The book I wrote last year is, for a short time, available as a free PDF download. Career 2.0 walks you through taking control of your future, instead of trusting to the random chance that comes from management and industry trends. Some of us have been fortunate enough to work with great managers in great organizations that cared about our futures. Others have worked in situations where we were considered replaceable cogs.
Are you a cog today? Do you want to break out of that mold? Career 2.0 walks you through the steps needed to ensure you work where you want to work, instead of where you have to work.
Here are a few links to nice reviews of the book, as well as a low resolution video of me giving an early version of the talk. It was recorded on my iPhone, so please forgive the quality and recording angle. :)
Career 2.0: Toastmasters
NFJS COSS 2008 1st Day Wrap Up
Career 2.0: Take control of Your Life
NFJS Keynote: Career 2.0 - From Grunt to Guru
And the video.
If you grab Career 2.0 and like the material, I'd suggest you also check out Chad Fowler's excellent book, The Passionate Programmer (2nd edition): Creating a Remarkable Career in Software Development
If you're not happy in the situation you're in today, you've got two choices. You can sit tight and hope it gets better. Someday. Or you can start working today to change where you'll be tomorrow. And by the way, not choosing is the same as choice one.
