Below you will find a summarized list of free chapters for
The IT Career Builder’s Toolkit:
Your Complete Guide To Building Your Technology Career In Any Economy
| I wrote the book from the perspective of someone who works in the industry - not as an HR expert or writing from theory. It started as a series of articles I wrote in my career column for Power Media Group starting back in 2001. Eventually, readers and others on the now defunct Cramsession discussion boards asked for a guide or Toolkit of career development advice.The chapters are provided for free - something I had requested from Cisco Press from the start. My philosophy is that book people want books -if my content is good, you’ll buy it. If you are not a book person, you won’t. But having it available gives you access to it and you might pass it along to someone who is a book person. |
