英文小故事

Pig or Witch
A man is driving up a steep, narrow mountain road. A woman is driving down the same road. As they pass each other, the woman leans out of the window and yells "PIG!!" The man immediately leans out of his window and replies, "WITCH(女巫)!!" They each continue on their way, and as the man rounds the next corner, he crashes into a pig in the middle of the road. If only men would listen.

英文小故事

Now We Run
A priest is walking down the street one day when he notices a very small boy trying to press a doorbell on a house across the street. However, the boy is very small and the doorbell is too high for him to reach. After watching the boys efforts for some time, the priest moves closer to the boy's position. He steps smartly across the street, walks up behind the little fellow and, placing his hand kindly on the child's shoulder leans over and gives the doorbell a sold ring. Crouching down to the child's level, the priest smiles benevolently and asks, "And now what, my little man?" To which the boy replies, "Now we run!"

Microsoft Certification

Abstract
Using data from a Microsoft survey and the Current Population Survey, we examine the returns to Microsoft Certification. The formal structure of Microsoft Certification provides a well documented external measure of cnputer skills rather than the ad-hoc self reports used in other research. We find that the wage premium for MS certification may be over 30% in the full labor market. This measure, using all workers as the reference, likely captures broad skills generally associated with cnputer use.
When certificate holders are cnpared to only individuals in IT occupations, the overall wage premium falls to a range of 3-7%. The difference in these two measures captures the return to general cnputer skills and general human capital associated with those skills. We find that the hierarchical structure of Microsoft Certification is reflected in the wage premium associated with specific certificates, further supporting the claim that these certificates measure skills valued in the labor market. We also find that different IT ccupations have different values for these skills. The similarity between the return to certification and the return to general education is examined and we concluded that certification measures specific human capital while years of education measure a more general human capital.

I Drop my Weight From Skipping
Mr. Smith was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a diet. "I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost 5 pounds." When Mr. Smith returned, he had lost nearly 20 pounds. "Why, that's amazing!" the doctor said, "Did you follow my instructions?" Mr. Smith nodded. "I'll tell you 'though, I thought I was going to drop dead by the end of that 3rd day." "From hunger, you mean?" "No, from skipping! (note: "skip" has two meanings 1) jump 2) stop doing something)

Study Shows Downside of IT Certification

Study Shows Downside of IT Certification
Long seen as a method to maximize employment opportunities and salaries in the post-dot-com-bust era, a study released today finds that pay for certified IT skills falls short of the pay for non-certified skills.

The Q1 2006 Hot Technical Skills and Certifications Pay Index, released April 25 by Foote Partners, a New Canaan, Conn., IT compensation and workforce management firm, found that pay premiums for non-certified IT skills grew three times faster than for certified ones in a six-month period spanning 2005-2006.

The study suggests that there has been a change in employers' acceptance of the value of non-certified tech skills versus certifications in maintaining competitive pay for their workers.

"This is the first time skills have trumped certifications since our firm began surveying tech skills pay in 2000," said David Foote, president and chief research office for the workforce research and consulting firm, in a statement.

"Eighteen months ago, it was all about certifications for IT workers as employers stumbled out of the wreckage of an economic recession, looking to start hiring again.

"This is a clear indication that employers are not placing the same emphasis on certifications that they once did. Perhaps more to the point, they are finding other qualities of IT professionals more critical to their businesses going forward, and they are willing to pay more for those."

Tracking the market value of 212 IT skills and certifications , premium pay for 103 non-certified skills averaged 7.1 percent of the base salary for a single skill. This number was up from 6.8 percent in Q1 2005, and 6.6 percent in Q1 2004.

Pay for non-certified skills grew nearly 70 percent more than certifications, or 4.4 percent versus 2.6 percent respectively.

Among "cooling" certified tech skills, those that have lost their value in the last year, the study lists nine, including MCDST (Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician), CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor), and three Novell certifications (NCDE,MCNE, and CCNA).

Fourteen certifications have grown in value, showing an 11 percent or higher growth over the last year, including SCNP (Security Certified Network Professional), CISM (Certified Information Security Manager) and MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer).

Highest-paid certifications include CISM (Certified Information Security Manager), CISA (Certified Information Systems Auditor), and five different Cisco certifications (CCDP, CCIE, CCIP and CCSP).

Skills categories showing the most growth in the survey included Applications Development/Programming Languages, Project Management, Training, Webmaster and Security.

Good Comment below...

"Another important factor that many employers look for are people and other 'soft' skills, especially for front-line or management-level IT types.

This seems to be lacking in many IT folks. The majority of the ones I've dealt with have trouble taking direction, listening carefully, keeping accurate documentation and being able to communicate in non-techno speak for the technically illiterate employeers and managers they interact with daily.

I also notice too many have large chips on the shoulder and carry a big ego. Why? Because they've mastered the arcane bits of DNS or Exchange rebuilds?

Perhaps employers are more willing to pay for people who have experience, skills, education -and- a soft touch with the mere mortals they have to work with every day.

I have a feeling that the majority of IT personnel lack the 'soft skill's' that many employers want and need. And hey, I happen to be a former network administrator with a few certs and 10+ years of experience under my belt - but tech savvy isn't going to get you far if you're a pain to get along with!" - quoted from hawke58

Being known that IT Cert is not worth the same as in the previous years doesn't mean anything. The importance is to equip yourself of what you think you don't know and the knowledge that you should know.
