Is there any shortcut for me to get High Salary Job
This is the most frequently asked question. Everyone wants to get a very high paying job. But people have very little time & efforts if I ask them to slog to achieve this. So to answer the question are there any shortcuts. Yes there are but it again requires you to put some more time & effort.
Without time & effort the only short cut I practically see is buying the job OR winning the job using heavy power influence.
Since most can not afford it let me try giving some guidelines to help achieve a better Career progress.
There are high demand job openings in both Storage Technology as well as Virtualization (Server Consolidation)
Companies like EMC2,Network Appliance,IBM,HP,Vmware,Accenture,Cisco,Intel,AMD almost all the giants we can remember everyone is getting heavily in these technologies. All of these companies are hiring & they are hiring not few but hunderds of Professionals.
