Creating new skillset = Destroying one career n opportunity

Hi,

I am again with one more IT HR/Policy issue...

Now-a-days IT have became a skillset-junk..

And whatever learnt in Collages and certification is not really used in all times.

For Example.

Java & .NET are say two technologies leading the world.

The Engineers is very talented and have won many national and state level competions using above technologies, while engineering.

What is his/her dream? to be Developer?

Right?

But does anyone knows once they are purchased from Campus what is they are going to do?

You will not believe, this small childs does not know, so without their knowledge they are thrown to some projects.

say they got 30 peoples from some college for Java

Now how they are allocated?

not based on their skillset ?

The exams and papers are just formalities.

OK, first 10 go to Oracle

Next 10 go to Java

Next 10 go to xyz

Now what happens after this?

They are trained (foreced) to learn the other skills which are very rare in world.

And I know many freshers who are just doing jobs like server admin, or job monitoring etc.?

Is that they aimed? not really?

The reality is  that the skills used in today's market are more then trained in our industry.

for example the DBA,Server Admin,Support teams and Developers are not same.

So if you are fresher, you even dont understand what role you are given.

It takes half or a year to understand, what happened with you?

Now e.g. you were asked to work on a programming language called "ADA", which is not common in day to day life.

After 2 years when you are searching for new job, Now its all your luck.

coz, now people or companies purchasing experienced person will expect exact skillset.

Now whole two years you worked on some alien country project with some unknown platform and language.

So your market value is rather very high or nothing.

And on other hand person working on common technologies like .NET or Java.

Finding a job is just a right click!

Now who chose this rare skillset?

Is that you? no

Right? then how can you allow, some one to decide, that you do Oracle, you do 4D, you do Pythone

Whatever, I dont say all skill are useless.

But what it adds to your resume?

Nothing!

That is the issue

After 8yrs you will be white elephant

usefull to company, if they have project for your skill, but skill is useless as it does not get you the job you want.

I think this is not proper platform to share such technical knowledge not directly related with legal professionals.

yes i do agree with mr. makkad. this is not a appropriate forum for raising such issues although there is a huge substance in it.
