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.

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.

Read these Cryo-Cell testimonials.

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.

request more information about the precious services of Cryo-Cell Cord Blood Bank by visiting their website http://www.cryo-cell.com . There is a lot there which a parent should know.

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.

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 14:23:00 +0000

Storage professionals many of them are starting their own websites, I cant say they are inspired by this blog or website. But im glad to say many people creating their own websites & expressing/sharing their experiences, in the process helping others who are looking for a career,job in this bleak time.

Many of you emailed asking how to start your own website , where to buy your own domain name, where to get dedicated server hosting. How to choose the best & affordable website hosting provider.

For real beginners :
Domain Name is just the address like mystorageinterviewexperiences.com Just address

U need to buy space on a server to store all the articles,images,videos which we call Webserver hosting space. So there are 2 things you need to purchase 1. Domain Name 2. Web hosting.

So I found a cool website which gives u all these basic info about different options to choose while buying a domain name & also website hosting. Here is that site http://webhostinggeeks.com/blog/.

I learnt some real cool lessons on how to choose b/w performance & bandwidth, how to make money using just domain names, cloud hosting, database hosting, exchange hosting (Email server). For those who are eagerly searching for the best yet affordable hosting this is definitely a site to check out. Also for those who are just there to learn do learn a ton. Hope u implement it some day & have your own independent website which you can be proud of.

Make sure to write lots of useful & informative articles & share from your experiences.Storage Technology has still potential even in this recession to get you jobs & a good career. Having your own website with real quality content written definitely gives a huge boost to your resume. Tech Blogs being written & updated by you constantly are a big advantage to give a good impression. Start your own website soon.

VMware Interview Questions with Answers Package What You Get How You Benefit

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 06:05:00 +0000

Vmware Virtualization domain Career Opportunities

This blog or any of the content on this blog is NOT endorsed by Vmware company or any Software company for that matter. Actually Vmware does'nt want us to publish these kinds of articles since it helps people who read this blog & puts in a disadvantage those who dont go through this.This is a personal tech blog & you dont need to take it as an Official blog of any company.I dont work for Vmware, I dont work for any software company hence I'm excercising my freedom of speech/blogging in a constructive manner - to help job seekers.

We have this package "Vmware Interview Questions with Answers Videos & Mindmap" which will be made available soon. I never wrote any article on this blog about what you get in this package. The reason being I never wanted to sell them to people who are NOT serious about their Career,Not serious about an opportunity to work on Vmware's cutting-edge Virtualization Technology. I dont want you to buy this if you are not seriously preparing for Vmware technology job interviews.

1.Vmware Career is NOT for people who are lazy.
2.Vmware technology is not for people who want shortcuts or cheats.
3.Surviving & excelling in Vmware domain career can NOT be done if, YOU are NOT willing to gain real good hands on experience,spend good amount of efforts learning the technology.

Let me explain what is this "Vmware Interview Questions package" or "VMware Career Package" as I'd like to call it. This is not a Cheat sheet. This is not a ripped questions set from a computer generated exam like VCP(for people who donno Vmware Certified Professional Exam). This is not a set of assured Interview Questions. This is not what can Definitely get you a job. This is not the only source which if you cover you are assured of a Vmware Virtualization professional Job.

Then what is this?

"Vmware Career Package" in simple words
is a simple set of documents,videos outlining how is
1. Vmware's Interview process, Vmware hiring expectations
2. What kind of questions to expect ( Reference questions)
3. Which areas You need to perfect
4. Flow chart explaining a typical(Not assured) interview process,number rounds of interviews, what kind of rounds - telephone screening,personal onsite interviews etc.
5. Videos explaining nearly 100+ Questions with Answers.
6. Some reference documents (From different sources - we are not authors/creators of these docs ). These are FREE Bonus docs from other sources we are sending you so you have all essential Vmware related docs in one place.

"Vmware Career Package" is what you buy only after you've done all other necessary interview preparations. This is a package of knowledge consolidated from experiences of people attending Interviews in different companies,on Vmware related job reqs (Job Openings). Just buying this package does NOT assure that You'll definitely get the same kind of Interview rounds (usually there may be more technical rounds & less HR rounds). There is No surety that you'll get same questions asked in your Virtualization interviews. No surety that you will get that job if you JUST restrict yourself in only going through these docs which are part of this package.

Obviously / You know a Tech job interview is a very dynamic process, Interviewers can ask questions on varied topics within Vmware Virtualization or VI3 or ESX or Virtual Center or Vmotion or HA or DRS or other Vmware products,VDI,ACE,... In many instances interviewers ask questions mostly based on your previous Virtualization experience & your previous projects. Then they start asking how far you know their technology . So giving a very short list of assured questions is not possible.

This "Vmware Career Package" is not yet finalized in terms of pricing & other stuff - as we are trying to improve the quality of this package.
Join below special email subscription to keep yourself updated on "Vmware Career Package" or email roger.smithson@gmail.com if u are interested in buying this package. As soon as its available you'll get access to this PAID premium content.

