At its broadest definition, information technology is an umbrella term that describes all fields that relate to the organization and dissemination of information: from the worker who lays cable wires to the telephone switchboard operator to the engineer who designs the circuits in your computer. However, keep in mind that just because IT is computer-related, it doesnt mean that a job in the field is necessarily with a computer-intensive company. In fact, the majority of the IT services jobs today are in fields that have little to do with high tech. What this means for you, the job seeker, is that opportunities are not limited to one industry but cross a wide variety of industries. Interested in taking on an IT role? Learn more by reading this brand new guide. In it, you will find: Where the opportunities for entry are across various industries, from education to health care and the Internet What kind of skills and education are required to get hired What types of jobs you may want to consider, including creative, sales/marketing, support, and engineering positions What life is like as a UI designer, IT consultant, or engineer How to get in the door, and then put your best foot forward during your interviews More!

The WetFeet Research Methodology
You hold in your hands a copy of the best-quality research available for job seekers. We have designed this Insider Guide to save you time doing your job research and to provide you with highly accurate information written precisely for the needs of the job-seeking public. (We also hope that you'll enjoy reading the Insider, because, believe it or not, the job search doesn't have to be a pain in the neck.)
Each WetFeet Insider Guide represents hundreds of hours of careful research and writing. We start with a review of the public information available. (Our writers are also experts in reading between the lines.) We augment this information with dozens of in-depth interviews of people who actually work for each company or industry we cover. And, although we keep the identity of the rank-and-file employees anonymous to encourage candor, we also interview the company's recruiting staff extensively, to make sure that we give you, the reader, accurate information about recruiting, process, compensation, hiring targets, and so on. (WetFeet retains all editorial control of the product.) We also regularly survey our members and customers to learn about their experiences in the recruiting process. Finally, each Insider Guide goes through an editorial review and fact-checking process to make sure that the information and writing live up to our exacting standards before it goes out the door.
Are we perfect? Nobut we do believe that you'll find our content to be the highest-quality content of its type available on the Web or in print. (Please see our guarantee below.) We also are eager to hear about your experiences on the recruiting front, and your feedback (both positive and negative) about our products and our process. Thank you for your interest.

Information Technology at a Glance
Opportunity Overview

> The majority of IT workers work for non-IT companies. Job opportunities exist in every industry, from the U.S. government, to the Red Cross, to the bank down the street.

> Paid internships and co-op positions are available at larger companies, but are reserved mostly for engineering students and MBA candidates; most can lead to permanent, full-time positions.

> Specialized recruiting and placement firms assist midcareer candidates in finding new positions. Almost all companies recruit directly through their websites.

> Many positions are available on a contract or part-time basis. Some contracts lead to full-time permanent employment after three months to one year. Other contracts are for specific projects and end when the project is done.

Major Pluses about IT Careers

> Information technologists tend to be well compensated. In 2000, IT producing industries paid workers an average of $73,800, more than twice the average private industry wage of $35,000.

> Continuing education is encouraged and is usually subsidized by the employer.

> Non-traditional work arrangements such as telecommuting and tele-working create a flexible work environment.

> IT professionals work in a dynamic and challenging environment. Learning new skills is part of the job.
