Peer Response:
Identify specific career opportunities in IT that appeal to you.
The career opportunity that appeals to me, is the Network Specialist as well as Engineer. The elevator industry is rapidly advancing technologically. There are control systems that are now being installed that are microprocessor based and are internet enabled. Remote monitoring and universal connectivity are coming. It is currently in infancy, but with the speed in which advancements are made, it could be fully implemented before we are ready. Currently at work we use a TechTool, an iPhone with corporate applications, to account for time management, service call and procedural maintenance, logistics, tech manuals, and connectivity to company proprietary equipment. There is no universal interface between the various manufacturers, due to intellectual property laws.

Our IT department regularly updates the apps and sends email announcing the updates. The wording of the emails are presented in the same manner as our course instructed. The milestone client debrief is essentially what the email does. Clear, concise wording using substantiated facts. This really connected some missing links for me.

IT is such a wide field and there are such a large number of choices for careers. In spite of the fact that networking, programming, and web design do appeal to me, my interests lie more in the database side of the IT domain. This course just further fortified my enthusiasm for database work. Working with Microsoft Access aided me to comprehend databases more.
