The Digital Archer: I.T. Job Recruitment Analysis

INTRICT Diaries - Week 2

As another assignment on our INTRICT, we were told to find 25 IT job postings. We should know what are the technical skills, non-technical skills, and responsibilities that companies expect from an IT Professional. Here are graphs that show the most demanded technical skills and other traits, the y-axis on the graph shows the number of companies (25 companies) who favor the current trait. (The items on the graph are only those that are mostly chosen by the companies so the topic would not be too broad):

1. Technical Graph:

The graph shows that more companies look for those with good skills with SQL then next is both Visual Basic and UNIX
The fewest was both COBOL and Java. Geez! Why bother teaching us Java then? :))

2. Other Traits Graph:

This the graph that shows both the responsibilities and the non-technical skills.
The most dominant trait companies are looking for is being able to speak and write English well
What lands on the second most searched trait is becoming willing to work anywhere or willing to travel to any place. Of course the travel has to bee work related! hahaha
Analytical thinking and being able to adjust with the work schedule both come in at third place. The person must know how to analyze and think of a way to solve a problem. He must also be able to adjust whenever his work schedule has to be changed, especially in terms of having a night shift.
