Here's a great article that I came across at The Working Geek about how to ensure that you don't look like a total dweeb when asked about unfamiliar technology. This is a fairly common occurence in our world since the web seems to change technologies about as often as some change their undies ( and maybe more frequently then some really need !). By the way, this is one of the most useful web sites for IT or related Tech Career advice that I've come across. I'd recommend adding it to your resource list. Anyone else out there have other career sites that they've found useful? Not Dice or Monster, we have plenty of references to them already :-).

Just a reminder to all of you former and prospective students that a new web track begins next Tues. Be sure and get your auditing sheets in if you plan to audit the class. Of course, please feel free to stop in anytime to say hi and check in with what you are up to. Changes for this track include more work on our new web host service, qsh. They seemed to give us a pretty low cost alternative for hosting external pages. Don't forget all of you to continue updating your sites with examples and an online resume is a huge plus for conttract agencies looking to place you. I would recomment an html page and also links to a downloadable .pdf as well as .doc and an .rtf  version. Remember that it's use it or lose it - so keep your skills up! and don't forget to let me and Strategy know how things are going. I keep a running list of interview questions and so should you. Immediately after every interview jot down the questions you were asked, eventually you'll end up with a pretty good idea of what the industry expects you to know :-) Forward me your questions and I'll add them to the compiled list.

Okay everyone, good luck and good hunting!
