The Landscape has Changed
I was struck last week by how many articles I read that were upbeat and positive about our economy. Everywhere I looked a vendor, partner, company, was reporting “slightly improved activity”. And this week Seagate raised its outlook for the current quarter as did Brocade. So what does this mean? Are we getting back to business as usual? I don’t think so, but the outlook is definitely improving.

An article in the NY Times a couple of weeks ago entitled “In Silicon Valley, the Jobs Picture Has Changed” talks about the industries that have been winners and losers since the dot com bust. Keep your eyes open for opportunities in new industries and be prepared to explain why your skills are transferable!
