My Job Went to India: 52 Ways to Save Your Job

By Chad Fowler
You've already lost your job. You may still be drawing a paycheck, but the job you were hired to do no longer exists. Your company has changed, the technology has changed, the economy has changed, and the ways you can add value have changed. Have you adapted to these changes? Or are you at risk?
Economic downturn. Job cuts. Outsourcing. The ever-changing tech landscape. The threats abound. This book gives 52 ways to keep your job, despite the vagaries of the market.
It's all about making the right choices. Choosing which technologies to focus on and which business domains to master have at least as much impact on your success as your technical knowledge - don't let those choices be accidental. The author shows you all aspects of the decision-making process so you can ensure that you're investing your time and energy in the right areas.
It's all about skills. You'll develop a structured plan for keeping your skills up-to-date so that you can compete with both the growing stable of developers in so-called low-cost countries as well as your higher-priced local peers. You'll learn how to shift your skillset up the value chain, from an offshore-ready commodity to one in high demand.
It's all about marketing. As with any product or service, if nobody knows what you're selling, nobody will buy. You'll learn how to create a plan for marketing yourself both inside your company and to the industry in general.
Like it or not, the IT career landscape has changed. This handbook will teach you what you need to do to avoid being left behind. 232 pages. Softcover. September 2005.