Below Videos have audio quality reduced intentionally since they are part of the PAID content. These are Free previews hence audio quality has been reduced.

Vmware Career is NOT for people who are lazy- Our "Vmware Career Package" is not for lazy - You need to go through all my 100+ questions in doc format along with the Videos & you need to learn/perfect them. Also there are additional docs which you need to study/perfect. If you had lots of hands on experience working on VI3,ESX,VC products that'll be a huge advantage.

Vmware technology is not for people who want shortcuts or cheats. Our "Vmware Career Package" is not some cheatsheet but a detailed list of reference questiosn with Mindmaps/flowchart explaining the whole interview process

Below video is about Google Interview process flowchart created by our team member.This is NOT vmware interview process map but you'll get access to a separate Vmware's Interview process map in PDF along with Video explaination in Paid membership protected webaccess. We are not giving away "Vmware Career package" hence we are not giving away VMware interview process related video/details.

Are you ready to pay $1000 for that ASSURED Vmware Interview Questions package. If you are really serious that you need that, just email roger.smithson@gmail.com & be ready to pay through paypal $1000.

Dont worry too much there'll be videos explaining all the questions hence even if you feel bored to read the 100+ questions you'll find the Videos interesting enough to help you go through all of them.

SAN NAS iSCSI FCIP Product Reviews Best Solutions in the market you wanna read about it - seriously?

noreply@blogger.com (Roger) — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 18:13:00 +0000

What is a Blog - A personal Journal (NOT TO BE TAKEN seriously) . I can blog about anything right. I started this blog to talk & talk only about technology - SAN fascinated me, NAS made me take notice, iSCSI & FCIP im still exploring. So how is that there is very little tech talk happening these days & more personal stuff being written on this blog ?

You tell me you want some more tech stuff or you want personal Career tips.

You tell me you want me to write more on a personal note or a Technical Journal.

Email roger.smithson@gmail.com & shout your thoughts.

Yes I will definitely start writing more technical stuff sooner. When I started this blog what I really wanted to do was write about product reviews,
SAN solutions from different companies , their pros-cons
NAS & its simple/messy configurations

I wanted to Benchmark , I wanted to do performance Testing, I wanted to do End to End Testing on different SAN solutions or Network Data Storage solutions. I wanted to build a team to get all this work done. I wanted to do it on an Enterprise level where people really appreciate the amount of technical writing I publish. But I got blocked due to one major obstacle.

Storage solutions are expensive & the TOP storage companies DO NOT send their products to me for testing. Do email & lemme know the biggies who do the storage solutions reviews I wanna buy their Web portals :)

So here is the deal I am reaching OUT to all Storage Companies Big or Small to send me their Storage products. Give me ample time to Review your products & write a frank , unbiased technical product review on this blog.

Hey you dear blog reader you know of any storage company HR or PR or CEO or CTO who can lend me his storage gear for a couple of days for testing or for simple User level review , if Yes I love can you send them my message. I would love to write about their products or solutions but will they love to send their stuff for review?

OK I can not promise I'm gonna cover every storage product but lemme do whatever I can & you tell me what more areas you want me to cover. I will be glad to do that.

Regards
Storage Enthusiast

[LEGAL DISCLAIMER : Blog author gone crazy, dont believe anything you read on this blog. Dont trust this guy do your own home work. There might be shitty secrets he wants to share with you on this blog about Your Job,Salary,Career but IT AINT GONNA WORK until you DO YOUR ASSIGNMENT, So this guy is not a Guru but he is good in pretending to be ONE]
-------------
[Actual Article starts from below written by the real blog author, if you love these writings email roger.smithson@gmail.com & Get a ton of Tips to help your Career]

Dear Blog Reader thanks a lot for taking time to read some of the posts on this blog. I would love to write more useful stuff. All I ask in return, please let your friends & family know about this blog. Spread the word & get me more friends.

You are all my friends , You are my family :) without you I'm nothing.

Thats true to a large extent. If you dont take time to visit & read the articles regularly then this blog serves no purpose.

Ok, How Can You Get Job

Ten Strong tips to make you Get Job SOONER , ASAP
1. Write down what you want from the next job

2. Write down what salary you expect, what position you expect , Which companies you wanna join.
One of my blog reader wrote like : Salary expected $6500 per month, Position : Virtualization Consultant/Deployment/Planning/Support/Training . Companies he'd love to join : All Top 10 of Fortune 100 companies.

Next thing I ask you to do is, be frank & think practically about this next step.

3. If you really want so many good things for yourself just to get into this new job - How are you equally worthy for that job?????
How competentent are you to demand such salary?
How skilled,experienced,able are you to demand such position
How valuable you yourself are to be choosy of such high expectations/Company?

If you are not already worthy CAN not you work towards the goal to make yourself come upto the expectations of the job. (Ya ya you want them to meet your expectations before you even think of knowing their expectations)
Step 3 is all about understanding the job opening's expectations & make yourself reach to that level

4. Next step - Start developing your Resume/Curriculum Vitae (CV). This is the step every one drags/delays/wants to postpone

5. Make sure you are really good on everything mentioned in the CV/Resume.If not already start building yourself in that direction.

