Job-Hunting Tips from a Microsoft Veteran

Bahçeşehir University hosted Lutz Ziob, General Manager of Microsoft Learning Worldwide. The event was organized in cooperation with the Bahçeşehir University Faculty of Communication and Wissen Academy, which provides training within the framework of CO-OP programs.

At the conference, whose main theme was certificate training, which is gaining importance around the world, and the effects of this training on personal development, Ziob focused on programs that can be more effective in finding a job and gave important clues about training programs that will be in demand in the future.

Citing Nelson Mandela's words, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world," Lutz Ziob said they were confident that the Bahçeşehir-Wissen-Microsoft partnership would play an effective role in achieving a great deal.

THE LIMITS OF IMAGINATION WILL BE PUSHED

Telling participants that Microsoft has a portfolio of products and that this portfolio should be taken advantage of, Ziob said while describing the latest hardware: "We are only at the beginning of the road. Bill Gates was a mind with great foresight. Even so, he did not predict where we are today. My predictions are also strong. Even I find it hard to predict where software and installation technology will be in 10-20 years. Now we are on the way to becoming part of this technology in 3D, with our voices and bodies. So there are skills we need to change. You should definitely take part in certificate programs that will give you these skills."

THOSE WHO ARE DIFFERENT GET HIRED

Ziob continued: "In the IT sector, we will need many more employees in the future. You will join the workforce in 2-3 years. To get ahead of technology advancing at an incredible pace, you must be different. When it comes to hiring or future promotions, know that the first choices will be those who have benefited from these programs.""

NAVIGATE YOUR OWN CAREER!

Noting that in the programs offered by Wissen Academy, including Certified Java Programming, Certified Server Administrator (Windows Server 2008 and Linux), Microsoft Certified .NET Programming, Certified iPhone Programming Training, C++ & Object-Oriented Programming Training and iPhone / iPad Application Development Training, software worth tens of thousands of dollars is offered to users free of charge, Lutz Ziob said the same offer also applies, valid for 3 years, to those who want to start a business right away and be their own boss. Ziob said, "We have set out to change the ways of teaching and learning. The new trend is working collaboratively instead of focusing on individual productivity. Join our programs and set your own career to the highest standard! Navigate your own career."

WE ATTACH GREAT IMPORTANCE TO BAHÇEŞEHİR UNIVERSITY IN EDUCATION

Speaking at the conference, Axel Stadtelmeyer, General Manager of Wissen Academy, Microsoft's most successful training partner in Germany, said that this collaboration was noteworthy and that they see Bahçeşehir University as having significant potential in terms of the talents to be brought to the sector.

Delivering the closing speech of the conference, Bahçeşehir University Vice President Prof. Dr. Ali Güngör said: "Certificate programs are like muscles. Skeletons move thanks to muscles. As a university, we have launched hundreds of certificate programs for tens of thousands of students. We are proud of our achievements."
