Career Opportunities in Information Technology & IT-Healthcare

Though the economy has softened and headlines warn of layoffs, there are still jobs out there. With the aging of the US population, increasing emphasis on healthcare reform and mandates to implement streamlined medial records and information systems, the Healthcare and IT industries are viewed by many as one of the areas that will resist the current recessionary forces. One of the only sectors to add jobs through the early part of 2009 was the healthcare industry which added 24,000 jobs in May 2009.

Whether you are a recent graduate, contemplating college or considering a mid career change, this session will provide you with an insider view on job opportunities and what is happening in the IT and Healthcare sectors. Come to the next panel discussion in the monthly ISW Seminar series to find out more about:

  • What are the opportunities for growth and what do employers look for when hiring?
  • What strategies work in a challenging job market?
  • Where are the opportunities today in IT and related fields?

Italian Football Refs banned from Facebook

April 4th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Collabor, Enterprise 2.0, Social Community, Web 2.0, Work 2.0 by Sandeep Kaujalgi

Here we go again.

In addition to the previously published “bans” and “code of conduct” on social media discussed on this blog here, here and here, Techcrunch has published a piece titled Italian Football Referees Banned From Using Social Media.

In the article and the linked Channel 4 report, Techcrunch goes on to discuss the background, the reasons and the impact of this action.

Once again, this is re-confirmation of why professional organizations and enterprises, while using “social media” like facebook, orkut, etc will still need to work on creating their own networks, where there can be some element of control on the information dissipated.

Look, we are all for free information - but there are some things that some organizations don’t want to be available to the public (for justifiable or unjustifiable reasons) and they should have the option to do what they want. And others should have the option to critic. Its all fair.

You cannot be different by doing what everybody else is doing.
