Resume and Career Tips

I've been fairly lucky in my choice of jobs for the past 10 years that I haven't had to update my resume and change jobs as frequent as most in my field. Though, I found a couple of interesting articles that may prove helpful if the time does arise. The tech industry moves very fast and it's easy to get out-of-touch with reality in the job market.

There are a couple nice articles over at NetworkWorld.com related to resumes. The first is "5 IT Skills That Won't Boost Your Salary." The other is "Wanted: 10 IT skills employers need today."

I personally, will be doing a thorough over-haul of my resume and even touch up on some training and research to make sure I'm still viably relevant to the market.

How to set Etrade default Home Page

Image
 This took me a few weeks, until I realized what had happened. When logging into my Etrade account, it used to default to the Accounts page by default. While logged in, if you click the top left corner Etrade logo, it would take you to the default home page.  Needless to say a while back, it started defaulting to Options Trading and not Accounts. I checked every menu and every personal settings and account settings, but nothing to set the HOME page. Low-and-behold, it turns out to be during the LOGIN Page.   There is a drop-down option you can select the default HOME page. See below. Good Luck and happy trading.
