ICTjob Philippines Inc. said there is a need for Filipino developers to continuously harness and improve their skills.
“There is an abundance of jobs for technology support and PHP [Personal Home Page] in the country, but lesser job posts for languages that are in demand in the IT [information-technology] job market,” ICTjob said in a statement. “This illustrates the Filipino developers’ necessity to improve their skills.”
The firm that runs its eponymous web site ICTjob.ph said IT professionals need to train and learn “in order to become experienced developers and gain in strategic knowledge.”
“Constantly upgrading their skill set and keeping a record of their past developments in github [a web-based Git, open source code project, repository hosting service] in an online résumé were seen as the key success criteria for candidates to attract the best companies to hire them, may it be locally or internationally,” ICTjob said.
The company added that finding the right candidate for their IT openings is one of the difficulties faced by companies seeking professionals.
