Webinar on "Working in US Getting Paid thousands of US dollars per month"

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 00:17:00 +0000

Webinar on "Working in US Getting Paid thousands of US $s per month"

I am seriously writing a book on "How To Get Software Job & How To Double Your Salary in IT Job" .
I thought I need to get more people to contribute their writing,experiences to this book.

So here is a way to encourage all of you to contribute to my Book ( and Im stating now itself that all the writings will be copyrighted by me including any of your contribution :)

As a push to encourage you to contribute Im doing a Live Webinar on a very Interesting Topic.

This is NOT a formal webinar - this is a very informal discussion sharing from some of my experiences.
Disclaimer: For all facts you are encouraged to check all other sources(websites/legal experts/overseas consultants) & not just rely on what I say.
I'm not responsible for your decisions and their consequences -i'm talking about the decisions you take based on what you get to know from this webinar.
You must reach out to other sources of information to get all facts clarified before taking any critical decisions related to your Immigration,Career,Future.
I'm not an expert on this topic but Im sharing few thoughts from my own & my known people's experiences after being in US for a year.

Majority of people are interested to visit USA atleast once as a Tourist.

Some of the people are keen to come to US & Get a Job working as a Software Engineer/IT Professional in an US company.

For those who are interested to "Get into US & work in US" - they have lots of confusion & concerns since no one properly shares info

For such who are interested in this topic I'm planning to do a Live Webinar where you can get to listen on some of the below topics

- Are there still Jobs in US - Yes there are even in recession I've seen companies hiring & lots of interview scheduled ( I will talk about the kinds of jobs for which hiring is still ongoing)
- Is working in US better than your own or any other country companies in terms of experience, tech exposure - definitely - I will elaborate on this in the webinar
- How to get into US so that you are legally eligible to work (Visa stuff - few tips in this area - as its really vast - very little coverage on this area as you will be given links to websites which go in depth on this topic discussion)
- Visa related links (websites which share the info)
- Once you are in US with work visa - How to get job in US (preparing for the interviews)
- How are the interview process in US
- What different options you have to work in US ( types of job - contract, permanent ,internship,freelance - etc) - which ones are better
- How much salary you can expect for say a 3 yr / 4 yr/ 5 yr IT professional
- Is there good scope for technology which you've worked on in india( technologies like Storage,Virtualization,Software testing, Database administration etc)
- How are the interview process
- Joining as a Consultant(on contract) vs Joining as a Fulltime Permanent employee which option is better
- Are there really people being hired even for Fulltime positions - Do you have a chance of getting hired as a permanent employee in an US company ?
- How are the magnitude of companies - Startups, Small enterprises, Large multi nation corporations etc
- Importance of documentation ( Legal papers, your Education documents, your work experience & other legal documents)

There are lots of people who are working in their own city/Country or any other part of their Country -
There are people who love their own city/Country or any other part of Country where they already have a decent paying Job

If you love being in your own city/Country & dont want to leave it then dont bother to attend this webinar.

But if you are seriously thinking of trying your luck in getting to US on work visa & trying for a job in US - then this webinar may give you a little bit of Information.
You still have to take a lot more action, research, followup to actually make it happen - its not simple but its also not impossible

Realise the effort & luck you need to have to get the opportunity of working in US.

So if you are interested to attend this webinar you have 2 options

Option 1 - You need to write 5000 word article ( you can divide it into 500 word 10 articles - each article with 500 words) - Write about your work experience, best & worst moments of your IT work experience, how you struggled to get your job, how you progressed & changed jobs, what you look for in your next job, what are you doing to get your next/dream job

Option 2 - Pay US $ 47 Rs [Limited time discounted price - Actually priced at US $ 197 ] & you dont have to bother writing any article - you can attend the webinar with this payment.
[This limited price holds true only till 24th of this month - Price will be increased after that if you want to attend - so take action & take this opportunity if you feel it worthy]

PLEASE NOTE- After you choose either Option1 or Option2 & attend the webinar whether you are satisfied with the content - discussion of the webinar or NOT(whether you are satisfied with this webinar or not satisfied) - there is NO refund of your payment & no return of article ownership.Once you submit articles we completely own the right to your article & you can legally giveup your rights.

Also - those who choose Option 1 - you are completely giving away the rights of your article to ME. I own complete ownership of your article & I can use it in my book or website or videos. I will try to protect your privacy(will change names & details so some of your personal info is not given away). But I will be completely owning the copyright of your submitted article & You will no longer claim any royalty over it. You must finish the 5000 words article within 5 days as Webinar is going to arranged in a very short notice.

