We'll help you find pmp exam information Doesn't it seem like our life is made up of exams? Whether it's to study for a career such as becoming a nurse, chiropractor, laywer or cpa. Or if it's related to a medical situation. We often are thinking about exams!

Something common to dealing with any exam is controlling one's stress. We all know that multiple choices on an exam can get us into a swirl of confusion when we have additional anxiety . And in terms of a medical exam we often cannot even hear what's being said when our minds are racing. This destroys our mental clarity and peace of mind as well as judgement.

For the students: Also keep in mind that you can get vouchers which is a pre-paid ticket you get ahead of time for an exam that is at a discount and will save you money. Whether you're considering A+, Security + , MCSE or other exam, save some money!

Current News in the Tech Industry:

Cert-holders Need Soft Skills

Are certifications outdated? That's the conclusion from an analyst who studies the industry. An article on the tech job search site Dice.com quotes David Foote as saying the following:

"We've reached a point in our evolutionary rung that has outdistanced the value of certifications," says David Foote, chief executive and chief research officer for Foote Partners. "It is not that technology is not important, but other skills - especially in customer-facing jobs - are more important."

Although I disagree with the thrust of that quote -- in fact, there are several other folks quoted in the story who affirm the value of certifications -- Foote does make a valuable point. Soft skills, like communication, are becoming increasingly important.

Knowing how to write clear, concise emails, for example, can go a long way toward helping your career. Talking to non-tech-savvy folks in a way that doesn't make them feel stupid is another way. Sending out plenty of warning -- at least two emails -- before making a major computer system change that will affect the way your end-users go about doing their jobs is another.

Do you get my point here? Knowing the technology is only half the battle. You have to remember the other people in your organization, and make things as easy for them as possible with good communication. You might be surprised -- it could be those skills, not your wizardy with Group Policy -- that gets you that promotion and raise.

Did you know that different industries may pay you different salaries for the same IT position?

For example, according to ComputerWorld's 2010 Salary Survey, a technology job in the aerospace and defense industry would likely pay more than the same job in the retail sector.

To help you out with your job research, here's a list of the five highest-paying industries for IT jobs. I've also included links to more information on what it's like to be employed as a tech worker in some of these sectors, and/or how to find these coveted IT jobs:

• aerospace/defense;
• biotechnology;
• government;
• education;
• health/medical services.

A few months ago I did a review of the state-of-the-art 2GiG Go!Control home alarm system. This week I review the Alarm.com Interactive Alarm Monitoring service that is often paired with the 2GiG system.

This combination of equipment and service provide one of the most high-tech and interactive alarm systems available. Check out both reviews to learn more.. Do you have Alarm.com's service? Let us know your opinion of it in the comments section below.
