Sounds like temp agency trying to test the ability of people.
yeah, well most people take care of that for them. I may not see a lot of value for my own career in CompTIA testing, but this is exactly why is exist in the first place.

I'm looking for software or an organization that would help me assess the skills of IT professionals in job market. It should offer IT simulation tests that would assess the skills of IT professionals in networking, desktop support, helpdesk and security. I work at a career management firm and this software would give us an idea where our IT candidates are skill-wise regardless of their current certifications.

Chances for european SAP CRM consultants in the US job market?

How would you regard chances for european SAP CRM consultants in the US job market?
I have seen many job offers on the net for applicants with a work permit only.

As far as I know, you can only get a visa if there's no resource avaliable in the whole US, looks like too much effort for a company to justify a visa, I don't know if this has changed but 1 year ago, was almost impossible.

When taking a test for a job application the new tab opens up and tells me a system error has occurred

I have to take a talent assessment test for a job application but when the tab comes up it tells me I have a system error has occurred. What does that mean?

Hi Bob,
I have question that I hope you can answer. I am trying to decide how to set up my wireless network with a 4th generation Airport Time Capsule (802.11n) with a 5th generation Airport Extreme (802.11n). I have read that you can extend your wireless network, but I am unsure which device I should have connected to the modem, etc., or what setup is the best way to utilize these devices. I want to setup my wireless network and get the most out of each device while making it so that internet connection is "excellent" throughout the house. In addition, I also want to be able to use Time Capsule or Airport Etreme to back up with Time Machine. Basically, I don't understand what it is that I have and how to use it in the best way.
Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Michael

Hello,
SWU_OBUF really should do the same trick as the job. (I neither can remeber the job name.)
Did you have some transaction(s) open in another session(s), when you executed SWU_OBUF. This might have a really annoying effect: the SWU_OBUF doesn't seem to do its job. For example I once had SE37 open in another session, and SWU_OBUF didn't do the trick (tried many times). After closing SE37, it suddenly worked...

Successfule DBAs in US Job Market

To be successful in US Job Market as DBA i thing 3 things are important
1-Technical skill 60%
2-Communication Skills 30%
3- Management 10%
This is my thinking , Anybody want to add some more things in it ....

I would say you need to be very good at documenting what you do. Someone who is detail oriented.
I would also add someone who is resourceful. You can't know everything but can you find the right answer quickly?
Also, someone who is very proactive. That means setting up your backups, testing, Disaster Recovery tests etc... You have to practice these things. You don't want to come here asking for HELP when your system goes down asking how to restore it.

Hi Neha,
First of all, congratulation for becoming a certified SAP consultant.
I suggest you to Surf through all the JOB portals, short list the job most appropriate for you.
The most IMP thing is DO NOT USE COMMON CV FOR APPLYING TO ALL THESE JOB.
Modify your CV for applying to each JOB keeping job description in mind. In other word as per Job description tailor-made your CV so that you get interview call for sure.
Instead of applying 1000 job with common CV apply only 10 most appropriate job with Tailor-made CV.
The second most IMP thing is NEVER USE WORD FRESHER.
Keep this statement in your mind that "No employer is willing to conduct a training institute."
You are a certified consultant, be confident and go KING SIZE.
Till the time you get your JOB keep sharing your knowledge and keep training your Juniors. This will help refreshing and gaining more knowledge.
Do not hesitate to ask any further questions.
Wish you all the very best.
Regards

IPhone SDK - test for sound input availability?

Should one try to determine if the device has a microphone available before calling AudioQueueNewInput and AudioQueueStart? I didn't see any mention of this requirement in the Audio Queue Services Programming Guide. (But in ancient MacOS history, one used to at least check the gestaltSoundAttr for the gestaltPlayAndRecord flags before trying to use the Sound Manager...)
I have some audio queue input code which seems to work on the SDK simulator; what will happen if someone tries to run this code on an iPod Touch, which doesn't have a mic (AFAIK)? And if someone attaches a mic to the iPod dock connector, can this be detected and used?

Good Question. I did just that. It seems that the iPod touch thinks that the input device is present and the call to AudioQueueStart returns 0. Good or bad, I don't know. I assume that this function should trigger the callback function to the delegate, but it only works in the simulator. This can be seen with the Speak Here app that is posted for examples. The debugger console shows a call to updateUserInterfaceOnAudioQueueStateChange when recording begins and when recording ends. On the iPod touch the call to the delegate is only done when recording stops.
I would also like to know how to test for an input device.