Long back a student of mine paid US $1,000 to learn something from me - he then with some other's guidance went to US & is working now in US with a salary which is US $3000 on hand(take home). Another student of mine paid US $1,200 for a training on a technical topic & he went to Dubai & is working in Dubai & other parts of UAE with a salary of US $3500(take home). Definitely these are NOT typical results. Not everyone can be succesful like them. Because it requires a LOT of hard work , lot of action & a lot of luck - right timing too.
Its just like a high salary job - just because its tough that does not mean you have to stop trying for it. Instead you have to try with as much discipline & dedication as possible - if you dont get it atleast you may improve a bit more from your present situation . I see lot of people who got job spending their life lazily without worrying about future or progress.

Instead you can take some initiative - which MAY or MAY NOT give some results in a long run. Nothing wrong in taking a little risk & trying a little more.

Knowledge is precious. Knowledge is priceless. The fee Im asking to share this knowledge is not a lot.

I may increase the fee very soon & dont complain if you dont get a chance to attend the webinar at this discounted price.

If you are interested email roger.smithson10@gmail.com & write in detail about
Which option you choose to attend this webinar.

Its important that you email below info - for us to better understand you:
Write about which company, technology you are working on, what are your ambition with your job/career, what are your expectations from your career, what are you doing to reach those expectations - what other things you want to share - or discuss. Write as much in detail as possible. Do not write 1 line or in lesser words. The less we know its hard for us to understand you.

Webinar time, date & other details will be sent ahead of time.

incase if you paid/written required articles for this webinar & missed attending it - you will be informed later what alternate option you have. But you MUST try to attend this live webinar as much as possible. DO NOT demand for your time of convenience. Treat this as a one time only webinar & if you miss - you wont get any refund. I may share a small portion of the info (website links for visa) with you.

Email us if you need any more info : roger.smithson10@gmail.com

Confused to Clarity to Comprehension to Comfort to Confident - Fino's Five

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 16:28:00 +0000

here is an email I recieved from Fino - which had some real useful info so thought of sharing with you with Fino's permission. Fino's email is below
--------------------------------------------

I have something I use in my workshops. I teach workshops for customers that are unemployed ... plus I do 1:1 sessions with my customers ... helping them with their resumes, counseling them, and identifying job referrals for them.

Years ago ... I used to teach computer classes at a business college. We had students that would eventually graduate ... after a 6 month program and sometimes after a 9 month program.

I made up something I call:

Fino's Five C's

- Confused
- Clarity
- Comprehension
- Comfort
- Confident

Every week my students would go through Fino's Five C's. Monday ... we'd cover some "totally new material" ... whether in WordPerfect or Lotus 123 or classes like that. Keep in mind ... this was back in 1993 and 1994.

My students would be "totally confused" on Monday as we discussed lots of new topics, etc. By Tuesday after doing some homework on Monday evening ... thinks would look ... "a little bit clearer" ... and the smoke ... would start to clear somewhat ... so to speak.

By Wednesday ... as we were discussing new material ... the students would start to knod their heads ... because by now ... the material was actually starting to make some sort of sense to them ... and they were actually starting to "comprehend" the material.

By Thursday ... I would give my students a quiz. They would take the quiz ... and then work on some more homework ... while I graded everyone's quizes. At the end of class ... we would go over their quizzes ... and use the review ... for prepping for their "test on Friday". My students would go home and study on Thursday evenings.

On Friday ... I would always give a "test". Invariably ... all of my students would ace the test and usually get 95's and 100's on their tests. The would now be totally "confident" on the same material that they found totally "confusing" on the previous Monday.

The following Monday ... they'd be right back in "Confused" mode when we'd take up some totally new material. After a while ... my students ... got comfortable with the fact that they were going to be "confused" on Mondays .... because they knew that by Friday ... they would be in Confident mode.

=====

Here's the cool thing about Fino's Five C's ...

All these years later ... I am still using "Fino's Five C's". I use them now when teaching workshops to our unemployed customers. I let them know that they are going to be "confused" ... when they first come into our centers ... looking for work.

Literally by the end of the week ... after coming to our workshops ... and spending time in our centers ... we will have moved them from 'confused" to "confident" ... and soon they will be getting a new job ... & moving on with their lives and careers.

Fino's Five C's ... helps them "be okay" with the fact that they will be "confused" at first ... but let's them know ... they will get to "confident" ... if they just plug into the system and "allow things to happen" for them.

