May 7, 2010, Newsletter Issue #39: IT Contract Jobs Offer Skill Building Opportunities

Tip of the Week

The world of information technology is constantly evolving. It seems as though every day there are new tools and technologies being announced. Faced with this phenomenon, it can be extremely difficult for IT personnel to keep their skills up to date. For this reason in particular, many top-notch tech professionals actually choose to take IT contract jobs rather than permanent jobs. Working through a staff augmentation company, IT pros can land a variety of contract employment positions where they are able to gain hands on experience with the latest methodologies in a wide range of industry settings. These provide valuable resume building experience that increase their earning potential. In fact, an American Staffing Association survey found that eighty eight percent of respondents said that their experience working in IT contract jobs actually made them more employable. Most found that by working a series of IT contract jobs they were able to expand their core skills more than they would if they had been employed in a permanent IT job.
