Career

I have moved around quite a bit over the past 10 years; I've lived in 3 different cities in 2 countries, and during this period have been self-employed as well as working for 4 different companies. The truth is, I tend to get bored of a job after about a year, and start getting antsy for something new.

Having worked as system engineer - got experience in Linux based systems and implementations. Now I want to upgrade my career. Move to next step for Technical Analysts or Cloud/Virtualization Architect. What is the career path ?

Outside of how long you are connected to the network ... I'm just wondering what other information Yahoo's Marissa Mayer got about telecommuting employees' activity via the VPN.

How much difference does it make to an IT career what college you attend? I mean, yeah, I understand that you are going to be more likely to get a call back if you went to Stanford, for example, versus Acme Tech, but outside of the top 10 or so schools, does it really make a significant difference over the course of your career?

When sending my resume to potential employers, what is the best format to use? Sometimes companies specify, which makes it easy, but if they don't is one format more likely to be welcomed than others? I have been using DOC format, but a friend of mine suggested that I should send my resume as a TXT file.

Is there a source that keeps track of MS certification offerings? I've looked around MS's site, and I can seem to find a easy to access source for what's new/updated. I was looking for MCITP in Virtualization for Windows Server 2012, but apparently it isn't available yet. Where can I find new certification release dates?

G. H. Hardy, a famous mathematician was scheduled to give a keynote speech at a conference. For an advance summary, he said he would present a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, but it should be kept in secret. As it turned, he spoke on a more prosaic topic.

I saw that there is a new "Social Media Security Professional" (SMSP) certification in the works. I'm old enough to remember when there wasn't Facebook (or even MySpace), so maybe I'm a bit of a geezer, but is here really a need for a separate IT certification for social media?

Looking for tips and best practices for creating a resume suitable for submitting online.  Thanks!

also i'm a fresh engineering graduate in computer science now i'm working as a .net developer in a company and getting 10k rupees per month but here i'm not given work to do so i think here my skills are not developing.

I was updating my resume, and removing the useless information to make it less cluttered and (hopefully) more compelling. Does knowing Python still have any value to potential employers? I learned it, oh I don't even know exactly, perhaps 6-7 years ago.