I've also shown them ... that when they interview for a job & get the job ... as soon as they start their new job ... they will be back to the first "C" in Fino's Five C's ... but "it's okay" ... because it's just a matter of time ... before they will work there way back to the final "C" ... "Confident" ... ;-)

I've had many past students of mine tell me ... "Fino, if it hadn't been for Fino's Five C's ... I may never have graduated" ... ;-)

I hope you find this helpful ... ;-)

From Fear to Confidence from Failure to Success

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 19:37:00 +0000

You may NEVER have read an email like this from anyone else before. Because no one else shares stuff like the way I do . So when you are in touch with me why not reply & write a lengthy email with your thoughts/opinion/reacion to below email from me.

----
I'm writing a book from "Real Life Experiences of Friends on Life,Career,Success advice".

I was struggling to choose a good title - help me to choose a good title - tell me which among below is good - or tell me your own if you have a better title

Some of my title thoughts are
1."From Failure to Success From Fear to Confidence"

2. " Consequences, Confidence - Life & Career "

3. " When no one helped I Still took steps towards Success "

4. " I realized Teaching,Helping is more satisfying than being a Software Engineer"

5. " Mistakes of a Software Engineer's Career Growth "

6. " I Failed a Lot - Software Engineer's personal thoughts "

7. " Emails which changed my Life "

I can write atleast a page on each of above title thus making a small book just out of the titles :) So much I have to share but I fear that I may reveal too much personal info. You tell me frankly am I right or wrong in assuming - People hate to read failure stories what they want is Success stories & steps for success.

Yes its not just about Career its about Life advice too meaning it includes enough personal advices related to non technical stuff just like some of my previous emails.

If you joined recently or if you've not read some of my previous emails
here are some of the topics i covered in my previous emails
1. 10 Tips between your Success and Failure
2. Winners take action Losers get involved in too many pity things

what i intended to say by mentioning above email headlines -- I have a lot of helpful career,life,success advice to share & chances are NO one else shares them with you.

I've learnt this the hardway - people in IT(Software domain) DO NOT share . A lot of IT guys/girls are so scared to tell you anything - they wont give away the best lessons they've learnt from their experience & their mistakes. If you dont believe me check out all your IT friends just ask them - "Can u share few tips to succeed in a IT career" & see their response. I bet you'll hardly get anyone who can even give you a couple of decent tips. If you get anyone you are really lucky.

I'm writing from experiences of friends since I dont want to reveal my personal identity - I like to remain anonymous, I like to keep my identity secret - so I will be mixing lots of real incidents,stories,experiences of friends with my own experiences. Anyone reading the story even if he knows me personally can not trace it back to me - I will be writing like that. Since when Im sharing personal advice including lessons learnt from personal,career failures its not cool to say that I've failed. Sometimes its embarrassing just to even write about these mistakes & their consequences in my own & my friend's lives .

So this book is invaluable for those who take time & who learn,implement lessons from what they learn.

This book is planned to be printed as hard copy & published/will be available for purchase through amazon.com soon. How soon I cant tell for sure right now.

I just wanted to know from you few things

0. What topics you prefer more - Career tips or Personal tips or what else?
0.1 Can you mention some "sentences or areas or topic headlines" on which you want to read more in this book - I can write about it if I find interesting.
0.2 Can you mention how can I make this book a lot more valuable & useful for you & people whom you know well. Tell me how to make this a best seller :)
1. Would you prefer to buy a hardcopy book for $96 or a soft copy of same book for $46
2. Would you like to contribute anything from your experiences to this book - if you contribute you can choose to keep your identity secret or if you prefer you can get your name mentioned to get some recognition.
3. If you are a blogger or someone having websites or good contacts can you help me promote this book - I can reward you for your efforts let me know how we can work for a win-win scenario in this regards.

I'm not writing this book just to be a published author - I'm writing this since I've struggled to get advice & I could not get it when I was badly in need of it. I know for real how a good mentor or good direction/advice can change life for better. This book is like a mentor for those who take it seriously & dive deep to know the real meanings of the words & experiences shared.

Do share your thoughts/comments on this

People make Miracles Happen not Technology - Personal blog post nothing tech on this post

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 05:34:00 +0000

Strange experience I want to share here.I got an email & then I got on a gmail/gtalk chat with a person who emailed me to know more about my storage training.I took sometime to explain him about my Storage training, I also told him about my Vmware virtualization training. We discussed tech stuff for quite sometime. He was an experienced Software professional but unfortunately out of job and was on the look for a job.

