In my opinion, being a qualified professional in the field of Information Technology is a challenging yet rewarding task. My long-term career goal is to get a job in cybersecurity or an IT company. I prefer management to development and testing since, as for me, it requires high levels of responsibility and a profound understanding of how the company operates as a whole. My goals directly intersect with Walden University’s mission and vision since they will make me a qualified professional in the field of Information Technology. This degree will also provide me with information on how to manage the company effectively and ethically.
I think it is only logical to start as an intern and gain valuable knowledge for my future profession. Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago is currently hiring people who are inexperienced in Information Technology but want to improve and learn. My qualification allows me to enter the program and see how a regulatory bank supervises its staff, as well as other banks with the help of IT. This internship may give me valuable insight into the company’s work ethics and staff collaboration and help me develop decision-making strategies.
Most of the positions in management require extensive experience in the field. The job posts made by Amazon and Synnax corporations are incredibly similar when it comes to requirements. Both companies stress the importance of working in a team, efficient problem-solving, and from five to ten years of experience. The necessity of a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science is also mentioned in both posts, as well as the knowledge of foreign languages in the latter. The salary in the job post offered by Synnax is substantially higher. Since organizations rely on IT when distributing, analyzing, collecting, and storing information, my degree in Information Technology and Cyber Security will allow me to meet one of the main requirements (Williams & Sawyer, 2015). The other skills listed in the job post can be obtained with relative ease, given enough time and practice.
