Our corporate clients look for JMOs to enter their IT areas for two reasons: their professional IT skills, as well as their leadership talent. Most of our clients look for JMOs to be future leaders within their organization; however, you will usually begin as an individual contributor on a technical team. The most common roles we place JMOs into include:

Software Development (Software Engineer) - The programming languages that we get the most demand for are C++ and JAVA.

Applications Development - This refers to developing applications on some sort of software “shell” (i.e. can be customized). Particular experience in Oracle, SAP, HTML, JavaScript, PERL, Cold Fusion, and others is in high demand.

Network Engineering Architecture and Operations - Network design, implementation, and configuration in either Microsoft NT or UNIX based operating systems. Network engineers will be responsible for installing and configuring routers, hubs, and switches (CISCO, Nortel, 3COM,) and possibly ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Method) devices. They will also be knowledgeable in Internet Protocols (IP) and Router Protocols.

Network Security - Experts in configuring firewalls, performing intrusion detection testing, and setting security plans and procedures. These are the people that respond to hacker and virus situations. They do Computer Forensics, which means figuring out how people got in, plugging the hole, and tracking down the villain. CERT experience (Computer Emergency Response Team) is a plus.

Your future growth with information technology would be into increasingly larger project management and general management roles with an ultimate goal of becoming a company’s Chief Information Officer (CIO).
