and a faster rate then previously.

Looking For A Job? Have A Great Resume

by Peter Gootrony

The job seeker world is tough right now, in fact it's always tough if you want a great job. So it's important to know exactly how to write a good resume. That's where landing a great job starts.

Job applicants have to compete with hundreds or even thousands of other job applicants for every good job. Your personal job history is important to you, but to anyone in charge of making those all important job interviews, if your personal job history doesn't jump out and hit them in the face when they look at your resume chances are it will end up in the trash, like hundreds of others.

Your resume is your summary of your skills and job history. It has to be good to stay in front of the person who decides who gets the interview. Will your resume get you the interview? Or will someone else's trump yours?
