I have taken oracle dba classes, and am preparing for the OCA right now. I want to get a job as junior dba but it seems like all of the positions want 3 years of experience… any insight on how to enter this field would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks,

Aisha

Thanks! I dont have enough post to pm you back so I will write here. I am applying for junior pl/sql developer positions, I feel that I have a better chance of getting that and working my way up. what do you think? I also have a job offer that is a business analyst but i will get to load data in sql server and work with sql server. They said I would get to work with developers and get development projects that will give me hands on knowledge with sql.. should I go for that or waite for Pl/SQL jobs? My end goal is dba.

Thanks,

Aisha

Don't discount the opportunity to work as a business analyst. In fact, for an entry-level position, it's pretty good and will help you understand the intricacies of aligning business goals with IT requirements. In the long term, employers will value such experience.
