Some ideas

megamaced · 11-10-2006, 06:29 PM

I've noticed quite a few posts regarding IT certifications and career recently. How about creating a new 'Certification / career advice' forum?

Is it possible to include a 'Random Thread' feature similar to Wikipedia's Random artical? Not sure if there is much demand for this, but I like digging up old threads

Agreed on both points, I think it'd be quite cool.

random idea is good, placed at the bottom on the forum home would be best I think? unless we could add a right menu to the forums, hmm.

I'm not sure about the "Certification / career advice forum" but if its need then I have nothing against it. I'll ask B for feedback.

I think that this will create confusions in the members mind coz everyone on this site will come with their own different ideas and will create confusions. Its an open end question not like computers.....

I've seen one forum (Ars Technica) that has a professional section. I'm not sure just something for certification would be the best, but I think combining it with a professional geek forum would make it a more robust section. It would be career and certification oriented. It might seem redundant, but this would be about the career, not about IT problems, as we have forums that should cover virtually any issue they might run up against.

Edit: We now have an IT Careers and Certification area.

Hmm it looks to me like u've moved at least one thread in there which doesn't really belong: "Paying for school". Swansen was just talking about school in general... right?

Also the title of the forum sounds a bit too narrow/hardcore imo. As if it's only for people seriously looking to work with computers for the rest of their lives -- that's what "career" means. If this were up to me, I'd call it something like "IT jobs, certifications, etc" to make it sound more general/loose (to include any discussions about temporary/side jobs as well). *shrug

Honestly, right now I no longer really want to talk out qualifications...

Just see my thread in that forum
