Technology continues to advance at a remarkable pace and we rely on it more than ever, especially when it comes to staying in touch with our friends and family or consuming the latest news in real-time on our computers, tablets or smartphones. In order to maintain this level of activity, we need the skills of Information Technology (IT) professionals to make it possible. These individuals typically serve as full-time IT staff members within an organization or outsourced as IT contractors.
In the past, individuals would search for their dream job with the intention of staying with the company their entire career, and simply advancing their way up the corporate ladder. But a new generation of workers (millennials) has no desire to stay in a company for 10-20 years. They would rather “job-hop” and gain more experience serving in a variety of roles at several companies.
