<div dir="ltr">Thats a Good debate issue.... This is a classic "IT GUY" phenomenon. The main problem is that Many people/organisations do not differentiate the different fields/skill sets associated with ICT and tend to lump them up as one under the general title "IT". Whether you are a programmer, systems analyst, network specialist, systems admin, security expert ... to them you are the "IT Guy" expected to have answers to all problems relating to computers and electronic devices. Some even call the IT guy to fix electrical appliances such as iron box, immersion heaters etc. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 27, 2016 at 3:22 PM, Alex Watila via skunkworks <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke" target="_blank">skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div class="m_-2155312806238676354WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d">Dear all,</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">What are your thoughts on the below issue?<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><div><div><p style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:15.0pt;margin-left:0in"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">“</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">If you were hiring electricians, would you expect them to be a dab hand at plastering, proficient at carpentry and a competent carpet fitter?<u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:15.0pt;margin-left:0in"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">Probably not, so why do recruiters expect developers, sysadmins and other IT workers to have such a ludicrously wide range of skills?<u></u><u></u></span></p><p style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:15.0pt;margin-left:0in"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333">Those working in the IT industry say job ads frequently demand a skillset so large or so specific that very few applicants can ever match up.</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">”</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#333333"><u></u><u></u></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.techrepublic.com/article/is-tech-recruitment-broken-clueless-hr-blamed-for-demanding-the-impossible-from-it-workers/?ftag=TRE1289efa&bhid=51751792" target="_blank">http://www.techrepublic.com/<wbr>article/is-tech-recruitment-<wbr>broken-clueless-hr-blamed-for-<wbr>demanding-the-impossible-from-<wbr>it-workers/?ftag=TRE1289efa&<wbr>bhid=51751792</a><u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">regards,<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><u></u><u></u></font></span></span></p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Alex<u></u><u></u></span></p></font></span></div></div></div><br>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>
