My name is Ruth Byrd. I would like to take this opportunity to convey the meaningful connections between my professional past and the skills that I acquired from the Global IT training experience. Too often we progress through the ‘ropes of life’ and do not invest the time to express our gratitude and authentic value for the support that is so eagerly shared for our growth, as not only students, but also as global citizens of society. I am grateful for the investment that was made into my life by the staff of Global Information Technology. The Global IT staff made me feel authentically supported when someone would say, “Please let me know how I can be helpful” and genuinely mean it. I learned so much while at Global IT that prepared me for my current position. I look back on that time as so important in the development of the person that I am today. I have learned not only “to make better software but to make software better”.
Explaining long career gaps like mine (9 years) is difficult. So, I focused my attention on retooling, in June 2013, I began the intensive Global IT Oracle DBA program to enhance and modernize my skills. My job search in the down turned economy, even with my demonstrated experience and expertise without additional current credentials, was almost pointless. But the Global IT staff was always patient, took the time to listen and helped me to navigate the job market. All of the encouragement and endless career support have not been in vain. I am currently working as a Business Analyst in a Fortune 100 Automotive Manufacturer where I am directly supporting the goal and am helping to move the long-range vision for the organization forward.

It is with great enthusiasm that I write a recommendation for Global Information Technology for the MCTS 70-431- SQL Server 2005 course. In that time, I have had the opportunity to receive a thorough understanding of writing SQL statements, stored procedures, triggers, functions and views. Other topics that were very helpful were database design, replication, [...] Read more
