Technology Consulting Career Potentials

Technology Consulting is not only about the technical aspects but also about researches in the consulting industry. A good technical consultant should always be aware of the general business strategies that are in trend in the IT industry. There are various IT firms, some are very large organizations, others may be medium or small, some may specialize in particular activities such as testing, integration, software development etc. Make sure you have knowledge of the key players of each field, so you can feel realities of the consulting life.

In the field of technology consulting, most of the times you need to work away from home as projects are client based. As a consulting professional, your most of the work will be at the client's site with their team, but you will also be involved in the discussions with your own firm too. Meetings and discussions with other technology consultants of your own firm, who are also working for other clients, will make you aware of the present market scenarios.

In the start of the career as a technology consultant, graduates are absorbed in the support team as a lead consultant. The main work for support team is to analyze the data, gather information and draw out conclusions on the basis of gathered information. During the initial phase of a consulting career, such opportunities help a lot in acquiring good skills and learning a lot from the players of that field. Many technology consulting companies providing offshore software development services are in the phase of hiring new consultants since last three years and are using various new and more innovative recruitment procedures. Many companies are using virtual recruitment technique for hiring. In such kind of recruitment procedure, all the interview, test and information sessions are carried out online. The benefit of using such a method is that it gives the companies access to a large number of candidates for selection and selecting the best out of them.

Ryerson or McMaster? - It's true McMaster probably does have a better reputation than Ryerson but after you graduate I don't think when you go to an interview the deciding factor will ever be the university you went to. At least that was true in my case. I went to Ryerson and did their Technology/Business Program. I was employed the very next day after graduation not because of my grades (though that helps during co-op) or the fact that I went to Ryerson but because of what I brought to the table in terms of experience (part-time jobs I held while in school), social skills (verbal and written) and my goals. Since 2003 I've worked in Marketing, Content Management and Consulting. The Marketing program at Ryerson has some good classes and topics within it but entreprenuer on your resume if you plan on getting a job after graduation is going to be a tough one. BUT you can get around it by focusing on the classes you've taken and how you can apply them to any business. I believe true Entreprenuership can't be learnt in a classroom by a Professor who's never been an entreprenuer (not saying the profs at Ryerson were never an entrepreneurs - some of mine were). It has to be learnt in the field. If your move to Ryerson means you will be out of school faster, can take a 3 month vacation (which I missed out on but am planning for next summer) and then get a job or start your own thing then it sounds like a good deal to me BUT you need to decide.
Re: Require Info on CAD Fed/Prov Grants for Restaurant Start-up - I know the Ontario government is starting a "Second Career" campaign, full of internship opportunities for new chefs and catering staff. It may be worth your while to research the possibilities with that. It may work itself out to be cheap labor in the form of a grant. Good luck regardless!
