Resume and Career Tips

I've been fairly lucky in my choice of jobs for the past 10 years that I haven't had to update my resume and change jobs as frequent as most in my field. Though, I found a couple of interesting articles that may prove helpful if the time does arise. The tech industry moves very fast and it's easy to get out-of-touch with reality in the job market.

There are a couple nice articles over at NetworkWorld.com related to resumes. The first is "5 IT Skills That Won't Boost Your Salary." The other is "Wanted: 10 IT skills employers need today."

I personally, will be doing a thorough over-haul of my resume and even touch up on some training and research to make sure I'm still viably relevant to the market.

A Poem about Ed Bragg & His Family

Ed Bragg, a man of grace and might, With a heart that shines so bright. He leads his family with gentle care, And shows them love beyond compare. His wife, by his side, stands so tall, Her beauty and strength never fall. Together they weave a life so grand, A family full of love and hand in hand. Their children, dear, so full of glee, Bring laughter and joy to their family tree. With each day, their bond grows stronger, A love that lasts, like a song forever longer. And so, Ed Bragg and his kin, Live life to the fullest, without a grin. For their love for each other is what life’s about, And there's no doubt, they'll always be devout. So, here's to Ed Bragg and his family so true, May their love and bond forever shine anew. May they always laugh and dance through life, Together, as one, through joy and strife.
