There are plenty of on-line discussion boards geared toward IT specialists, and surely, plenty of sites dispense profession guidance (such as CIO.com). But I used to be not conscious of a standalone online forum specially geared toward IT professionals' careers right up until I found out about Ivy Tango.
Ivy Tango is an on the web local community where IT experts can provide and obtain profession advice. It released mid-April 2009 and functions as being a simple discussion forum in which registered customers can publish career-related concerns and answers. To register,
Windows Enterprise Product Key, you need only provide an e-mail address and think of a password. As of June one, Ivy Tango had 187 members and 157 posts. (I'm now a member, having registered as "Meridith.")
Topics for discussion include résumés, job offers, compensation, benefits, dealing with recruiters, consulting and contracting, job boards, networking, social networking, relocation,
Office Ultimate 2007 Key, immigration, and on the job issues (such as dealing with cranky co-workers).
Among the more spirited discussions, members are debating whether to take a job that's being offered or to wait for a better offer; how to ask for a raise in a recession (a theme I've addressed); and whether to report an obnoxious HR person to a hiring manager.
Ivy Tango was created by Project One, an IT consulting and staffing firm. For now, Ivy Tango is simply a PR vehicle for Project One; the company is not trying to make money off the forum,

"Our intent is not to use this [forum] as being a means to generate direct dollars," says Zander. "We're doing this as kind of the public service. We're constantly bombarded with concerns from candidates who call us. We thought there was an opportunity to give back to candidates, to create an environment where they can pose queries and give guidance to one another."
If Ivy Tango takes off and its membership grows, Zander says Project One might use it to get marketing and sales leads,

Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus, but currently that's not the company's or the forum's focus.
Give Ivy Tango a look. I've found members' responses to queries to be helpful, practical and good-natured. Members seem genuinely interested in sharing their two cents and helping others--always a good sign in a forum. As Zander says,

I plan to publish my numerous opinions on Ivy Tango. I hope I'll find yours there, too.