Since I felt like helping him with a bit of my time. I offered few small tips to make sure he makes daily progress etc. Then out of nowhere we started discussing about "Brain waves" or "Audio tracks - MP3 audio" which are specially designed to help our brain to relax or to focus well or to remember longer. Then I got to know he knows these stuff a lot more than me.

For those who want to know http://www.WeightLossCelebrity.com here is a website I've recently setup. These are audio tracks with affirmation messages & special sound waves to help people give importance and focus towards their weight loss efforts.

I'm also setting up soon a website with audio tracks(downloadable MP3) files of
Powerful Brainwave for Relaxation
- Audio for Peak Performance
- Audio for Smart Focus
- Audio for working on lot of Data Consolidation
- Audio to help you overcome any Blues(any bad moodswings)

Email me roger.smithson10@gmail.com if you are interested in these.

These are Powerful & proven audios. I'm using them daily myself as I've found good results by their use.

So I started discussing brain waves with this person(whose identity I want to keep a secret) then we discussed about energy healing and karma (Doing Good things to have a good karma & avoiding doing any harm to others so as to avoid a bad karma).

He gave me lot of practical tips, he gave me lot of advice and he helped me in some personal things also (like how to heal some health issues of a very close relative of mine). I do have a lot of faith in these as I've seen their results. I'm not talking voodoo magic here. I'm talking proven science based energy healing. Results of which i've seen in my own life.

Whether you believe it or not I thank god for helping me come across this person who shared things to help me in my personal life.Imagine he reached out to me to ask tech based information and I ended up taking his help on my personal things. God keeps showing lots of miracles and this website is such a small miracle. I never intended to do so many positive things(career advice for strangers) what I have done after starting to write on this website(blog).Lot of people have benefited from this blog and the free information shared on this blog. I know a person who read my blogs & later met me - he said he took hardcopy printouts of all the posts on this blog since he found it useful. He said he saved more time by knowing nuggets from my experience than reading big reference books.(I suggest you read as many big reference books on the topic of your interest- blogs are just blogs they are no way as good as reference books).

But my point is - People make miracles happen. Its not the technology.

So if you are seriously looking for job instead of avoiding reaching out to people and finding an excuse like you are already posting to all job sites(technology) - Go out network(meet and talk) with people. Tell them your situation or explain them what you are looking for in a job. Meet the headhunters or talk to them on phone (DOnt just text chat - Talk on Phone or Meet in person if possible) .

Its People - Not Technology which can make miracles happen in many Job seekers' lives.

So dont be a tech rut. Dont say you've done everything you can to find job sooner. You've not done enough. You've not done anything near enough until you reach out to more people. Whether they give you a positive response or not - reach out to People and you soon may find Miracles happening in your own life too.

Email me roger.smithson10@gmail.com & let me know more about you. But dont be too selfish :) .

Do good for others before you ask anything for yourself.

Why People Fail to get job & Why People keep making the mistakes which avoids them from getting Job

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 17:12:00 +0000

People are a frustrated when they are unemployed. When they are struggling to get a job They loose rational,logical thinking. What most do is follow the same routine which thousands or million other competing job seekers are doing.

Everyone does the same mistake of just uploading some crap resume to 100s of job sites. What people think is they can compensate quantity over quality. They spend all time to forward resumes & hardly work on effective networking with individuals who can help them get Interviews or even Job in some cases.

People are dumb I was dumb I did same mistakes which Im talking about all over here. I made a huge mistake of avoiding job opportunities for myself for too long. Just like all others I hated improvising, I hated optimisation since it was hard work since it was brainy work. I was ready to sit & keep applying to 100s or 1000s of Job postings on Job sites rather than using the same time to make small but effective changes in my resume, in my approach towards the hiring process, in my approach to reaching out to people in my domain, my target companies.

I was the most screwedup shy shitty guy. Since I crumbled with the thoughts of talking to people asking them favours to forward my resume or asking them to refer me for any of their company openings. I really hated asking people favours but I had no choice I saw the reality I saw that I cant make progress until I talk to people, network with people still I was shy for a long long time - Thats the biggest mistake I made & many Jobseekers keep making. I dont know you want to call it a looser's attitude or whatever its just that we are NOT comfortable to socialise we are NOT comfortable to ask favors. We hate to beg others to help us get job - BUT thats the most logical thing to do.

