17 job-hunting resources for Microsoft Certified Professionals
By Microsoft Subnet on Wed, 09/24/08 - 8:55pm.
Caught up the bad economy? Need a new job? There is some good news. Because Windows is still the predominant operating system in the corporate world, IT professionals with Microsoft skills and certifications remain in demand. (We'll bow to Microsoft-speak and use the generally accepted term "MCP" from here on, meaning "Microsoft certified professionals.") Unfortunately, as the job-seeking market floods with MCPs, you may need a fresh approach for your search before you can land that suh-weet offer. To that end, we've compiled a list of Microsoft-specific resources and some off-the-beaten track ideas to help you network with potential employers, find a recruiter or locate the perfect job listing.
Details begin on Page 2 of this post. But to make the list easier to navigate, here's an alphabetized quick-link guide.
