As a recent graduate of a two year technical school, (Computer Communications/Networks), I am beginning to have doubts concerning the direction I have taken. I enrolled in the program because of a plant shutdown that took my job of 12 years. Computer training, at the time, seemed a natural choice because I have always been very technically adept, and have enjoyed and understood computer technologies. But now I am starting to realize that my greatest assets and strengths are people and communication skills. Even though at one time I thought I was very bright technology-wise, 3 months as a Network intern has shown me that I lag far behind. My co-workers are all true “techies”; more comfortable around the machines than they are the people whouse them. I am the opposite. I understand the need for technology as a tool for business, but also know that business is built around people, not technology. So I guess the input I hope to solicit is your thoughts and ideas on where within the IT sector is the need for people skills more in demand than technical skills? And how best to parlay 2 yrs of technical training into that position? From the IT Managers out there, would you actively pursue someone with limited tech skills if they had very impressive people skills? Sorry for rambling, but would really like reader input.
