What's next?; Considerations to decide on the next steps in career path
"So, what's next?
That is the question that I fear, simply because I have no answer. I remember when it was an easy question because I didn't have the choice. At school, your path is clear. Your program of study is determined for you, and you travel from one row to another year. Overtime, you are allowed a few privileges. You can start to select some courses and teachers and choose what semester to take different classes. Every now and then you may regret this category art that you registered, but the consequences for a poor class selection are simply boredom or a below average grade.
Increase of consequences of decision making
As you get older, increasing choices, increases in doubt, and the stakes for bad choices are triggered. The decision to go to College, pursue a vocation or joining the armed forces is difficult for many high school graduates. Even after that decision is made it must be lingering doubt. College majors are a roll of the dice. Most of the people don't stop in the career field they studied. Not that my science policy major only has not served me well... But this major college still offers a guide of course study and provides options for "what's next."
Increase in freedom and doubt sets in
You finally enter the labour market, and it's often where you see the ends of the predefined path. He has a great sense of liberation that comes with this new adventure. The world is yours for the taking. Everything is possible. And this freedom of choice has expanded in recent years. When I look at Baby Boomers, many of them had some kind of career path set before them. There was a focus on the scale of the company of mountaineering. This has changed. Generation y and the Gen Y discover their career as a gym jungle of sorts, swinging a new project and opportunity to another.
But does respond to old age "where you see yourself in five years?" question much more difficult. For many of us, the jobs we have 5 years do not currently exist. Personally, career opportunities, I've had over the past ten years have been made by oneself. I loved.
Course-correct what's next
So, how do you answer what's next?
This is a great post. I have struggled with the question of whether I should return to school and get my MBA. I don't know the end of the day if he will really get me where I am trying to go - honestly, I'm not really sure what it is! I think it's a good idea to take a little at a time and take a course or do some self-training on an area that you are interested in. I think that it will lead you to your next step or confirm that you are not on the right track to allow you to take a step back and re-evaluate. I think it is really always the key. Take the time to really think about what aspects of your work that you enjoy and the tasks that you would be fine with leaving behind forever. And of course, above all, stop talking about what you want to do or learn and just go out and do it!

What is the next step before programming your site 'on-line'
Hello
I created a Web site and I wanted to get feedback on what my next step would be before you download my Web site on the host server. It is all ready to go live I just figured there's probably some tests and validate that I need to do about it to make sure that everything works as it should. So, I wanted to know what exactly are the next steps? Are there resources (ie: a Web site, etc.) out there on the web that can help me make this as painless as possible? I'm still fairly new to simple web design so much better.
Thank you!

Hi, very new for the virtual machine. I need help on what type of software (vmware), need and the first steps of the installation.
Current configuration: a portable 3 separate HD, 1 computer = Windows 7, 2 = XP, 3 is Linux RH. I have manually swap HD to work on each operating system.
Req: A laptop with Windows 7 as main OS and two other OS (XP and Linux) Guest.
(1) I prefer not to install OS and the entire application again for the guest operating system (XP and linux), will like to convert, copy, etc.
(2) can I install multiple OS (XP) for testing of applications and then delete them?
(3) can I use a different version of an application in a guest operating system?
The software that I need to buy:
VMware workstation 7.1
Version of the converted VMware? (this may be free, I think)
ThinApp 4. ???
If these are vmware software that I need is a step by step installation, in particular of the convert.
Thank you, ralph
Hi Raoul,.
Welcome to the forums.
VMware vCenter Converter Standalone is a free download that is accessible to everyone, so you can use it to convert your existing machines.
For testing purposes, you can create a virtual machine "or" with all standard applications, and then use the function 'linked-clone"of the workstation. In this way, you can have several machines quickly with the same basic configuration to test different applications.
It is more complicated to have multiple versions of the same application in a single virtual machine. ThinApp seems to be the solution, but it should require the application packages (I have no experience with ThinApp) construction. It's a bit complicated just to test. Way the easiest would be to create a new virtual machine for each version of the application.
Workstation and the converter are very easy to install if you use a standard configuration.
Good luck.

I just did the exam 1Z0-047 - what's next?
I just spent my first (internationally recognized) exam Oracle 1Z0-047. Hmmm, I got 83%. I think its good since its my first review, I felt I could do better up to 90% +. This article shows 9 chips of topics can I show review. The subjects, they mentioned that I know really well. I'll take the exam again? I don't think it's a big deal, probably 83% is good. Anyway, the test centre gave me a paper printed from my total score. They said that oracle will send another Certification to my address. Which Certification is official? The one that was given to me by the exam Center is a printed cert (black and point). We must I show employers?
I'm happy but also sad because I knew that the mistakes I made are stupid (I want to get rid of the bullet points argghhhh) + I did the review after having at least 3 months College hands on experience.Congratulations. You did, and that's all that matters (except your pride).
Realize that issues are sometimes sensitive - the wording is intended to encourage the wrong answer, unless you're very careful. Thus, the "bullet points" can be simply a way of telling you to read more carefully.
Having said that - your next step is to decide what other certifications you want. http://education.Oracle.com/pls/web_prod-PLQ-dad/db_pages.GetPage?page_id=141 and this depends on if you want to become an administrator/operator or a developer. (To take?-ask a career Advisor, not us.)
As for who you show your employer - does not display unless asked. And when you get from Oracle, is the official, it's as well as to the need to present a passport.

I created a Newsletter in Dreamweaver. I want to now the sales team to use this model in emails it. What is my next step?
I understand that when I open the html file in a browser, I can easily do a select all, copy and then paste into the body of the email. But if I explain that to the sales team, I am sure that a few of them go wrong select it and the email will get all messed up. This isn't a good solution.
I need to find an easy way for them to be able to implement this in email here. I've heard of the file called FTO that outlook uses to import these models of OTF, but not all the guys in sales use outlook.
Please help, any suggestions?
Thank you!!!
I would never recommend allowing HTML emails to be sent from Outlook. Have you considered investing in an email marketing or marketing automation solution? For a newsletter in particular, the quantity of reports and an overview of these solutions, you can collect is invaluable. If you use one of these tools, you can insert a record or sometimes attach to a CRM SYSTEM like Salesforce and make it look like the representative signed it. Some examples of different solutions:

I need help please. (what is the next step after installing Vcenter?)
Dear professionals
I installed ESXi 5.5, Vsphere client, AD, SQL, SSO, inventory, service, web client Vsphere and Vcenter server.
as you can see FRO the attached photo, I just connected to vcenter server and now I don't know what to do next.
Also, should I connect the view of the Horizon to the Vcenter? How? and what is the relationship between Horizon view the vCenter.
Please me advice what to do, please guide me.
Thank you very much
naoufl
The next step, you will want to do is create an object of data center - it's under this inventory you will add your hosts - ESXi
vCenetr, this is what allows you to centrally manage your environment - view Horizon allows you to create an environment to host virtual offices - Horizon view interacts with vCenter understand the environment and to know what ESXi hosts there are available - this will provide more insight.
