Are There Jobs in the Computer Field?

by Jo Escotal on May 26th, 2010

Well here is my question to you how many companies have computers? And how many homes have computers?  Rule number one of being in the right field is to have Customers.  You don't need to be a rocket scientist here to analyze this but there are jobs in computers.  You have to fix them, network them, secure them. So if you ever doubt about being in the right field and what opportunities are around go into the computer field I guarantee you that you will have many opportunities to pursue and get a great job.  

Saving PowerPoint Slides as Pictures

by Adrienne McGee on May 17th, 2010

PowerPoint allows you to save slides as pictures. This might come in handy if you need to put a slide on a web page, or incorporate a slide into a publication. 

To do this, in PowerPoint 2007, click on the Office Button and then click Save As... When the Save As dialog opens, click on the Save as Type dropdown. Among various file formats, towards the bottom of the list you will find various picture formats, such as .gif, .jpg, .png etc. Choose the formate appropriate for your needs and then just save it like you would any other file.

Microtrain presents the course material in an interesting and concise manner. Microtrain gives the student all the resources necessary to pass the certification exams. Both the Chicago and Lombard facilities were excellent, and the staff goes to any length to accommodate any student changes.

A Cisco Success Story

I attended a resume writing seminar & conducted mock phone interviews with a Microtrain career counselor. These two activities gave me a leg up on distinguishing myself from all the other people looking for work. Since the career counselor's at Microtrain had a track record of getting people hired, their insight and positive past experiences helped me tremendously in getting hired with a Cisco Voice Systems Integrator in the Chicago area. I was hired as a Cisco Voice Tech Engineer with a starting salary of $65,000 / year with a Cisco voice systems reseller located in the Chicagoland area. Microtrain was very instramental in making this a reality. From expediting my WIA grant, to providing excellent hands-on training from knowledgable instructors I was able to achieve becoming certified with my CCNP. Microtrain's career services was the final catalyst in connecting me with this company by communicating with them on my behalf and with me in setting up the interview. One week later and I was hired. No joke. Thanks Microtrain!

PMP Certification Training, Lombard, 2008

I was laid off for many months and not really getting many callbacks for my resume and no job offers. After I put the letters PMP on it, not only did I see an increase in quantity, but also quality of interviews. I had been spinning my wheels for 5 months, and after the PMP went on, I had 2 job offers in 6 weeks. It really was the "golden ticket"
