Rafe Needleman over at CNET had written a brilliant article about what to do if you get laid off from a tech job.
He is now managing the ‘Spreadsheet of Sunshine’ – a tracker containing open job opportunities. Yes, these entries are from companies that are hiring.
If you know of any open positions, you can add to this sheet using this form. or you can leave him a messge on Twitter.
Here’s the spreadsheet…and as Rafe says, happy hunting!

Your elevator speech / introduction / tombstone takes time.
It takes time because everything about an introduction is important.
Medium – is your introduction in-person? Or over the phone? Or is this an email introduction?
Content – what are you communicating? What does it imply? And most important, is it relevant to the person or group you are delivering this to?
Tone – the tone of your voice can demonstrate confidence, maturity and capability. Also remember, the written word or email also has a tone.
Length – an introduction should ideally be 5 bullet points or less. Anything more than that, it is a conversation.
Getting the right content, tone and length takes practice. Introduce yourself to your spouse, your friends or colleagues. Get feedback and then practice again.
There’s no shame in practicing again and again. Even the legendary Steve Jobs practices for hours for his presentation.
