Blog Post: Hey Techies…Did you ever think…Your Next IT Job Will Be In Healthcare!

I read an article today that I saw posted by a fellow colleague on linkedin. The link is below.

This is a very useful article, because if you were trying to decide on a career or transition into a specific industry with your IT skills, this may be a good choice.

The article continued…

A recent survey by IT staffing firm Robert Half Technology of 244 healthcare CIOs found fourth quarter hiring plans include the following skills:

·  Network administration (76%)

·  Desktop support (72%)

·  Windows administration (61%)

·  Wireless network management (55%)

·  Database management (54%)

·  Telecommunications support (49%)

·  Web development/design (30%)

·  Virtualization (35%)

·  Business intelligence/reporting services (32%)

·  ERP implementation (26%)

So, remember, that the competition is fierce and you need to have all the skills/certifications they are looking for in addition to accomplishments on what you have done and what you have to offer. Make sure they are clearly stated on your resume.

Well, have a productive job search day!
