Network or perish
As IT personnel, we tend to get boxed-in, stranded on our own little island. We fail to make people aware of our activities, both within our own organization and in our wider professional circles. Just like a shipwrecked captain waiting for the rescue boat on a desert island, if you fail to communicate, your career will be stuck with no possibility of progression. This presentation will show you how to leverage networking and self-marketing techniques that will allow you to set sail off the island and into new opportunities. http://wcompute.org/2012/05/19/review-of-sqlsaturday-142-network-or-perish/ Session Level: Beginner Paresh Motiwala Paresh Motiwala is a Microsoft SQL Database Administrator with Bingham McCutchen in Boston.
