Occupations that information management can engage in.

Employment orientation1:Professional status of ERP implementation engineer or ERP implementation consultant: With the widespread popularization and application of information technology, society and enterprises have an increasing demand for information-based talents. However, there is a shortage of compound talents who know business, management and technology in China. According to the estimation of Hou Binghui, an ERP expert and professor of Tsinghua University, there are only 1,000 qualified ERP implementation consultants in China at present, which is only a drop in the bucket compared with hundreds of thousands of domestic enterprises that need informatization. At present, ERP talents are mainly employed in three directions: one is to work in a software company and engage in software implementation; The second is to work in software application units to improve the efficiency of users' software use; Third, we should set up our own company to provide software consulting and implementation services as a bridge between software companies and users. In the next few years, China will need a large number of third-party companies specializing in software consulting and implementation services. Salary level: the average salary is not less than 3,000 yuan/month. For a large foreign-funded firm like KPMG, the salary of an implementation consultant is not less than 7,000 yuan/month, and that of a newcomer is about 5,000 yuan/month. Expert's suggestion: The most important thing to think of famous consultants as ERP implementation consultants is communication ability. Mr. Yang Jingchao, former senior manager of KPMG China Company, gave the author a very simple example to illustrate that the internal management and business of each enterprise are very different. When an enterprise requires you to implement ERP, you must go to every department of the enterprise to familiarize yourself with other people's business processes. How can we go on without communication? The cultivation of communication ability can start from the university. Don't be afraid, speak up and tell others what you think, and learn to listen and admit your mistakes. Communication is really everywhere. Secondly, management and marketing knowledge, as well as financial knowledge. To do ERP, it is necessary to integrate all departments of the enterprise, even the upstream and downstream resources of the enterprise, so you should understand the work contents of each department and the advanced and popular management methods and systems of an enterprise. About these, you can read some professional journals and implementation cases on the website to get familiar with them. You don't have to know the actual details (in fact, you don't have any chance to get in touch with these details except through internship), but you must know the management ideas and basic market principles. A person who goes to a client's office and asks why there must be marketing public relations expenditure, no consulting company wants to invite him to ruin his professional image. These things are basically invisible in the current textbooks. Students are advised to read some excellent management periodicals, such as Sales and Marketing and Business. Some practical articles about them should give us inspiration different from textbooks. Finally, you should have certain computer application ability and be familiar with some large database management systems (such as Oracle/SQL Server/ /DB2/). ). The Ministry of Information Industry and PCCW Company jointly established ERP talent training certification -ERP management consultant technical qualification certificate. In addition, Kingdee and UFIDA Software also developed the whole training course of ERP implementation. Conditional students can participate in training and get certificates, which is helpful for job hunting. Employment direction 2: Professional status of management software development engineer: From the perspective of demand and "money", the industry is generally optimistic about IT talents after the Spring Festival this year. In this big environment, the market situation of this position in 2005 and beyond should be quite optimistic. Salary: similar to that of software engineer in IT industry. According to different regions, it is around 3000-6000 yuan respectively. The prices offered by companies such as Huawei and Kingdee are enviable among previous graduates. Expert advice: Compared with students majoring in computer and management, we all have certain advantages on the other hand. I chose to focus on computers in college, and then I became familiar with three major economics courses: finance, management and market. Besides having some basic management knowledge, we should also have the concept of teamwork. As we all know, large-scale software development is completed by teams (so-called projects), and your work and cooperation ability are directly related to the progress of the project. I suggest you find some books about team building and cooperation during your school days, first form a concept, and then try to participate in some team activities to understand how to do things well through cooperation. Ability to program with more than one programming tool. At present, the mainstream development tool or language is DELPHI/JAVA/PB/ASP/HTML, and it is also necessary to be familiar with large-scale database management systems (such as Oracle/SQL Server/DB2). ). Also, the idea of software engineering is very important. Being engaged in this position is hard, the work pressure is relatively high, the knowledge is updated quickly, and the ability of continuous learning is needed. With certain work experience, you can hold management positions such as project manager and technical director. Employment direction 3: Professional status of software testing engineers: With the continuous improvement of software quality in the market, software testing will become more and more important, and the status and treatment of corresponding testers will gradually improve. In large companies with standardized software processes such as Microsoft, the number and treatment of software testers are not much different from those of programmers, and the treatment of excellent testers is even higher than that of programmers. Software testing will become a promising industry, and software testing is promising. According to relevant post statistics, in most foreign software companies, 1 software development engineers need to supplement two software testing engineers. In addition, the online game industry has developed rapidly. This software testing engineer, who is recognized as a "sunrise" industry, should be a temptation for many students: he can play games for free and get a good salary. However, these are all guaranteed by your good professional quality. Salary level: about 2000-4000 yuan/month for newcomers. According to industry professionals, the salary of this position is as high as 8000 yuan/month. Expert advice: be proficient in software engineering, familiar with software testing process, and have a deep understanding and experience of software testing methods and software quality assurance. Knowledge of software programming is better. Software testing is the basis of software quality assurance. Familiar with test theory and process, at least proficient in using automated test tools or test management tools. Strive to master C/C++ or Java, ASP, JSP, MS SQL, Oracle database