Thanks to holiday season vacation schedules it took Microsoft Subnet a while to track down the winners of our November giveaways but we finally did and are pleased to announce them. Congratulations go out to Steven Goldfein (pictured), a network administrator in the Sacramento Area. He won a Microsoft Training course from New Horizons Computer Learning Centers worth up $2,500. Goldfein plans to use his free training to learn about Microsoft Exchange 2008, possibly even applying it toward an Exchange 2008 certification — he currently holds an Exchange 2003 cert. He is in certification high drive right now, as he is also studying for his first Cisco certification.
Goldfein won this month’s training by correctly answering the following trivia question:
Question: According to the October 15 blog post of Andrew Mikols , there are three ways to advance your career in tough times. What are the three ways?
Answer: Be patient, diversify your career, network.
