I don't know why I become worry and afraid to much about the exam when the date come near by (I have only 4 more day to have an exam, the exam will take place on 5 march 2005). This is my first exam, could anyone give me some advice for me to prepare for the sucessful test???

Hi,
Am planning to take exam 70-316.Could anyone who has done MCAD already suggest the best books to study for the same.

Hello,
I'm currently studying for 70-316 as well, and so far Amit Kalani's book is looking good. I already used his book to study for 70-315 and passed it with 962 points, so I think his method really works for me. I also did as much background reading as I could in MSDN and other sources like CodeProject to fill in my knowledge of C# in general and related topics like SQL, IIS and so on.
As far as practice exams are concerned, I do think they're useful. For 70-315, I tested myself using the PrepLogic practice exam that came with Kalani's book, as well as the practice exam in the Microsoft official Self-Study guide. Neither was quite the same as the actual exam, but they did make me scratch my head and look up some points I'd missed in MSDN.

First I cannot say for certain. However I will pick up on a few points you could improve. Also, these are my opinions and potential employers may have their own opinions.

Personally I don't like programmer, I think that "software developer" is a better description. If you get the chance you should tailor your CV for each employer so you can say "C++ Software developer" or whatever depending on the job you are going for. Also, you have 8 years experience, inserting the word "senior" might also appear better. Finally, on this section, your list of fields is too large. A potential employer or recuitment agency is going to think: "We don't have any jobs that do all that." So, again try and taylor it to the individual application, or if you can't just list the most important one or two.

This section is too verbose. Just give the name and number of the exam. Also, I'm an MCSD, and your score line make no sense to me. Did you get 860 out of 1000, if so, what does the 540 mean?
vgrigor1 wrote:
EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
This section mostly lists the technology that you used in each job. It doesn't actually say much about the job itself. If you are going for a permanent position (and if you are looking to relocate then I guess you are) then you need to give more about your duties and reponsibilities.
Also, you mix the verb tenses which can make it a little jarring to read. e.g. "System of data gathering, analyzing" Vs. "Provided COM subsystems". Personally, I would prefer the first example to be changed to "Gathered and analysed..." because that is showing a past-action-now-completed and potential employers like to see you can complete stuff (even if it is on a subconsious level). The present continuous tense (-ing endings) make it sound like you are still working on it and the end date is somewhat fuzzy.
vgrigor1 wrote:

Re-read your CV for small errors like this. "is" ==> "are" because the word "specializations" is plural and the verb has to match with the noun it refers to.
vgrigor1 wrote:
FOREIGN LANGUAGES:
Fluent English
Not to your potential employer it isn't (if they are in an English speaking country). I'd change this just to read "LANGUAGES: English, Russian" (I'm assuming that is your first language)
Finally - I don't think this will make much of a difference, but some people can be really picky about this. Your CV is written in American English. If you are applying to other English speaking countries, like Britain, they might just reject you for using the wrong dialect. Although in the field of computing most of the terms use American spellings regardless of geography.
This may not apply, BUT, be aware of your geography. You said you want to get a job in the US or England. You may have applied and were rejected from companies in the UK that were not in England because of this mistake. I've had letters addressed to me with the address as "Edinburgh, England" - Just lucky the postal service in England know that Edinburgh is in Scotland. A lot of people don't know that there are actually 3 countries on that island (England, Scotland and Wales), collectively known as Britain. If you don't know specifically that it is in England use Britain or British, it is safer and you don't run the risk of offending anyone.

REsume made on the send requirements from west companies:
As more detail as possible.
Senior- means just high positioned,
while I want underline qualification.
Fluent- also choice from combo, of Employer's demand.

If this was for an individual company try and figure out what they want from you and don't add in too much extra. I've been in a position where I was looking through CVs to find ones suitable to interview, the first stage is always to find something to immediately reject a potential candidate. Do not give them any reason to reject you. A CV I once rejected was on the grounds that it was too long and I didn't have time to read it. (Mind you it was about 12 pages).
Typically, in the US a résumé should be about 1 page, and in the UK a CV should be about 2 pages, anything more and you run the risk of rejection because of size.
vgrigor1 wrote:

If this is from an online form then there is nothing you can do about including the word "fluent". However, remeber to view it from the employer's perspective, English is a foreign language to you, but not to them.
I hope this helps.

