Computer Training School Tutorial: Know Your Instructor |
 |
|
Making the decision to attend a computer tech school can
be one of the best decisions of your life. Another great decision
is to tap a hidden wealth of knowledge that is right before
every student at schools such as ECPI and ITT, but very few
students take advantage of it.
When you're attending a computer training school, you must
avoid the mentality that some other students will have - "I
gotta go to school, I gotta be here, I can't wait to leave
and go home". When you're preparing for a career working
with computers, you've got to take advantage of every learning
experience you can get, and that includes getting to know
the most valuable resource at your school - your teachers!
Your teachers have busy schedules, but it was my experience
that every single time I asked for help or had questions outside
of class, my teachers went the extra mile to help me. I’m
sure yours will do the same for you, but you have to let them
know you want that help!
At your tech school, you must develop the skills and work
ethic that you will use to succeed in the IT field. By staying
after class, working overtime in the computer labs, and getting
to know your instructors, you'll be astonished at the additional
knowledge you can pick up. Almost any good teacher is going
to have real-world experience, and you need to draw on that
knowledge. Having lunch with an instructor is another great
idea, as it allows you to get to know them away from the classroom.
Part of success in any field is making contacts for the future.
You may not be in the IT field yet, but you should already
be getting to know people with IT experience - and who better
than your teachers? Besides, they hear about job openings
all the time from friends, and the more you stand out from
the crowd, the more likely you are to be remembered for such
opportunities!
