Due to the massive recession in IT industry at the moment, you might be worried about your job security, or probably searching for a good one. So the million dollar question today is what kind of options one should look out for?
Well, the answer depends upon the type of industry you’re currently working in. If you’re into website designing, you must learn dynamic programming, and master the art of creating XHTML, Web 2.0 complaint websites, which can handle good client side validation. AJAX and the latest technologies like Ruby-on-Rails etc are getting popular day by day, so you can’t simply fancy surviving with basic HTML/CSS/PSD designs in this competitive world.
If you are into ERP and Oracle Apps, you should think about shifting to Fusion & ADF Framework. Getting certifications in the latest domains is a good idea, and keeping yourself up-to-date with the latest technological happenings will surely give you better security in life. J2EE and J2ME are also very popular platforms these days, and gone are the days of primitive C programming. Therefore, it is essential that you put in your efforts to learn dynamic programming as well as the latest frameworks in the industry.
Additionally, you may also consider the option of running your own private e-commerce business, as it doesn’t involve considerable investment unlike the traditional businesses. You can stick on to the current job, but also work out your personal online business sideways. After all, if you already know how to build websites, all you need is to put in some good content, and you’re bound to get good hits from search engines. As your website or blog becomes famous over the internet, you can make handsome money in form of advertisements.
So it’s time to change, and make a move pretty quickly, otherwise you will get outdated and become obsolete within no time.
