Essential skills to start a career in IT

 Know how to work in a team - It is recommended to have the desire to work with other people and to know that this action can create a successful team. The professional must always have the intention of adding value to the sector where he works. "It seems simple, but the world is very competitive. Not all professionals have these characteristics. It is similar to what happens in a football team where everyone tries their best to be the winner," says Eduardo Pellegrina, human resources director of Itautec.


Study further - According to Pellegrina, the IT area has an educational crisis. "Study hard, be diligent and do your best to stand out in the area. Companies want to hire professionals who constantly update their knowledge", he says. The HR director says that practically everyone who graduates in IT is hired by companies, but the market only retains those who have good qualifications, such as ample wisdom on various subjects, the ability to work in teams and up-to-date knowledge.


Be self - taught - The professional who wants to work with IT cannot just depend on courses to recycle knowledge in the field. The technologies appear at all times and the professional will be at a disadvantage if they resort only to extensive teaching methods. This does not mean that training is not necessary, but the professional needs to know more quickly the market news, changes in programming languages ​​and product launches ", says Marcelo Abrileri, who has worked with HR for over 18 years, is a partner founder and CEO of the job site Curriculum.com.br and Talenti, a company for recruiting, selecting and headhunting IT professionals.The CEO reminds that books are indispensable and that it is not only on the internet that the person can find content that complements the studies.


Discover other languages - "Speaking a second language is always good. The world is global and companies have customers in several countries. In addition, most of the study material is not in Portuguese", comments the director of Itautec. Abrileri says that "Brazil is not at the forefront of technology and for this reason I recommend that the professional speak other languages, especially English. With that, the person will be able to search for several international IT news sources".

The professionals will examine and evaluate security strategies and defenses. It is the responsibility of the Cyber Security Specialist to create new defensive systems and protocols.

Be curious - Those interested in starting a career in IT need to keep "children's curiosity" active. According to Pellegrina, it is she who will take the professional to update their knowledge. "Whoever deals with IT must know what is new in the area.
