So, today we will study "Information systems and technologies" (specialty). Graduates this direction very often face the problem of employment. Initially, everyone is told that this will not happen - everyone who has received a diploma will find a job wherever he wants without any problems. But in reality, everything turns out a little differently. Therefore, it is better to know in advance what kind of career can "shine" for you if you choose "Information systems and technologies" (specialty) for admission. Let's try to figure out what vacancies are always open for graduates of this direction. There are a lot of them. And many applicants do not even know who they can get to work in the future.
Engineering
The first option that can only be offered (especially to men) is to work as an engineer. - a specialty that was created specifically for this idea. That is, to graduate graduate engineers. Only a few universities tell about this fact. Indeed, recently this vacancy is considered not the most popular among young professionals. This means that "Information Technologies and Communication Systems" is a specialty that few will go to study.
Plus, the salary of the average engineer in Russia is not that high. But the responsibility and obligations are enormous. Of course, only a small number of applicants will decide to take such a step. And for this reason, you have to lure new students with loud promises about future employment. But is everything really so good?
Teacher
Specialty 090302 ("Information Systems and Technologies") allows future graduates to choose their future place of work on their own. The main thing is that it should be associated with IT technologies. And now, in the age of computer progress, it will not be difficult to find something worthwhile. Only here the competition is huge. Therefore, sometimes graduates of the direction meet in very "interesting" places.
For example, in schools. Any graduate can get a job there. For example, in computer science. After all, work in the specialty "Information systems and technologies" implies demonstration of their skills in relation to technology. In addition, occasionally students who graduated from the direction meet as labor teachers.
But work at school is not a prospect that should attract a young student to study for 5 years. Now, any person who has shown their knowledge in a particular school subject can be hired as a teacher. And the salaries of such workers, frankly, are small. But there is a lot of responsibility (as well as that of engineers). Thus, it is not the best place to work. Of course, unless you have a "soul" for this activity. In other cases, students try to first learn in detail about the specialty "Information systems and technologies", then - to study future jobs, and then make a decision on admission and further education. What else can you offer such graduates?
Communication service
Recently, people are very eager to get to work with different Internet providers or other communication services. Moreover, the first place is considered more prestigious than the second. What to work here?
There are a lot of alternatives - from an ordinary consultant to an installer or engineer. As a rule, it is the "equipment installation" that is chosen. Here you will have to apply all the skills acquired during the training period in practice. Plus, if you studied well, then this lesson will not give you any trouble. But the salary, most likely, will only please. What exactly should you do? Fix transmission line problems, and install necessary equipment for customers and fix problems. For example, come to an apartment, lay a cable and connect an Internet modem and cable TV with a set-top box.
True, sometimes it is an engineer specializing in Information Systems and Technologies who is able to quickly resolve an accident at a station, which "cuts off" Internet communications and telephony for clients. And such specialists are highly valued. Their salary is also pleasing, but there are too many responsibilities and tasks to be performed. The work schedule can "call" you to rest if the situation requires it. For this reason, this position is not very popular. But graduates still have many different career-building alternatives. Which ones?
Operator
The specialty "Information systems and from graduates is different. But all of them, in most cases, are associated with further employment. And the more prestigious the place, the better the opinions."
Just don't be glad that everything is very good here. The point is that only a small number of graduates manage to work in their specialty. The rest are forced to look for themselves at least some place to build a career. And you can often find them as telecom operators.
More precisely, we are talking about a telephone consultant operator. To be honest, even a person without education can get a job in this position. However, some graduates prefer this particular place. Depending on the activities of the company, you will simply have to give advice or sell some product or service. And get paid for this. In truth, not a very dusty job that brings in an average income.
Only information systems and technologies, the specialty that this direction of study gives, is not an easy thing and requires labor. And to study there, then to work as the most ordinary operator on the phone, is stupid. After all, as already mentioned, this position can be occupied even by a person without higher education... Increasingly, schoolchildren from the age of 14 start working as telephone operators. Hence the conclusion follows - a complete lack of career growth. Thus, you have to look for alternative places to build your own career. Especially if you are young and ambitious
Manager
Have you decided to graduate from the specialty "Information systems and technologies"? Who to work after graduation - this is what should worry you even when you enter a university. The point is that, as has already been repeatedly noted, affects the success and popularity of the direction. Everything seems to be in order with our today. Only now, finding a job is actually a very difficult task.
