This book far exceeded my expectations. Clear, concise information on on what you need to know if you are looking for a job in IT. Also, several suggestions for resources (text and on-line) that are very useful.
Rating: 5 / 5
A career in IT (if you want to be successful) requires a great deal of your personal time to study new technologies, or even a new programming language (or even a new version of programming language). I have worked with a lot of entry level IT individuals and the drop-out rate is far more than any other position in our company (retail/distributor). I think I understand why these people are failing and returning to their old careers. That is because they have dreamt of landing the entry-level Administrator, or web developer role from the get go. In the IT community there is a great deal of Mentor/Student relationships in companies. A lot of entry-level people are not willing to take direction from individuals that may be many years younger than them, or they have no college education. The few entry-level individuals that have survived and thrived came into the company with a willing to learn, take direction, and honesty with their expectations. In addition, they studied when they went home and took a REAL personal interest in the details of their job. After a few years on mentoring they were more than ready for administration.

Out of date, old. Good if all you want is a discussion of the certification process. I highly recommend Ian K. Fisher’s “How to Start a Career in Information Technology”.
