I was in the legal field for over 20 years (Secretary promoted to Paralegal). After being laid off from my last position, I decided I needed a change. I had used databases as a front end user during my legal field and was really interested in learning more. My passion for computers and database interest pushed me further to explore my career options in the Information Technology field.
So, I came to Global Information Technology and spoke with a career advisor. When I visited Global Information Technology, I was so impressed with the facilities, the equipment, the instructors and teaching mythology, that I joined Global Information Technology by using my own money to pay for my courses. I enrolled in Web Pro (HTML, JavaScript, Dreamweaver and Flash) and MS Office 2003 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook). I loved learning MS Access, which is Microsoft’s database. Since Global Information Technology was an Oracle Workforce Development training facility, I then took Linux+; since Oracle is mostly based on a Linux+ environment. This gave me knowledge and exposure so that I could enroll in the class I wanted: Oracle 10g Database Administrator course. I enjoyed Oracle so much that I actually excelled in it and was able to become an Oracle Certified Professional in 10g and 11g. I was very lucky that I was offered a job at Global Information Technology as Student Services Manger and it was during this job that I received support and advice. This just added to my thirst for knowledge in IT. Some advice I want to give to those looking for a career change is to believe in yourself and find a partner with experts who know the subject matter you wish to learn. Global Information Technology is a school of true subject matter experts in the realm of IT and I am glad that I chose Global Information Technology as my partner!
Now, I have accepted a job as a Junior Oracle DBA and finally my dreams have come true. I am an Oracle DBA.
Thank you to Global Information Technology for helping me change my career from paralegal to IT professional. I recommend Global Information Technology to those who are looking for a career change in IT!
