Why not take the road less travelled in fast tracking your Java/JEE career?

"I have read several technical books over the last few years, but this one was entirely different. The questions and answers format was something which I had not seen in any other book and wasn't sure if would help either.
But I was wrong. The objective of the authors is great, to help Job seekers as well as interviewers; and I think they have succeeded in doing so. They have compiled several questions and answers, and also have very good tips on how to face an interview." By Meera Subbarao at IT Book Zone

About the author: My Blog
A mechanical engineer, who changed his career to Java/J2EE based software development in 1999. In the last 5 years of contracting, he has worked for 5 different organizations both medium and large.

More review comments......
Don't get overly hung up on certifications
certification(s) alone is not enough to find your next job or fast track your career. Why?
- Employers are only interested in what you can contribute and how you can add value not how many certifications you have. How often do you see the Java certification as a mandatory requirement in job advertisements or specifications?
|
- How can you stand out from your competition when others do have similar certifications? This is where you need to effectively market both your technical & non-technical skills in your resume as well as in the job interviews by understanding the key areas the employers are interested in.

How can this book help you?
In my experience, it does not really matter, how many years of experience you have, but what really matters is how much you know and how well you perform to impress your superiors within your organization and/or how well you impress your Java/JEE Job Interviewers.
The contents of this book can help you:
- progress from just a Java/JEE job to a career in Java/JEE sooner as it helped me to progress from being a mechanical engineer to a senior Java/JEE developer in 3 years and then to a technical lead/designer in 4-5 years.
|
|
|
- get multiple job offers and consequently empowering you to negotiate your salary or rates and pick the ideal job based on the type of role, company, technology used etc.

This is not meant to be a Java/JEE interview/career building cram book. You need to pro-actively learn the core concepts, key areas, tips and strategies in this book and then apply, analyse & experience them to succeed in your career sooner .
Does your Java/JEE Resume stand out from the competition? Do you get to attend multiple job interviews?
To separate yourself from the mob of Java/JEE developers, it is vital that you have that little something extra on your Resume. Stay tuned for a more comprehensive Java/JEE Resume Companion.
This Java/JEE career companion will guide and motivate you to develop the "important qualities of a good Java/JEE practitioner" like:
- Passion! Passion!! Passion!!! to build quality Java/JEE systems and to learn the core concepts/key areas.
- Ability to understand potential failures (due to transactional issues, concurrency issues, design issues etc).
- Ability to look at things at a high level as well as drill down to details when required.
- Ability to analyse What if scenarios -- "What if I want to support a non web client?"
- Ability to think not only from the technology perspective but also from the business perspective.
- Curiosity to learn (e.g. Emerging technologies like Spring, Hibernate, TDD etc. ).
- Right attitude (Avoid I know it all attitude) and good communication skills.
So, with this book you can not only "talk the talk" but also can "walk the walk".
"Keeping your skills/knowledge/experience current, relevant, and sharp is the way to have a real IT job security - Companies are under too much pressure to be lean and flexible (i.e. layoffs, downsizing, reorgs etc), so workers have to be, too (i.e. constantly on the alert for new job possibilities). All it takes is to invest a good 30-45 minutes a day while commuting to work or before retiring to bed or any other spare/suitable time in your career progression".
"Reach outside your comfort zone and carve out your own path in life's journey and progress with no boundaries"
