What is ITJob.Coach?

A day into the New Year of 2021, I decided to launch the ITJob.Coach site. Why did I do this? I was seeing a lot of people in my Facebook channels and other groups trying to get into IT, whether they are new students, or someone in existing careers, trying to do something different or make a better life for themselves and their family.

From what I can, the problem are focused on 3 areas:

• Don’t have confidence and don’t know how to get it.
• Don’t know where to start. Advice is coming from reliable/unreliable sources and they don’t know why something that works for one person doesn’t work for another.
• Upset and frustrated, as they are feeling they are left behind.

My heart goes out to you! I’m decided to take time out of my life, and some money to fund these sites to try to give you some education/information from myself and my network to help you understand and grow your IT career. I’ve always believed in paying it forward, and I’ve been very lucky in my life to have many good things happen to me. I donate to charities all the time, however, this site will go above and beyond what I normally give out.

Where my advice comes from:

• My experience from my 20+ years in IT, my experiences of moving up the ladder, working different roles, and my life lessons
• Being a Mentor and a leader in IT, allowing you access to information I wish I had when I started in IT
• My rich network of contacts from my friends and relationships I have made over the years

I sincerely hope the content here will help you, and I wish you an awesome IT career in a super exciting industry! All the best!
