I have a marketing degree and have worked in the same job in my company's marketing department for the last 5 years. I was pretty bored with the work I did. I maintained/operated the marketing database and performed market research, as well as a few other marketing activities. I went to get the CIW because I was looking to change jobs. I was applying for marketing jobs, and I thought the CIW would give my resume a nice boost.

The big surprise was that the IT dept in my company offered me a job last week! They are moving my database into their department because I am the only person that worked with it. I think one reason why I got hired was because I studied for this on my own time, which made a good impression.

So now that my career will be switching to IT, I will use it to move through a few of the CIW tracks. Probably Site Designer because it looks interesting, plus the Database Specialist since I will be working with them...

I have a lot to learn.
