Many people in Devon are experiencing or facing unemployment in 2011. It doesn't matter what age, sex or race you are, job opportunities are not easy to come by and for some it might be time to consider some different ways to enhancing your prospects than those you've tried already.

One of the things you may have given no previous consideration to is working in IT. Practically everyone has a computer and you may have transferable skills you never even thought of as being such. If you know how to use Google or any other search engine then you can research IT Training in Exeter (or any other large Devon town).

Think about the things you use your computer for and how this could be used in a work/business environment. Are you an avid game player for instance - maybe you have a flair that could be used in game software development.

Maybe your family relies on you whenever anything goes wrong with their computers – are they straight to you on the phone when the printer doesn't print or the internet doesn't connect? This could mean you have a natural aptitude for technology and a future career as a hardware engineer beckons.

With some creative thinking you'd be surprised what could be channelled into a career in IT. For example, you loved art at school but would never dream of being a professional artist, but how about being a computer graphics designer? The world of IT contains more job types than you would ever imagine. Maybe your dream job is just waiting for you to find it.
