"We filled the vacancy the next day"
Research your career change before making a choice
Those weighing up a possible move into a career in IT should be sure to do their research first, according to the Recruitment Society.
Many people have a change of heart when it comes to the job they want to do, and although many IT jobs require relevant qualifications and experience, there are some skills from other industries that will be transferable.
In addition, it is possible to acquire entry level roles that will allow you to pick up the necessary tools for the trade as you go along.
However, Steve Huxham, chairman of the Recruitment Society, suggested that anyone considering a career change should read up on their industry of choice before commencing their job hunt.
He noted that there are shortages in some industry sectors and highly-motivated and eager individuals will always appeal to employers.
Thuy Sindell, co-author of The End of Work as You Know It, told ComputerWorld.com that the top candidates for IT roles require more than just a glowing CV, with an enthusiasm to develop being just as valuable.
