Web Careers


Webmaster  

Did you know - There is no ONE course that makes you a complete WEBMASTER? And you thought it was all so easy (... so did I!!). Well, now is the time for enlightenment!!

First things first - Who or What is a Webmaster?

"A Webmaster is like a doctor on call at all times - he has to attend to matters immediately ", says a man accomplished in this profession. (and he is absolutely right!) webmaster2.gif (2027 bytes)
What you’ll need is a whole lot of practical knowledge, lots of hands-on experience, a thorough knowledge of NT, Unix, Web servers, Windows and basically everything in IT!! (sounds vague??)

Lets proceed systematically... .

Proficiency in Unix, Linux, Win NT, and servers such as SQL server is a must.
An engineering degree isn’t an absolute must but a graduate degree is.
A 6-month work ex as a system administrator is essential so that you can do more than just differentiate between a server and a keyboard!!

Last but not the least - let’s talk MONEY! You will be entitled to anything between 15-20 grand. Don’t fall off your chair now - wait till you hear this... . your pay could go upto a lakh in the Indian scenario !! Pots of money await you - but remember this - if you are not enthusiastic and are not hungry (to learn, of course!) - you will stand nowhere at the end of the day!!
