Working in IT

IT is a massive industry and is growing day by day. With technology advancing every day, there is always a call for more IT staff. Many companies are switching from paper systems to computer based systems and the ones that already had this are now going toward cloud software.

If you are looking for a job in the IT sector you will need to have a good general knowledge of PC’s and how they work. Depending on what area you want to go in to you may need experience or additional qualifications.

Most companies have some sort of IT department or IT staff so you can often get in to an IT role within another industry. Rates of pay vary drastically depending on what job role you apply for. Full time Entry/Junior positions can start from around £13 -£18K per year DOE, whereas head of IT departments and senior developers can easily earn upwards of one hundred thousand pounds.
