Mentorship - that's the word. Perhaps we could look at how seasoned IT professionals could use the blog or other channel to guide the young ones in the industry in such matters as these. I think it'd be a plus to all, not just the industry entrants or if ya'll will allow me, n00bz :-) That's just a suggestion. P.S. I don't mean to run away from responsibility, but I don't consider myself a 'seasoned' IT professional yet :-) On 12/10/2010, Lawrence Kago <lawrencekago@gmail.com> wrote:
Wothout discouraging her she needs an internship with a good mentor...all of us we're not any far much better than her at some point in our careers. Besides i think this is not an interview thread(If it were,too bad...may would have dropped her),let her be pls & hook her up with a placement if u can! [?]

I try to be as encouraging as i can at all times but this doesnt mean i dont tell you the truth. Rachel, with that kind of careless writing and phrasing of your statements, i wouldnt be ready to pay you to do anything. How you present yourself tells all about how you do your work - no, dont even show us one of the websites you have done.You have to impress whoever you are targeting - where is your CV/cover letter. Diploma in IT from JKUAT? Am an alumni of that campus and i can tell you mko wengi so package yourself well. In this field affirmative action is only implemented if you match up in skills and personality. Point 2 - In IT related careers the worst you can say about yourself is 'i can do anything in IT'. Pick a field you love and strengthen your skills there - then the jobs will follow you :) All the best in your job search.

Guess skunkworks is informal; and by saying 'any' it may mean she is a beginner and willing to start on any line of IT work
Me thots; though as you said; a little elaboration would go a long way.
What job would you give her?
