Technical Lead Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
I have roughly 9 years of IT experience. I'm applying for a director position (with probably 3-4 managers reporting to me, each with 4-8 people reporting to them). This would definitely be a big step up in responsibility for me, but I feel I'm ready for the challenge. I've been largely a technical lead in the past. I've handled interviews and budgeting, but I'm concerned that since I have't been "strictly a manager" for 5+ years, that I won't be considered. According to the job requirements, they want a "big picture thinker", and all the other traits fit me perfect. However, I know I'm skinny on the pure management piece, which is supposedly 20?f the job. I don't want to exaggerate my resume, but I want to make sure I phrase information about my team and project leadership in a way that makes me seem as experienced in management as possible. Any tips?

I've been told it's an excellent branch to go into with my degree. What jobs do most people in my field get in the airforce? Would I need training first? Are there specific bases in the country that require my degree? Do you know of any? Sorry for so many questions, I am planning to ask a recruiter soon, but I wanted to check with others online too.

I want to find a major that will guide me towards a job that involves a ton of math, if not all. I really love calculus and plan on majoring in math anyways. I'm just worried I won't like engineering but that seems to be all anyone ever tells me.

I am going to a community college for Nursing this year, but after spring semester I am going to be put on a waiting list so I am going to have a whole year off school. I was thinking about getting my AA in Psychology in case things in the Nursing field do not work out when I am done. I have most of the pre-requisites done for it already so I would only have about a semester left to do. Are there any actual jobs you can do with a AA or do you pretty much have to have a bachelors? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I know that you can get almost any job with a Mathematics degree, and I also that Mathematics graduates have the LOWEST levels of UNEMPLOYMENT, but which jobs can they get exactly? Specific details please? I know that you can be a maths teacher/lecturer, and that's obvious, but I really don't want to go into teaching. I also know that you can have a job in Finance and Accounting, but they are also obvious.

If you just completley walked out on a job because it was sucking your life away, what would you write on your resume/job application for a new job? No, I don't want to dis my old boss or job, they were all nice people, it was just the job itself that sucked and I really couldn't take one more minute of it. And I don't want to write anything that says that it was a bad place, b/c obviously that would look bad on myself as well. I was just looking for something like "wanted to move on" but I'm not sure if that is acceptable for a job application. Haha. I think comments like "sucking my life away"" mean I am exactly the opposite of a typical 9-5 worker....