Alas it takes so much time & so much painful experiences before we come out of our shell to take those dreaded steps & do the right thing.

Talk to the ones who can help you get job soon - There is no better way

People help People Get job.

Its not the Job sites Its not your Soft copy of Resume

Its People who help Other People get job. So try to overcome your introvert attitude & be a little more people person everyday.Push yourself to go & talk to people, since its people who interview you & decide to give you that job offer.

Good luck

Storage Interview Questions Live Webinar Register now

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 18:08:00 +0000

Register above if you want to get email notifications of our planned Live Webinars on Storage technology job interview Questions.

We are doing a Live Webinar with a Storage Professional & you can join for FREE this live webinar only if you register in above Free Email notification subscription.

A lot of people email us asking what are some of the technical interview questions asked in Storage technology jobs. So here on this Live Webinar you may find some of those answers.We plan to cover a minimum of 10 or more questions in detail & ofcourse we plan to answer these questions too. So if this is worth your time do register now & also send an email to roger.smithson10@gmail.com if you need more info.

We often do paid Live Webinars for few interested folks where we share more than 30 interview questions for just $97 . Yes these are more than 1 hour Live Private webinars for those who paid to be on the call. People often feel if they can get an idea on how the questions will be they can better prepare for their interviews.

Disclaimers:Focus of these webinars are just to discuss what kind of questions are probably asked - We are not claiming any guarantee that same questions will be asked in your interviews. That may never happen as most of the interviews are very dynamic in nature .It depends on your resume,job requirement, the interviewer - what kind of questions comeup it can never be predicted since these factors are very changing. But we just are discussing few prominant areas which storage job seekers should not ignore.Its like these are basic questions which have some chance of being asked if someone is not asking them its just that they have more tougher,scenario,practical based questions to ask & they have limited to time so they are not asking all questions.

1 line summary - None of these questions may appear in your interview.
Thats not our focus.
Our focus is to let you know - these are some basics make sure to cover these too.But prepare even more exhaustive & prepare much more seriously for your job interviews.

Never attend interviews just based on the questions we are sharing & DO NOT ever comeback to complain these questions did not appear in your interviews.

Registration Web Link: https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/150047865
Our next 6 hour webinar on Software Career Advice - Software testing interview Questions.

Read this if you really have time & interest to know how to do a Live Webinar.
Our team with my support did a Live webinar on Software Career. They covered
topics like "Tips for preparing for a Technical Interview"
"Career opportunities in Software Testing" ,
"Best ways to answer Software Testing Interview Questions with an example of
20 Interview Questions with answers"

So after doing several Live Webinars here is the overall experience.
Doing a Live Webinar definitely requires preparation. Live webinar for people
who are not aware of is like a Live Seminar just that people login on internet/online
some people can use telephone to login too. No matter how people login they all participate on this Online Live Seminar. Those who login using internet have an
advantage over the ones logged in using telephone, which is the ones on computer
get to see the presentation along with hearing the audio.

Then this team did another Live Webinar covering "20 Interview Questions with answers
on Software Testing" which nearly 400+ people registered out of which only 20+ turned up.
This was a little more shocking 'cause the topic was of soo much interest to soo many.

Those who want to listen to this can check out http://www.softwaretestingcareer.com/webinar1/
to see a replay of this webinar.

The reason why very few logged in live may be 'cause the time of webinar was not
suitable to many people & the day being a thursday evening many people were busy with
their work.

So for the 1st Live Webnar on "Career Opportunities in Sw Testing" nearly
300 people registered . These webinars were hosting using Gotowebinar so
interested people first register & then they get an email with a link
which if they click at the time of the webinar they can Login & participate
in the webinar.
So out of 300 people who registered only 40 people actually logged in & participated
in the live webinar. Our team did not get an idea like why so many missed attending
the Live webinar. It may be because this one was done on a Sunday was the most
consoling answer my team got.

Those who want to listen to this can check out http://www.softwaretestingcareer.com/webinar2/
to see a replay of this webinar.

So my team is planning to do some crazy thing this time. They are planning to do
a 6 hour marathon(lengthy) seminar on "Software Testing, Software Career Tips,
Interview Preparation tips all combined"

https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/150047865

This webinar is completely FREE.

Above is the link to register for this 6 hour lengthy webinar on Tech,Career stuff.
Whats the reason they want to do a 6 hour webinar - to accomodate people from different
time zones to login at a convenient time & to get real valuable info. To help those
people who get reminded about the webinar only after it got ended that this is not a
1 or 2 hour webinar to end so early so you still can login & listen however long it
is fine for you to listen. Definitely since they are going to cover lots of technical
stuff related to Software interview preparation, Software project process & things like that
you may NOT to want to miss this.

