Question:
Ever tried to break into the world of private consulting. Even if you go
with the route of programming, this new VS.net has a lot to offer
programmers it seems as far as $
but then again the economy still hurts that, but you would be able to market
yourself across the world doing something like that. just a thought.
Answer:
That is my site. What I am saying really has nothing to do with my site
itself, but all the sites all over the place. There are webmasters like me
that do as good as they can on the programming side but have to keep focused
on the content side of there site and don't have time to do all the
programming. I spend about 5 hours a day trying to improve my site as far as
the code and really do not get much done. I am wanting to introduce some
asp.net code but there are not enough people out there to help, meaning
everyone is way to expensive. If you got into you have several options, one,
and probably the biggest money maker is writing useful and good code and
selling it. i.e. something such as a mailing list .net script, or something
like that, just find what is useful and create it and use your imagination.
Another option would be helping website owners improve there site, make it
faster i.e. finding trouble in there scripts and making it better and more
efficient. These are just some ideals to help you make some extra money and
to eventually get you out of help desk, I was there 1 1/2 years and hated
it. This is just were I see money being at in the future.
-What type of experience do u have? Is it with servers, etc. Do u have any
knowledge of working with cisco products? I mean hands on experience. The
reason i ask, is because if u are one dimentional, meaning u only know
Windows, or u only know cisco, then of course u will have problems. Now a
days, employeers want to see u have mutiple skills, such as windows,
solaris, cisco. Thats how u make it to the next level. The job market is
tough, there is alot of competition. u have to keep trying.
-Why not give out personal information? I'll just offer a few suggestions.
You don't have to follow them.
Here is a sample of a resume that landed a couple of 6-figure positions in
the past ;-) http://www.pctips.com/resume/LeonidKnyshovResume.doc
You have the same problem I used to have, non-categorized software.
Difficult to read.
Otherwise, your record is good.
I notice a lot of education, yet no certs? It gives a notion of
incompleteness.
I doubt that the coursework you've undertaken in college is relevant. That
hits me as a "college student" resume.