I can tell you what helps me out. I don't know how well it'll work in other areas/countries (I'm in the southeastern US btw).
First and foremost, employers have to go through a TON of resumes/CVs nowadays. Programmers are a dime a dozen. Now, they have to weed out the bad ones, but that's not always easy when looking at over a hundred applications.
So, the very top of your resume needs to be sales pitch. If they don't like what they see first, then they won't even read the rest of your resume.
Second. Don't get too verbose. They have a lot to go through. And, don't tell them too much in it. Make them more curious about you and have them get in touch to find out more. Also, don't put so little they think this resume/CVs is a joke. It's walking a fine line, and you need to find it.
Third, if you go into an interview, don't be timid. Most employers I know want an employee they like being around. You're selling your personality as well. Try to relax, but keep a sense of professionalism. Make it a point for them to understand just how much you can offer to their company, and do it in words they can understand (very important).
Hope that helps.

i have heard friends having mcp certificates after working for only a few days. they download some books from the internet, gets quick answers of the questions to be asked. that degrades ms's certificates value, i believe. cisco certificates are seen more valuable here. cıssp even more valuable, although only a few might have heard of it. and there is this brainbench thing which i had heard about at university.
and what is this mvp thing ? most valuable professional ? nothing i believe.

Well the MCP is after passing only 1 exam. And yes some people cheat and get the questions that some person braindumped after an exam. This of course is in violation of the NDA that was agreed to before taking the exam, but that does not stop some people.
Alot of people had gotten a "paper" MCSE and that certification has lost alot of credentials over the years. That is probably one reason Microsoft keeps putting out new certs and new exams (besides to get more money). cisco certs would be valuable if you had cisco equipment, but a MCSE is valuable if you use Microsoft operating systems. It all depends on where you are working to say if its valuable or not.
MVP is not related to the certification program AFAIK. It is a designation from Microsoft to distinguish individuals that have really supported a particular field, such as C#, .NET, etc. There are some benefits to being a MVP, and a quick search on microsoft.com might show those.

That is illegal, and such activity should be reported. I have an MCSD and I worked hard to get it. Anyone that posts the answers should be procecuted IMO.

You can choose to believe what you like. MVPs are people that have shown exceptional knowledge and are willing to share that with the community as a whole. IIRC, MVPs are nominated and you cannot apply to be one.

What could be the fastest way of getting employed in an IT company in US if I'm coming from country somewhere in Asia? I am already a BS Computer Science Degree holder with an outstanding academic performance (even got an honor during graduation). Right now I am employed in an IT comapny here in Asia but learned that money is fast in US.
Thanks for your help!

I think he is referring to Tolkien's "All that is gold does not glitter..." quote meaning that just because something looks good does not necessarily mean it is good. There are other things to consider besides the face value.

Indeed it is very fast (at leaving your pocket). Sometimes you do not even see it because it is so fast. Taxes alone will chew up nearly 40% of your gross salary. From the remaining 60%, you'll need to pay for things like car and life insurance premiums, mortgage or rent, car payment, school, food, clothes, fuel, utilities, retirement, ad nauseam. It is a very vicious cycle.

Forget about it. It ain't gonna happen.
Many IT professionals in the US are out of work still. Many more, like me, were out of work for a long time and are now happy to just be employed for substandard wages. In IT no one really cares about your education. Experience is whast counts, and many experienced people are competing for jobs.
No US companies are interested in sponsoring visas for IT professionals. There is a much greater interest in outsourcing IT for cheap to places like Asia.
Plus as has been mentioned, 35-40% taxes right off the top. Minimum rent for a one bedroom flat in metro areas like Atlanta is $1000USD a month. New York, LA, figure $1500-2000 for not much more than an address basically.
The average American carries over $8000 dollars in high interest rate credit card debt. You think people carry $8000 in 15% APR credit card debt because "money is fast"?
Whatever you heard, you heard wrong.
Sorry ...
