Hello Experts,

I am Master of Computer Application (MCA) 2009 pass-out now am working in small firm(software solution) as a  Business development Executive.so, my question  is it's good for me to do and can i mention this experience in my profile in future,If i want go for any other stream like software,networking etc... and MCA degree is qualified for this job or not?And how much growth in this field? please revert me with your feedback!!!!

Answer
Hi Hussain,

Certainly, if you want to head for work in software, networking, etc. it would seem wise to mention your MCA diploma in your profile in the future.  Since I'm not familiar with the details of your particular Master of Computer Application program, I'm not in a good position to answer for certain whether it qualifies you for those jobs or not but it seems like a good start!  

Computers are a huge part of our everyday lives so it stands to reason that even though the "high tech" bubble has burst in some regions, there will still be jobs in the future for people with technical skills.  Your local country should have statistics on job futures and growth potential in various fields (check government docs and websites).

Good luck!

Christine

Expertise

I have been a career counsellor at a top Canadian university since 1998. I can answer questions about career direction, new graduate and summer employment, resumes, cover letters, personal statements, interviews, and references. I can also answer many questions about applying to graduate school or meds, law or teaching. I can't answer specific questions about what you need to fulfill your degree requirements or some very detailed questions about pre-requisites for particular programs, however, I will give you some ideas about where to find that information.

Experience

As a career counsellor at a top Canadian university since 1998, I have assisted thousands of students (from first-year through to MBA and PhD) clarify their career options and learn how to navigate the transition from school to work or furthr education. I have worked with students in diverse disciplines, from Art History to Philosophy to Chemical Engineering to Biochemistry. I have experience from the recruiting side of the table which informs my advice and I have worked in industries such as education, social services, law, engineering and medicine. I am a qualified Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) facilitator, helping people understand the part that their personality preferences may play in their career choices. I am the author of a "chick lit"-style career book for women called, "Career Cupid: Your Guide to Landing and Loving Your Dream Job". More information at www.careercupid.com