and software configuration management tools, and it is best to participate in the development of some practical projects (such as amateur studios and holiday internships composed of several students). The training course for software testing engineers held by China Software Evaluation Center has received a good response in the industry. If you can participate in similar training programs, it will help you master specific and practical technologies. Employment direction 4: Professional position of information system management and maintenance position: basically, slightly larger enterprises have their own websites and local area networks-that requires network management, so the demand statistics of this position in the talent market are also very beautiful. However, at present, the network administrators set up by domestic enterprises only stay in simple operations such as uploading and downloading resources, maintaining local area network and troubleshooting computers, and the treatment is not ideal. And the space for personal development is relatively small. However, network administrators who are proficient in web design technology and have excellent design works still have money. Expert's suggestion: The personnel in this position are generally engaged in the management and maintenance of computer equipment, and need to have some basic knowledge of computer hardware and computer network. It would be better if you have knowledge of computer security. If you can receive some relevant training and get certificates (such as Microsoft, Cisco and other certifications) during your school study, you will have more advantages in employment. Employment direction 5: Expert advice on IT management positions: Competition in such positions is a fact that graduates of this major are unwilling but have to face. Many previous graduates have embarked on this road. I think I can make full use of my professional background-computer, and take the lead in applying for sales and management positions in some IT companies. In addition to solid and systematic economic professional knowledge, good communication skills and organizational skills are also essential, and rich social practice experience is particularly important. Students who are interested in this position are engaged in social practice during their school days. If you can have an enterprise internship, don't miss this opportunity. Employment direction 6: Customer service professional market: For enterprises with high degree of e-commerce, customer service contributes a lot to creating corporate profits, and often relies on electronic tools. Amazon service department has a large number of people and is also one of the most important departments. Because there are no such professionals before, the information management majors in the customer service direction are systematically trained, and professionals who are good at using electronic tools to maximize customer satisfaction will definitely be favored by such enterprises. Main courses: key account sales management, dealer management, professional sales skills of industry key accounts, good habits of professional key account managers, key account management, customer relationship/supply chain management, customer consumption psychology and sales behavior, internal customer service, electronic customer service and other professional channels: regardless of industry and nature, traditional enterprises will pay more and more attention to customer service, and the use of electronic means will greatly improve the quality and efficiency of services. Therefore, in addition to the traditional customer service knowledge and skills, students in the customer service direction will highlight their competitiveness when facing this position with great demand for talents. This kind of professional quality will create a core competitiveness for enterprises to win the service. It is best to strengthen oral English. First of all, to apply for a better company, they will require English ability; Secondly, the customer service itself needs to communicate in English when facing foreign customers. Establish professional awareness. Do everything possible to be familiar with the traditional business operation processes and characteristics of different types of enterprises, and look for application links that can be combined with some e-commerce ideas and technologies. We should also be familiar with a large number of enterprise e-commerce implementation cases, and analyze the success or failure experience and lessons of enterprise e-commerce implementation with modern enterprise management methods, network technology, project management and other methodologies. This will help to establish the professional sensitivity and professionalism of business seeking technology and technology promoting business. Vocational training: properly participate in some formal and well-received professional training. Customer service is a simple job, but the actual operation is very complicated. More importantly, enterprises that attach importance to customer service are often large enterprises, and they have very high requirements for the quality of their employees in this respect. So you may wish to participate in some customer service skills, language communication, process design training. Employment direction 7: Specialized market of logistics and supply chain management: In developed cities, there are relatively good transportation infrastructure, storage facilities and means of information exchange. In traditional economically developed cities, the prospects are greater than those in small and medium-sized cities. At the same time, the logistics of e-commerce serves e-commerce, and the application status of e-commerce in small and medium-sized cities is not particularly good, so there are many central cities, especially the Yangtze River Delta Economic Belt with Shanghai as the core. Main courses: supply chain management, e-commerce logistics management and computer software programming technology. Career channel: It is generally believed that logistics is the third party, but if there is no modern e-commerce, there will be problems in logistics application. With such a modern e-commerce means, you can enjoy information. Technically speaking, we can reduce the inventory, reduce the backlog of funds, improve the turnover of funds and improve the utilization rate of funds through supply. Based on technology, not limited to technology, refers to finding a job through the technology you have mastered, improving your ability with technology as a platform, and finally achieving the goal of becoming an excellent manager. Therefore, it is very important for students who want to display their ambitions in the logistics industry to master the application technology of scientific and technological e-commerce and improve the knowledge system of logistics management. It is suggested to actively seek relevant internship opportunities. This is very helpful for first-time employment. There are three ways: 1. Pay attention to famous enterprises, such as Maersk's website, they will recruit some trainees (interns), don't think you can't do it, try it; 2. Through seniors or other social relationships, the chances of success will be greatly increased. 3. take the initiative to come to the door. Vocational training: 1. Train customs declarers and certifiers. 2. Logistics division (there are three qualifications, which were introduced in this newspaper before); 3.