Take note video replay of this 6 hour webinar will not be made available to general public. So make sure you attend the live webinar without fail.

Atleast this time around my time aims to see 60% of those who register to attend this
Live Webinar event. Please dont feel bad if you get lots of reminder emails about
attending this webinar once you register. Its just that when someone is providing
6 hours of valuable information to help your Career it just benefits if you take time
to login & listen.

let us see how many people will login to this online event.
We will keep you informed for sure.

Thanks for reading this lengthy email. Detailed info if we want to share
takes more sentences sorry.

Hope to see you logged in live on the webinar

Roger and

Web hosting facts you need to know if you want your Own website running

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 07:07:00 +0000

Many of you may love to have your own website. Yes its a cool achievement to have your own website with real good content & lots of fans(visitors of your website). So the essentials to get your own website up & running are a domain name ( www.YourSitename.com) & webhosting.
Domain name is easy to get . Its the webhosting part that you need to know quite a good amount about to get a good offer.

I checked this site for dedicated server & they have lots & lots of info which can get you best website hosting offers. Visiting some of the good blog posts on that site like Reasons to choose unix hosting and Basic ingredients of unix hosting were very informative articles.

I liked this website WebHostingGeeks.COM for they have very technical facts which I value a lot. When I started my website I struggled a lot to learn all these things. I highly encourage people who are interested to have their own website to visit this site WebHostingGeeks.COM & see for themselves various blog articles which are purely on website hosting, domain nmae, website security, E-commerce, SEO/SEM.

For me this website has been a treasure trove of information & they keep updating their site with lots of updates which are really good for newcomers.If you are looking for good website technical information this is the one stop website.

Make sure to keep considerable amount of time to read through all the articles on this site WebHostingGeeks.COM as this info can save you lots of money as well as time. Having complete info when you are choosing your website hosting is essential to your peace of mind.

I care a lot to make sure my website is up all the time 24/7/365 so I did a lot of research when buying my website hosting this website was very helpful for me & I keep referencing this website regularly for hosting/domain/web marketing related info.

If you have a good website hosting provider you can easily setup your website in minutes if not hours so dont hesitate thinking website & etc is too geeky. Its not. Check out the site & get your own website up & running in less than an hour WebHostingGeeks.COM.

Interview Questions in Storage technology area are not that easy to predict

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:37:00 +0000

It does not help if you just prepare for a set of interview questions. Specifically in a technology domain like Storage or even Virtualization you need to have strong foundation. You should have got hands on experience. Also you should have spent time to learn many things which can be termed as advance technical skill. Some people just collect interview questions & start attending interviews JUST on the basis of those questions. Its worse. True some questions may repeat. But more than depending on few qustions why not spend some solid hours,days, months if time is available to perfect what you are working on.

I've seen people coming from real experience background in storage not able to clearly explain some of the basics. I've also seen people in FC segment not being aware of anything from iSCSI or FCOE areas. Also many people have forgotten the good old Clariion they just know latest stuff & latest CAS etc.

I would always encourage you to prepare seriously for your storage interviews. Having few questions as refence is fine but in Storage any topic you take can become an interview question. So stop searching for interview questions since I know you came here searching for that in Google. Google thankfully lists this website in Top 1 position for "storage interview questions". I've been forced by some of the blog readers to post more interview questions. So before I do that I just want you to start reading "Storage Complete Reference" by Tata McGraw hill. Also get as much handson experience as possible as there is no replacement for that.

Interview questions most frequently asked for Storage pros but this is just the basics

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:30:00 +0000

Many Storage job interviewer ask one or other question about Luns, Lun management, Lun secure,Lun relocation, Lun replication. But the below one is the most frequently asked question in any storage technology interview. So better you get the basics right.

Interview question: What is Lun Mapping,Lun Masking,Persistent Binding,Fabric Zoning.All these are with respect to a FC SAN array. (Fibre Channel Storage Area Network Array)

LUN Mapping:
LUN Mapping is host-centric method of storage LUN visibility management. LUN Mapping selectively allows a system administrator to scan for specified SCSI targets and LUNs at storage-driver boot time and to ignore selectively non-specified SCSI targets and LUNs.

The advantage of LUN Mapping is that it provides a level of security management in SANs where LUN Masking is not an option, perhaps because it is not supported
on the storage hardware.

