LinkedIn Profiles: Avoid the 6 Most Common Mistakes
In the midst of the recession, many job seekers have spent more time on LinkedIn
to connect with colleagues, customers and partners in an effort to land a new
gig. Unfortunately, many people commit common errors in their LinkedIn profiles
that cost them new opportunities, says Jason Alba, CEO of JibberJobber, a
company that provides web-based tools for managing your job search.

Tech employment shrinks for fifth straight month
The number of U.S. IT workers is continuing to decline, but recruiters are
holding out hope that U.S. firms will start hiring new workers again by the end
of 2009.

NetApp agrees to pay $1.5B for Data Domain
Storage vendor NetApp announced today it has reached an agreement to purchase
leading data de-duplication vendor Data Domain for $1.5 billion.

Steps to On-Time, On-Budget Project Delivery
Businesses of all sizes embark on thousands of projects for new products and
services every year. Unfortunately, most projects are doomedto fail outright, or
at launch, because the original success criteria were not met. Some project
failures lead to delays in product launches, such as the AirBus A380; others,
like Boston's Big Dig, incur huge cost overruns. These examples, as well as the
results from survey after survey, show that American businesses have not been
able to figure out how to consistently get products and services delivered on
time, on budget and with the highest quality.