Off topic - job market

Hello
Sorry for the off topic, after all this is a technical forum...
I have been working with Apex for quite a while now and I find it a great tool. I enjoy working with it and I consider myself quite good at it.
However I have concerns about my employability... Its job market seems to be almost non-existent where I live (UK). Even so, Apex seems to be now a mature product, with a growing user base, the Apex forum is one of the Oracle's most popular forums and the IT job market seems to be good here at the moment. Usually all those factors mean a buoyant job market, but it does not seem to be the case with Apex.
I have other skills, and there are quite a few vacancies asking for them. I will not starve but it seems to me that if I want to change job I will have to stop working with Apex, which would be unfortunate for me (and for the community also ;-)
Why is it so? Has anyone got the same impression? Is the Apex job market better in mainland Europe? Any insights welcome...
Thanks
Edith

I think there is not a strong demand because it has replaced small development projects , these are usually in house or done by existing IT outsourcing companies
Even though more large developments are being done , it remains a product geared at Access style development , which also has very little job market

SAP/ABAP Programming Job Market

This may be the wrong forum but I didn't see a more appropriate venue.
I took an SAP training class recently and someone asked the instructor after the class what the ABAP job market was like. His response was something like, "I hope you don't mind working for food." Not very encouraging. I don't know if the guy was just being a jerk or if he was being honest.
Any thoughts?

Steve,
To be Honest ,if you have regular ABAP Exp then billing rate will be low than as you expected .
What ever Rich said is the correct, if you have multiple experience like ABAP with BW or ABAP with some functional experience or
ABAP with CRM,then you get good billing rate.
When you look at Permanenet job then it will be difficult to get job at Client place if you have only ABAP/4 Experience.
Try to look at other modules like BW (Core Knowledge ) ,SD.. it would be better .
Good Luck
Thanks

SAP Job Market

I think the recession is finally over and the job market has picked up. Recruitment seems to be in full flow. How do I know?
The number of do-my-work because im-new-in-abap kind of posts is on an all-time high after a long time.
And you thought I was enquiring about the job market, when you read the title
pk
PS: Just wondering if ABAP General is begging for a blood-bath!

Woah! You had me there for a moment - looking at the subject line and the name of the OP, I thought you had finally gone bonkers
But yeah I think its true, even many of my company's customers are starting up new projects, although it will take quite a while until the market goes up to the 2007 - 2008 level.
As far as the job market goes, I'm not really sure here if its picking up. I mean companies are tentatively putting out feelers and checking if big projects are feasible, so the hiring hasnt really started up is my guess...

What is the current XI job market status

Xi Guys,
I am an experienced Abap developer with just rolled off my first successful XI project.
For my next project I am really want to stay in XI arena and would not like to go back to Abap .
I wish to ask you your opinion on - what is the XI current job market status in the US?
I am hearing different things u2013 some are saying XI is not a good place to be, because there are not that many xi projects and there are too many xi consultants u2013 therefore if job is difficult to find, rate is low, slowdown etc.
Others are saying exactly the opposite -xi market is very good and it is growing , so there are jobs...
If first is true I would not like to waste time and effort. So your inputs as xi gurus will be interesting for me, before jumping to any conclusions.
Of course more info like which exactly XI skills are in better demand and what are the trends now will be also interesting to hear.
Let me know what you think and what is your experience.
Appreciate your replies!
Jon

HI Jon,
Your question is pretty interesting... Well WHO can tell the future...Only GOD...:-))
Todays market is volatile. AS per current market situations we can just forecast about XI requirments, it may be right or may go wrong after few years.
But one think I could assure you is if you have good knowledge then you can servive in any Market situations.
Curently there are many XI consultants available but can you guess how many are of them XI experts...just few of them.
If you see the previous developments in XI arena, then it will ndicate you that you should be updated with latest version of knowledge else you will stay out of the race.
So before getting involve in XI, be sure that you are ready to survive in slag time of Market as well as enjoy it on on peak time.
Tomorrow Market may get down or may be at boom for XI, but there will always be requirment for good XI knowledge
Thanks

SAP UK Job Market in 2009

Hi Everyone,
Hi,
It's a generally asked question. Can anyone of you predict the SAP job market in UK 2009? If you can make out a small line of SAP FI/CO specifically in 2009 would be great. Thank you very much for your time and help.
Reg,

Seems pathetic, hope for the best

Job market question

Hi guys,
I found that all the PORTAL jobs post at Canada are require PORTAL DEVELOPER only. Even can not find a EP job focus on EP admin or configuration.
Can any body tell me why? Now the Portal job market only require developer?
Appreciate any discuss

Hi,
SAP Basis admin can take care of EP J2EE engine administration with some technical training. EP doesn't require that much of administration once setup.
But, Developing involves the knowledge of Java , JSP and all other java applications. Every componies requirement is really complex an they are looking for a collaborative environment.
From my knowledge i would Order the languages involved in portal as,
1) Java based development
2) SAP ABAP based development
3) .NET based development
Java based developers are more preffered since it provides lot of options and to create a good user friendly layout with applets.
ASSIGN POINTS if it helps