The disadvantage is that LUN Mapping is configured and enabled on a host-by-host basis. It requires good coordination among the administrators of the systems sharing the storage, which ensures that only one host sees certain storage unless planned, as in a clustered server configuration.

LUN Masking:
LUN Masking is RAID storage subsystem-centric method of LUN visibility management to
hosts or servers.

LUN Masking makes sure that each RAID controller is configured to allow each host to see only a subset of the actual LUN's & hide all other LUNs from it. so all connected hosts will see only those LUNs that are assigned to them.

The advantage of LUN Masking is easy to implement in storage subsystems and no changes needed in Hosts or servers that are connected to them.
The disadvantage is multi-vendor devices might be present in the real SAN networks & not all the vendors implemented in same way.

Persistent Binding:
It is another host-centric method. This can be implemented in Operating systems (OS) by assigning specific SCSI-Target IDs to the Storage LUNs.

Fabric Zoning:
It is Network-centric method & basically Switch (or Fabric) present in the SAN networks have the capability to allow grouping of Ports from Storage Sub-systems to Connected Hosts in the form of Zoning.
The disadvantage is that Fabric zoning cannot mask individual LUNs that sit behind a port. All hosts connected to the same port will see all the LUNs addressed through that port.

NOTE:
Each of these Host-centric, Storage centric & switch-centric methods provide their own benifits & drawbacks. Usually to provide very good solution, combination of any two methods will be implemented in real SAN networks.

I like Mobile Office Trailers know more about Construction Trailers

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:59:00 +0000

Recently I was in a situation where I needed office in a specific place.I wanted my office set fast & had to set it in one specific spot So I went for Mobile office using trailers.Since Im from charlotte I enquired around & found Acton Mobile, a company dealing with Construction Trailers.

I loved what they provided me since it gave so many advantages. The office was set within a week of me finishing their paper work & I was able to move to other priorities.Ofcourse I got the permit & had the utilities officer from my locality do the inspection & mark the spot where the trailer can be set. I got the data jacks & some electricals done. Then it was a complete office & it helped get my work done. So I thought of sharing about the experience of getting such a nice service & also product. Here are some of the advantages of Mobile office trailers from Acton company Construction Trailers Charlotte

- Built-in plan tables
- Built-in desks with file cabinets
- Heat and air conditioning
- Most units have built-in restrooms (Water & sewer hook-ups required) Available options include:
- Steps (OHSA)
- Handicapped Ramps (ADA)
- Anchors (Tie-downs)
- Skirting
- Security Packages

It really helps for someone who needs office movable & also flexible to be setup when needed.I had lots of questions before getting this service so I went over this company's website & specifically their frequently asked questions here http://www.actonmobile.com/faq.php. That answered many of my questions. I took their service on lease for only few months so it also saved me quite a lot of money.

Incase if you are interested to know more Acton Mobile Industries in Charlotte, North Carolina is a provider of quality mobile offices, construction trailers, and custom modular buildings. They are located at 2715 Starita Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. To inquire further about their products and services please them us a call, email, or just navigate their website here Construction Trailers Charlotte

After a long long time im hearing some good news - People are being Hired

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:44:00 +0000

I was waiting from a long time to hear news like this.
Yes Companies have started hiring again. Joining the hiring trend are companies starting from Dell,Sun Microsystems,IBM,HP,NetApp,EMC2,Vmware,Cisco,Brocade.

Thats like message from heaven for many of the people who've been struggling just to get their resumes shortlisted. Yes I understand a lot of people's situation. They've been applying like hell but the response was not at all there.I just was getting many emails saying they are not getting interview schedules. They are not being called for any interviews. There was a lot of frustration growing among people who were in a stable domain like Storage technology.

But things are starting to brighten up now.

I'm getting more emails now saying their resume has been shortlisted,they are getting interview schedules, also I got 2 emails saying they got their offer letters & joining in next 15 days. Thats like the best news I've heard from people who read this blog over a long time. Im glad you guys made it. Help others too.

Just to keep you all updated openings are coming up but NOT in large numbers, its appearning more like strategic hirings or replacement hiring. But still atleast people are getting jobs thats what matters to me.

Email me about your job search process in detail & we'll see if there is any way we can be of some help. Remember interviews are dynamic processes so dont just go by theory or small set of questions.

