Win a Pass to the Microsoft Certified Career Conference

The next Microsoft Certified Career Conference will be held on February 17, 2011!

The Microsoft Career Conference is a 24-hour virtual event where you can:

• meet potential employers
• hone your technical skills
• acquire job-seeking skills
• network with fellow professionals
• glean career advice from real-life experts in the field,

Some of the highlights you will find are:

• Cloud Computing Talent…What is it?  A conversation with Chandra Prasad, one of the world’s foremost authorities on cloud computing.
• Deep dive into the Microsoft Masters program, featuring content from official MCM training courseware.
• Podcasting Your Way to a Job. Podcasting is the perfect tool to open doors, build relationships, and grow your career. Michael Surkan podcasts about job searching, entrepreneurs, and the economy under his alter-ego, The Optimistic Bear. (NOTE: I am looking forward to this one!)
• Fresh perspectives from top-notch Tech·Ed speakers, including Asli Bilgin, Joao Paulo Clementi, and Niraj Bhatt.
• Round II of the wildly popular Are You Careerable? game show with all new content and prizes.
