Other Added - Where the Jobs Are - Q3, 2005
If your reading this article, chances are your surfing the net. You and millions of other people, from your same town,from your same country, from your same continent and all over the globe. Now with all these readers how did you come to read my article. I own a printing and promotional product business in Montreal, Canada. Chances are you've never been to Canada and if so chances are you've never been to Montreal. So h
Overall, this is a very interesting set of statistics. In no way is this scientific, and it only represents the local job market in Los Angeles. However, it shows that there is a trend in gains for programmers with Linux skills. And once again, if you have experience with SQL, especially Oracle, you're not going to have any problems at all with getting work.
Personally, I feel comfortable being focused on d
When you decide if your employer is a good fit, you may want to look deeper than the company name, you may want to "investigate the boss!"The importance of a good fit in your career is an understatement. As you put your career in the hands of your employer, you must know what you are stepping into before you begin. In this series of articles we will explore some of these issues:1. Should you put your car
Anyway, here's the chart for this quarter. Below the chart I'll discuss the interesting changes that have occurred just during the past three months.
(EZineArticles currently doesn't support the viewing of tables. But, you can view the table at www.timothytrimble.info under the ART of Software Development blog.)
Here's what I find interesting about this chart compared to three months ago:
* VB continues to hold a steady market share. This includes .Net and pre-.Net. There was only a .2% drop in job market share this quarter, which is hardly worth mentioning. VB programmers are still in high demand, especially when they have SQL experience.
* Contrary to what anyone says, C++ is still going strong and has gained job market share. This quarter has seen a 1.79% increase in the market. My guess is that this is due to the increase of the Linux market since C++ is the number one development environment for that platform.
* The biggest winners in job market share gains is Java with 2.33% increase, MS SQL with a 2.57% increase, and the number one winner is Oracle with a 2.88% job market share. Oracle continues to be the leader in job positions with a 27.74% of the market.
* The biggest loser for this quarter is Pearl, which lost a whopping 6.92% of the job market. I don't know what accounts for this decrease but it appears to be across all three of the major job posting sites.
* A surprise loser for this quarter is C#, which lost 2.54% of the market to end up with only 2.95% of the job market. Again, my only reasoning on why this is taking place is due to the impact that Linux is having.

So you’ve decided to hang out your shingle and start your own bookkeeping business. Now the nail-biting begins. How are you going to line up some clients fast?1. Send out a sales letter to new businesses announcing your bookkeeping service. Put together a mailing list using your local Yellow Pages directory or Chamber of Commerce membership list.2. Place a display ad in your local newspaper. Watch your

Meteorologists claim, you can tell when you’re about to get hit by lightening: The little hairs on the back of your neck stand straight up, a sure sign that the air around you has become electrically charged.Ditto for the workplace.

Many not-for-profits provide valuable programs within the communities that they serve. Often these services are provided to individuals and families who may not be able to afford these needed services. Therefore, in order for the not-for-profit to raise the needed financial resources they have to engage in an aggressive fundraising program.Some of these fundraising efforts can include asking for outright donation

Try to avoid backing up whenever possible. Occasionally some one in a small car will park directly behind you at a gas station or stop sign. They will be parked so evenly that you won’t see them. This is why the telephone company and most large cable companies require drivers to put a cone behind their vehicle whenever they park their vehicles. It gets the driver in the habit of checking behind the vehicle since he

Personally, I feel comfortable being focused on doing Java development. As far as FileMaker goes, well, it would be interesting if I did a comparison between the MS Access and FileMaker markets. I guess that's a personal nitch of mine that I intend to stick with. Not because of the job market numbers, but because I enjoy the FileMaker and Mac environments. Proof again, that just following where the jobs are is not always the most satisfying approach.
Be sure to check back in another three months, when I examine the job market once again.
