How Fresh graduates fm Computer science can start the career in IT industry ?

Right now it depends,

Do you want to make a crap load of money or do you want a piece of mind working somewhere. Just kidding. Right now the IT industry is kind of a skunk.

Ten years ago it was a high reward (awesome money), high risk (deadlines and projects) kind of job.

Nowadays it's a low reward (no money), high risk (deadlines, layoffs, projects).

So unless you want to make $10 -$12 an hour for five years working in the corner chop shop don't bother. The guys in my shop are more than disappointed with IT, some have quit and become truck drivers. Other's have quit and gone to work at Home Depot because they don't have to deal with computer hassles and the customers tied to the computer. If they are young enough I hook them up with a plumber or an electrician so they can start their trade apprenticeship. I'm not kidding about this either.

All of my guys have Computer Science and Computer Engineering Degrees incidentally. I get them to take the certifications (A+, MCSE, RedHat) on my dime and they hate it. They didn't realise they were studying for an exam every month and going on course after hours. But that's what IT requires, continual training.

If you want a career that is rewarding, become a nurse. There is good money and nursing homes are hiring like crazy. The future is old people dying in nursing homes and hospitals, not computers.

Many of us (back in the day - circa 1980 and 1990) got our start with contracting companies / temp agencies. I suspect that is still a good method.

I acutally used Heald to get my degree. They have a placement office and free placement assistance for lifetime. That office was of no value to me initially. I got much better jobs on my own. However, I was forced out of the market in 2000 (family and health problems) and have tried to re-enter for the last 4 years. Becuase my education and experience were all gathered prior to the last six months, nobody's really interested in hiring me for contracts, and the job market is too tight as well.

I am going back to Heald's placement office. My local office is willing to help, but an office in another state is actually eager to get me to their area, they think they can have me working in very short order.

So, moral of the story: try companies, many have programs to hire fresh graduates, try contracting agencies, try your school's placement office - the companies with those programs will be on campus for career days / job fairs, try changing geography, try staying in touch with other graduates - they may be aware of openings in the company they just started with. One of those strategies WILL work.

Live long, and PROSPER in your new field...

If you are from Singapore, I am regret to tell you that many fresh graduates from computer science are losing their job to foreigners from India, China, Philiphine and etc...You can try sending in many application, but don't be disappointed if you are not getting any respond for 100 application sent.

Send out your resume to many companies, one may hire you. Otherwise, start your own business. That's what I did. It works.
