Good evening guys,
Yesterday, insurance giant AIG announced a $62 billion loss for the fourth quarter of 2008. 62 BILLION DOLLARS! That's more than Bill Gates' net worth. It would pay A-Rod's salary 2,200 times. To lose $62 billion yourself, you'd have to spend $1 million every day for the next 169 years. AIG managed to do it in just 92 days.
Losses like these cause problems that are going to take a long time to solve. It's easy to poke fun, but failures like AIG have resulted in shrinking stock values and over 2 million job losses in just a few months. With unemployment reaching record numbers, staying employed is going to be a big problem for most people reading this for the next 12-18 months.

One of our tips is that you should get certified now. Even if you have a job, updating your resume now will help you bounce back if the worst happens. Right now, PrepLogic has an MCSE training program that can help. I won't go into all the details, our people on the phone can do that better than I can. But it amounts to this; you get complete training for three specialized MCSE certifications, the most valued certification in the industry. And we pay the $125 price for all 10 exams you have to take.

Compared to other industries, IT has fared well. The March 3 broadcast of CNN Newsroom had a feature called "Who's Hiring?" They reported that "Information Technology Management Specialist" is the #5 Occupation in Demand according to USAJOBS.gov. There's still strong demand for your skills. But as this recession advances, there is going to be more competition. Both from within the industry, and from the millions of unemployed people who've gotten wind that IT is hiring.
Maybe you've been lucky, only taken a dent to your 401K. Still, the truth is that no job is truly secure this year. Take some time and consider your credentials. Will they stand up to scrutiny? If you're not sure that they will or have any questions about this, give us a call at 1-800-418-6789.
Have a good night,