6. Upload the resume/ spread the word/ Network among people who are already in these major companies & ask them to refer you for any open reqs ( Job openings) . Build relation with job consultants/ hiring network / People who can really help you reach out (Like This Blog)

7. Be ready for taking an interview at any time & for any number of interview rounds/stages. There are companies who are in a hurry to hire, there are companies which take months to complete the hiring process, there are companies who never give you clear idea, there are companies who may finish all interview process & give you the offer letter IN A SINGLE DAY - Be ready & Open for every thing. ( Be ready to get bashed in all directions, on all topics you mentioned in your resume )

8. Know how to get Interview Calls if you are Not getting any

9. Give Mock Interview (Simulated Interview) to a friend or old colleague or any one who has the patience to take a technical mock interview for you. Go through a lot, lots of mock interviews. So you know where you suck & where you shine. Improve yourself in all those lacking else you have a long way to go.

10. Start attending the real interviews................ Have patience.

Getting a Job,Clearing all rounds of Job Interview is like marriage have patience till it happens. & Once it happens, once you are in the job you will be wishing when you can have your next marriage :)
[Sorry if I hurt any body's sentiments with such a silly joke, pardon me]

Disclaimer: Marriage is a holy experience of life no-one should miss it . I have no business commenting on that one :)

Ok this article was NOT about marriage but its about how seriously & with what passion you need to prepare yourself for the Job Interview process.

Yes I promise You Will Get a JOB Sooner if you do the above 10 SIMPLE :) steps.

No brainer - its quite simple if you can walk through the whole process. If you just sit on the shore & try to imagine the depth of the ocean ya ya its quite a long process & you are tooo lazy to actually do what really needs to be done.

[[[ One more silly joke : One of my blog reader emailed me & said he will pay me if I can get him a job,I asked him how much, he said a months salary. I told him show me a stock which I can invest 5K in & gives me assured 5K every month.
If you dont understand what I meant lemme simplify this.

Yep I can help you to some extent to get a software job in a considerably good company. But will anyone dare to pay me ahead just for the guidance before they actually get the job - thats the question.(Million Dollar Question)

I asked the same blog reader ok send me a cheque or paypal payment for $5K & I can help you get a job of $5K. But pal you need to work on this & you need to work as much as I ask you to. 'cause once you get that job you've been craving for & are inside the company - I can't come & sit next to you to help you there also. (Practically Impossible right)

Bottom line: You gotta build your own strength . A Mentor (Like me :) ) Can always help. But do you have the money to pay him for the mentoring ????

Dont worry too much about it, Just make sure you do what it takes to prepare yourself well for the actual interview process.

This is not right. Stomper just got VERY dirty.
Click to see their Video where they are giving online money making secrets away for peanuts

Millionaire Secrets Video

I mean real mean and nasty dirty.

You see, I had no idea what they got me into
and quite frankly, I am a bit embarrassed to be
part of it.

Let me explain.

Last week, Andy called me and asked me to offer
a bonus. So I thought I would give a great
product and make everyone's JAW drop.

Little did I know, sneaky Andy and Brad also
called every one of their friends and got them
to ALSO give you a Kick-Ass Bonus for free too.

Yes, you read that right. I said Kick-Ass. And
I said it again.

Heck, when Jeff Johnson gives you a product I
paid $997 for, I think I can say it. And I am
mad about it too.

Oh, why am I so mad?

Because remember I said Brad and Andy called all
their "Other" friends...

* Rich Schefren
* Jeff Johnson
* Ed Dale
* Jeff Mulligan
* Yanik Silver
* Trey Smith
* Eben Pagan
* Brad Callen
* Shawn Casey
* Paul Colligan
* Jeff Walker
* Mike Filsaime

Well, these guys gave bonuses so good, quite frankly,
well... I am embarrassed.

I mean, I still think mine was good. I provided a
case study and bullet points of the EXACT checklist
I use when doing a product launch.

But when I saw what "The Other Guys" gave, I feel...

...how can I say... "Out Classed" here.

Yeah, that's right. Their stuff is so damn good and
you are getting it all for F R E E?

They call the bonus from these 12 people the
"Stomper Dozen"

I call it the "Dirty Dozen"

This is SO GOOD, Stomper has just change the rules.

I mean, just when you thought getting "Stomping The
Search Engines 2.0" for free was good, now...

...well, it's BETTER than F R E E .

How in the world can anyone compete with these guys.

They are just too dirty ;)

You need to get all this NOW, because they are pulling
down this offer very soon.

Make Money Online Videos

And remind me next time Andy asks me for a bonus to
try to out do these other guys. I thought mine was
good until I saw what everyone else is giving.

Please do not get to this page when after they pull it.

You do not want to miss this addition F R E E killer
stuff added by the best of the best of marketers.
