I have a SOHO with a number of clients, but feel i need experience in a corporate environment to develop my career and meet bigger players. I’ve engaged in Wide Area Network projects and Broabdand Internet Provision as well of a host of other ICT Services with my small company but we only deal with individuals or other small companies or government institutions. All with very little paper work or organisation needed. I feel to really develop my career i need to work in a fairly large coporation to get a sense of corporate business and build on that so that after a couple years of work, i can use the experienced gain to continue my own business and probably with much larger szied clients.
I dont even mind starting from the bottom. I belive my past exprience will put me (in time) in a position of more responsiblity.
Also i dont have any certfification mainly bcos i never really needed it. All my present clients i got to know from other clients so there’s really no need to prove my compentency. Verubody just knows i’m good at what i do. but if i go through with ICT job searching (which i have already started a little) i dont think all my experience will be taken serious without any certification.
So the question is, should i look for a corporate job and b’cos of it get certification with an aim of building myself career wise; or should i forget about all that and concentrate on my SOHO maybe i could make it big one day? Thanks
