Understanding Job Requirements

 

Assignment

 

For your final assignment I want you to understand the requirements for working as a systems integrator - which is also normally a senior software engineering level position. Below I have three real job postings. For this assignment look at these postings, list key skill sets that are necessary for these types of jobs and evaluate your level and what education/certifications/training you might need to be at the required level. Please note that the job postings that I selected are for $100K+ a year jobs and you are not likely to have all the skills, education, and experience for them. These are, however, a good basis for you to understand the future of your career.
