A snapshot of the Lotus Notes hiring landscape (continued)
In the meantime, ride out this wave with a few helpful hints:
- Keep your technologies current: if not working in an R5 environment, try to take classes. If you have no Web development experience, start developing sites on the side.
- Get certified and keep it current: candidates with certifications get hired faster and often get paid more. If you're R4 certified, get updated. Most employers are using R5 and will look for that training.
Most importantly, keep a positive attitude. If you're working, don't frown; companies lay off those who seem unhappy. If you're between positions, smile; companies like to hire cheerful people. Keep smiling…until next time.