Therefore, many simply prefer to find a job "where they will take it." And a very common vacancy is "sales manager". For this career, you do not have to learn the code of the specialty "Information Systems and Technologies", study there for a long time, defend a diploma, and so on. It's just enough to come to the employer and show your desire to work. Occasionally, this vacancy requires the presence of at least some kind of diploma.
Career growth is sometimes present here, but not particularly great. The opening hours are usually quite flexible. And wages are kept at an average level. Plus, working as a sales manager gives at least some guarantees for stability. This is exactly what young graduates need. Stability is the key to great success in almost any career. But there is one drawback here - it is huge competition. There are a lot of sales managers now. So, if this career suits you, hurry up to find yourself the most prestigious place to work.
Individual entrepreneur
The next scenario is the path individual entrepreneur... This "vacancy" (if you can call it that) is available, in principle, to everyone. You just need to come up with an idea for your own business, and then implement it.
So many graduates of different specialties and directions work as individual entrepreneurs. Why? All thanks to freedom of action - your career will entirely depend only on your own aspirations and successes. In the same way as your own earnings. How much you have earned - you got so much.
And it doesn't matter who you are - a philologist, physicist, manager, economist or programmer. The main thing is that you have ideas. The most popular occupation here is bookkeeping, opening small shops, as well as beauty salons or gyms. What people need so much.
Writing texts
Have you graduated with a degree in Information Systems and Technologies? What to work on in terms of graduation? If you are not yet ready to work for a penny or build your own business, then it's time to try yourself as ... a freelancer. More precisely, we are talking about copywriters and rewriters.
What is the job? In writing texts to order. With regard to IT technologies, now you can find quite a lot of different orders. They are paid decently (from 50 rubles for 1,000 characters without spaces), and the work schedule is usually chosen by the copywriter personally. You can place orders in the morning in a few hours, and then have a rest all day, or you can "stretch" them for a long time. As a place of work, you can choose different freelance exchanges. They will help you find customers, and permanent ones. And this is a real guarantor of a stable income.
Writer
The next job you can offer is writing. Don't confuse it with copywriting or rewriting. Indeed, in the first case, you need to write books and literature, and in the second - the most ordinary, short (and sometimes not so) texts.
In truth, only a small number of graduates of the Information Systems and Technology specialty choose the path of writing. After all, as a rule, any person can also do it. Even without education. All that is required of you is time and imagination. Naturally, if you have a “good idea,” you can start writing different methodologies, as well as specialized literature that will help students. Only this, again, is an extremely rare occurrence.
Usually they become writers in conjunction with some other work. After all, the written books do not immediately generate income. And money is always needed. Therefore, can you try to write a story in your free time or did it work? Then you can continue on.
Office Manager
Also, any graduate can work as an office manager. This vacancy is popular among young girls. Regardless of the direction they have completed, they are eagerly going to work in the office until they have found a more prestigious place for themselves.
As a rule, office managers do office work and "contact" important papers of the firm. Only in practice, such workers usually sit at the computer, process information and play games while their superiors do not see. Earnings here are low for men, but average (sometimes high) for women. The work schedule is stable. This is what attracts young professionals.
System Administrator
Of course, such a vacancy as a system administrator cannot be ignored. To tell the truth, "Information systems and technologies" is a specialty that assumes this position as one of the major ones. Working as a sysadmin is considered quite prestigious. Especially if you know your business for sure.
The system administrator's work schedule is flexible. Plus, there are career prospects. Also, graduates are attracted by salaries. On average, wages are about 15-20 thousand rubles per month. And all this is combined with a flexible work schedule, as well as fairly simple tasks and a little responsibility. What else do you need for a successful career?
Alternatives
In fact, if you have a degree in information systems and technology, then almost any job is open to you. Except for the kindergarten teacher and the doctor. Therefore, students often start building their careers while they are still studying.
In addition to system administration, graduates choose areas of programming, 3d design and information processing on a computer. In other words, all vacancies that are somehow related to the PC will fit. The main thing is to carefully choose a place to work and pay attention to the necessary tasks to be performed in the workplace.
