52% want more IT professionals

ISACA surveyed more than 95,000 professionals and revealed that more than half (52%) of the surveyed stated that their organisations do not have enough IT professionals. 44% of the executives teams in US intend to expand their IT related investment.

This means more job opportunities for IT professionals, but Tim Weinman, president of The Weinman Group feels that companies are now looking for more skilled personnel, along with other skills. He says, “In addition to strong educational credentials and certifications, companies are also seeking individuals with tangible accomplishments, a history of adding value and a passion for and dedication to the profession. If you cannot clearly articulate the value you (and your projects) bring to an organisation, you could be vulnerable over the long haul.”
