There are a lot of on-line community forums geared toward IT professionals,Windows 7 Ultimate X86 Key, and definitely, plenty of websites dispense job assistance (which includes CIO.com). But I was not conscious of a standalone on the web forum especially geared toward IT professionals' careers until I discovered out about Ivy Tango.  
Ivy Tango is an on the web community where IT experts can provide and acquire job assistance. It launched mid-April 2009 and features like a standard discussion forum in which registered users can post career-related concerns and answers. To register, you will need only provide an e-mail tackle and think of a password. As of June one, Ivy Tango had 187 members and 157 posts. (I am now a member, getting registered as "Meridith.")
Topics for discussion include résumés,Microsoft Office 2007, job offers,Window 7 Product Key, compensation, benefits, dealing with recruiters, consulting and contracting, job boards, networking, social networking, relocation, 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 subject 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, says Gary Zander, Project One's president. 
"Our intent is not to use this [forum] being a means to generate direct dollars," says Zander. "We're doing this as kind of a public service. We're constantly bombarded with concerns from candidates who call us. We thought there was an opportunity to give back to candidates,cd windows7 ultimate key, to create an environment in which they can pose questions and give advice 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, but currently that's not the company's or the forum's focus.
Give Ivy Tango a look. I've identified members' responses to inquiries to be helpful,Office 2007 Standard Key, 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, "This is the kind of thing in which the larger it grows, the better it is for everybody." 
I plan to post my numerous opinions on Ivy Tango. I hope I'll find yours there,Windows 7 Ultimate Key Sale, too.
