Next Steps

I had promised myself to pursue certain career goals, and I am trying to keep up with it.
Immediate goal is to do a TDWI certification. The appropriate site is tdwi.org .
Following are the exams that I am planning to give:
- Core
- Data Warehousing Management
- Systems Development (Data Integration).

Job Search Strategies

Apart from internet job boards (dice, hotjobs, monster, careerbuilder, craigslist, linkedin etc), it is a good idea to communicate with consulting companies/staffing firms/agents. Make sure that these services are free (no cost to you). Most of these firms allow you to create your job search profile and submit your resume online. It's a good idea to actually call these firms and speak to someone working there. If possible, try to arrange an interview with one of the recruiters.
