Let me help you with your resume

As a professional writer, I am asked regularly to help my friends getting a job by improving thier resume. Let me help you with your resume online.

How to get a Hi Tech job.

Our economy sucks, and frankly, it favors folks with technical degrees.  However, there is a place for folks who have non-technical backgrounds including folks without a high-school diploma.  The fact of the matter is that the US Goverment imports over 80,000 people a year to fill high-tech positions a year that could easily be filled by US folks.  So, in order to get one of these positions, a little work needs to be done.

First, you have to prove yourself.... you have to get technical cred before you can get a high-tech job.  The best way to prove this is to get some sort of degree. I chose to get a community college degree after the army.  Another way is to become a contributor and then a commiter to an Apache Software Foundation project. 

Both of these suggestions require that you know what you're doing. You dont' want to land a job that you wont be successful doing. As such, there are a number of organizations that will help you.  They will be included on future blogs.
