Podcast #1: Why IT’s About More than Just the Tech Skills

To succeed today, you need to have both IT and business savvy. But what exactly are the non-technical skills that are essential for today’s IT staff? And why might working for a smaller firm pay dividends later in your career? In our first podcast, Katherine Spencer Lee, executive director of Robert Half Technology, interviews Dave Strickler, CEO of two technology firms, about his personal recipe for success. Strickler, whose firms provide e-mail security products and services for businesses, will also reveal how he successfully launched a start-up in 2002, in the midst of an economic downturn.

Part I: How Dave Strickler got his start. Dave shares his career path and talks about why it made sense to launch a new company in 2002.

Part II: Prospects for the e-mail security market. This enormous market segment might be a good place for you to start – or continue – your IT career.

Part III: Skills in Demand / IT Career Differentiators. What technical and non-technical skills are employers seeking? And how can you leverage outside interests to promote your career growth?