Are EMC NetApp IBM hiring Storage professionals - Yes they do

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:35:00 +0000

EMC,NetApp,IBM all these companies were in news sometime back for massive layoffs. Yes even 100 people being laid off I call as massive. I hate Layoffs as much as you do. But this post is not about layoffs. I've also got news that all these companies are hiring for Storage technology openings. There are openings for Storage administrators, Storage Architects, Storage consultants, Storage support engineers.

As per my source the hiring is mainly for experienced pros with more than 3 years experience in this core field. Atleast there is some good news so I thought of sharing with you all.

Dont loose hope I got news that even HP,Accenture are hiring for Storage technology, Data Center Admin roles. Just make your job hunt accelerate with more speed. I'll get you more details soon on which other storage companies are hiring now.

Main Tip : For sure upload your resumes to Major Job websites. Not just that apply through the career sections of each of these Company websites. Also reach out more to hiring consultants(head hunters) the more you network the better in these times.

Interviews for these openings are going little more tough, there will be more rounds of technical interviews. Dont expect it to be easy & dont neglect your interview preparations. There will be more emphasis on practical handson experience coupled with good skill in troubleshooting & advanced configurations, support issues awareness. Keep trying & dont loose hope.

Bond between a mother & her baby is beyond words a post for expectant mothers

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 17:46:00 +0000

This post is dedicated to all mothers. I just want to show that you are invaluable. I dont want this website to be just junky technical hence sharing some of the social thoughts too.My brother is expecting a baby. When I see his & his wife's preparations, anxiety,dreaming I get overwhelmed.Parenthood is holy, its also a challenge. Aptly said Joys of parenthood can never be expressed in words.

He spends more time planning for his expected baby than he does for himself.His wife too is happy that they are having a baby after soo many years after their marriage. They both were busy in their work & now something other than work has been of importance.Sometimes I feel they are acting like babies in their excitement & tantrums to buy ahead of time all the essential clothes,cradle,soft mats.... I'm really happy seeing them. I frankly feel I've never seen them so happy before. They are saying in silence words "I Love this experience".

This is an emotional & sensitive subject as its also an essential subject considering your baby's future & health. So I think its important that expectant parents should be aware of cord blood. By storing baby’s umbilical cord blood, parents can take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to preserve their baby’s valuable stem cells. Stem cells from umbilical cord blood are known to treat more than 75 diseases, and have been used in more than 10,000 transplants worldwide. From blood disorders, malignancies, immunodeficiencies and other inherited disorders, to promising developments on the horizon for dozens of new potential uses in the near future, stems cells are helping people all over the world.Im talking about stem cells & why its important for your baby's future. Every parent should know about cord blood, if you are an expectant parent take time to know about it at Cryo-Cell. Its worth all the time.

Its important that you know more about Cryo-Cell Cord Blood Bank services. Before the birth of your baby & after the birth of your baby this service helps in several scenarios.preserving them at birth may provide future opportunities for medical treatments that may not otherwise exist.This process is beneficial to other children in the family too.

There are many precautions & pre-paredness a parent must do & I believe this one is important if you can understand its advantages. This company is providing services in this area get to know more about its current services, current offers .

Parenthood is a real joy I wish you a very happy experience of Parenthood when you are ready for it.

Storage Company Job Interview experience Interview Questions & Signs that you got the job

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 17:32:00 +0000

People often email with these questions so I'll give brief answers to them

1. Which companies are hiring now. What kind of openings are there.
Many storage companies (more than 40% are still hiring) but it may not be for entry level openings. Mid level,higher management is whats being hired right now. But give a good fight & u may get ur shot.
Several openings starting from consultant, support engineer,L2/L3, Developer, Quality, Implementation,Pre Sales lots of options are there.But check out your city specific job portal for the latest info. As far as I got the info through out US though there is a slump Storage pros are still in demand (those who have good years of experience & expertise).

2. How much is being paid? What is the pay package?

Will take a day to update on this since Im waiting for some inputs.

3. How are the interview process in these Storage Companies?
Expect & be ready for several technical interview rounds. Manager/ above rounds are nothing compared to the kind of bashing you'll recieve at tech rounds. So prepare well. Nothing to fear they treat you nice & gentle. But they want you to give the expected solutions/answers.

Dont expect any company hiring for not less than 3 tech rounds. Some companies do 7 rounds or more. Its a norm ,dont panic or act wierd when they ask you to wait a whole day before calling for a 40 min tech discussion.

4. Interview questions being asked in such Storage job interviews.
Interview is a very dynamic process,they mainly ask based on your experience, prior projects,strengths, tech accomplishments, Skillset they need for the opening.
