    3 Ways to Advance in Your IT Infrastructure Job

    By Anistar Technologies | Careers, Employee Resources, Technology | Comments are Closed | 4 December, 2018 | 1

    IT infrastructure professionals are vital components of any organization, no matter how large or small it is. However, after a few years of working at the same job, you may feel the desire to advance and take on more responsibilities. With the competition level so high in the IT industry as a whole, advancing means you have to offer a unique value that stands out among the rest of the professionals in your industry. All it takes is a little extra work on your own time and understanding your value and you’ll be well on your way to advancing as much as you desire. Here are three tips to help you get on track.

    Get The Right Certifications

    There are plenty of IT certification courses you can take, depending on your interests. These certifications can put you on track for various IT security jobs, or even cyber security opportunities. Hiring managers find certifications to be extremely valuable, so if you’re applying for a new position at a different company, it’s highly recommended to get a certification or two before doing so. But if you wish to remain at your current company, talk with your boss or manager about what certifications would best suit you for advancing from within.

    Stay Ahead In The Industry Through Hands-On Work

    Every IT infrastructure professional must be completely in-the-know when it comes to the latest trends and technologies in the industry. Keep up with the news however you want to, but the only way you’ll advance is by staying informed. You could also work on your own hands-on projects on your own time. Working on different projects at home that you can’t do on company time can allow you to be creative and experiment with different technologies. You never know what you’ll find that could be valuable for your company. And simply demonstrating this desire to enhance your knowledge at home may be enough for a manager to notice your work ethic and promote you.

    Don’t Forget About Your Soft Skills

    It’s easy to get caught up in only enhancing your technical skills. All IT security jobs require a certain level of technical expertise, but your soft skills can also help you stand out. Show great leadership traits whenever you can, always be personable and approachable, be very attentive to details and never be afraid go out of your way to help others on any given project. These soft skills are unique, and can help advance your career to the next level if you highlight them consistently.

    Anistar Technologies knows what companies are looking for when it comes to IT infrastructure professionals. This is one of the main reasons why we are able to help candidates find the perfect jobs that fit their skill sets, and why employers trust us to fit them with the right professionals. Whether you’re looking for a new job or want to take your career to the next level at your current company, contact us to see how we can be of assistance.
