job postings

Last week, The Linux Foundation launched it's new Linux Jobs board and normally, I applaud anything that The Linux Foundation (TLF) does but not this time.

We're in the toughest, most competitive market for jobs in the last 20 years. So if you're looking for a job and feeling mobile, where should you head?

Sunny, humid, socialist Washington, D.C., of course!

This is a post from Leslie Truex, one of our WAHM 2.0 writers and author of the Work at Home Success Bible.  I asked her to share some wisdom with us from her experience in writing and publishing a book after many years as a web publisher.

I work in an area that's dominated by .NET and Microsoft - roughly 98% of the programming job postings I see (as few as they are, since everything is these recruiting and staffing firms) want .NET developers, and I only see the occasional job wanting Java (always requiring years of experience) or PHP hacking jobs.

Therein lies the problem, because while I know some .NET I haven't really used it in almost two years, and during that time I've started to read up about and use open source technologies.

I like open source a lot better than I do Microsoft.
