IBM invites you to join an infant industry.
Big as it is, the information processing industry is just beginning to grow.
Recently, Fortune estimated that the value of general purpose computers installed in this country will more than double by 1972. Other publications have other predictions and probably no source is totally precise. But most agree that information processing is one of America's fastest growing major industries.
Every day, it seems, computers go to work in a new field or new application. IBM computers are working in such diverse fields as business, law, medicine, oceanography traffic control, air pollution. Just about any area you can name.
To somebody just starting out, this growth means exceptionally good chances for advancement. Last year, for example, we appointed over 4,000 managers-on performance, not seniority. Here are four ways you could grow with IBM:
Engineering and Science
"The interdisciplinary environment keeps you technologically hot."
"Working in data processing today pretty much means you work in a broad spectrum of technologies," says Nick Donofrio.
An Associate Engineer at IBM, Nick is a 1967 graduate in Electrical Engineering. He's using his technical background to design circuits for computer memory systems.
Nick says, "Your specialty at IBM can take you into the front yard of half a dozen different fields. In my job, for example, I work with systems design engineers, chemists physicists, metallurgists, and programmers. The diversity helps me keep up to date on the latest technologies."
Career areas in engineering and science at IBM include: Research, Design & Development, Manufacturing, Product Test, Space and Defense Projects, and Field Engineering. You'll need at least a B.S. in any technical field.
Marketing
"Working with company presidents is part of the job."
"I'm pretty much the IBM Corporation in the eyes of my customers," says Andy Moran. "I
consider that fairly good for an engineer who graduated only two years ago."
Andy earned his B.S.E.E. in 1966.Today, he's a Marketing Representative with IBM, involved in the planning,selling and installation of data processing systems.
Andy's customers include companies with annual sales ranging from 20 million to 120 million dollars. He often works with executive vice-presidents and presidents. Andy says, "At first I was a little nervous about the idea of advising executives at that level. But by the time I finished training, I knew I was equipped to do the job."
Career areas in marketing at IBM include: Data Processing Marketing and Systems Engineering, Office Products Sales, and Information Records Sales. Degree requirement: B.S. or B.A. in any field.
Finance
"You're in an ideal spot to move ahead fast."
"I've always figured my chances for advancement would be better in a growth industry. That's why I picked IBM," says Joe Takacs.
Joe's been working in general accounting
since he got his B.B.A. in June, 1968. Growth wasn't the only reason he chose IBM. He says, "I learned that it's general practice at IBM to promote from within and to promote on merit alone. I like that.
"Another growth factor is the job itself," Joe says. "During my first few years, I'll get experience in nearly every area of general accounting Income & Expense, Balance Sheet, and so on. I'll be learning how the company is structured and how it operates on a broad scale. That's exactly the kind of knowledge I'll need to help me qualify for a manager's job.
Career areas in finance at IBM include: Financial Planning;Financial Analysis, Pricing and Business Policy Development Accounting, Information Systems,and Internal Auditing. You'll need at least a Bachelor's degree.
Programming
'It's a mixture of science and art."
"A computer is practi tically useless until somebody writes a program for it," says Earl Wilson.
Earl got a B.A. in Modern Languages in June,1967. He's now an IBM programmer working on a teleprocessing system that will link the computerized management information systems of several IBM divisions.
Earl defines a "program" as a set of instructions that enables a computer to do a specific job. "Programming involves science," says Earl, "because you have to analyze problems logically and objectively. But once you've made your analysis, you have an infinite variety of ways to use a computer's basic abilities. There's all the room in the world for individual expression."
Career areas in programming at IBM include: Systems Programming, Applications Programming, Programming Research, and Internal Programming for IBM's own use. You'll need at least a B.S. or B.A.
