[AusNOG] Off Topic - Brisbane recruitment recommendations

[Jason Mikronis]

I can assure you, if you have staff who are prepared to learn _anything_ because its good for business and for their own learnings, then you will generate the customer demand from your own staff.

Your IT people are good at making solutions - combine that with some "brainstorming" with your client and once they find out you can do "X" or "Y", they will be a "solution sale".

That's part of the point Chad - to have skills which cross different areas because there is usually a business need to speak to someone who "understands things from different angles".

I, and I suspect most longer term IT&T/ICT people, end up learning a bunch of different scripting languages, end up running a bunch of different systems, end up interoperating with different networks - eventually have to build and program those too - and if they still are in the industry, research and test (self-R&D) new concepts, services and features - like Cloud & IOT.

Being adaptable is key in this industry, and if you are able to continually learn new things with an open mind, then it is only time before you end up with a shopping list of major skills like described.




Hi Jason.
I get what your saying.
I think a lot of this stuff comes down to customer demand as well, as in you need to be constantly learning new technologies as the needs of clients change.
Regards Chad.
