AM I AN IT PROFESSIONAL?

" The power to believe in your self will become the power to change your faith"

Before we go deeper into being who Am I and where do I belong? let me define first to you Who is the IT professional?

For the purpose of this discourse, the key areas are those that relate to the Attitude, Skill and Knowledge of the IT professional. Interestingly these are the same areas of change that training focuses on. Training seeks to close or fill any gaps that an individual has in these areas. However, it must be noted that simply going for training programs does not make one a true and complete professional.
Are you meeting Expectations
To be a competent IT professional, you must know what the expectations of your colleagues, your industry, your clients and the general public are. Meeting these expectations is what qualifies you to call yourself a professional, and what gives you recognition as a professional.In today's world the role of the IT professional is crucial. IT has become an essential resource for most organizations. The evolving scenario is one of a growing complexity of computer systems and businesses dependence on them. Qualified and competent IT professionals are needed to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of computers.
The Diverse Nature of IT
Professionals work in areas such as Programming, Engineering, Database Administration, Networking, Web development and E-Commerce.IT professionals create, operate, maintain and program computers. An IT professional must have the skills and knowledge required to carry out specialized tasks in a recognized field of IT. This is the minimum requirement. But IT skills demand far outstrips supply. Current IT skills shortage worldwide is enormous.

Well....... as I evaluate my self, I can say that I belong to the world of an IT Professional, not only because I've finished my degree of Bacherlor of Science in Computer Science but because I know and I can manipulate those electronic communications/devices...and as of now I am practicing my expertise in academe as an instructor in CS subject, I attended seminars and I passed the TESDA assessment ...............so as an IT professional it is very important also to upgrade my knowledge about IT, because its just like a PC that inorder to work it fast it needs to upgrade the memory....hmmm....that is why I am still enrolling masteral degree inorder to learn...deepen...amplify my knowledge about IT, especially that we are now in the said computer world.
