Three summers of open source

2007-03-16T05:38:00.000-07:00

Three summers of open source Posted by Chris DiBona, Open Source Program Manager Everything is ready. All systems are go. We're now accepting applications for the third Google Summer of Code, Google's program for introducing college students to open source software development. Not everyone knows it, but open source plays an enormous role at Google. Each time you use the Google search engine, you're using open source software. Google relies on the Linux kernel, GCC, python and Samba and commits code into each of those projects. We also work closely with the open source developer community. Googlers have released hundreds of thousands of lines of code, both as patches to existing projects and as new and wholly open source projects, such as the Google Web Toolkit. We've funded great work at universities and we host many thousands of active open source projects on ... Source: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/03/three-summers-of-open-source.html

Internship Opportunity at Washtenaw Community Health Organization

2007-02-13T14:36:00.001-08:00

Internship Opportunity
Washtenaw Community Health Organization
Information Management

An intern with the Information Management staff at the Washtenaw Community Health Organization (WCHO) will work as a member of a team to support the development and implementation of a web-based healthcare management information system. The system, called Encompass, is used mostly by mental health and health providers in five Michigan counties: Monroe, Lenawee, Livingston, Washtenaw, and Saginaw. The system is relatively new, developed over the last four years. For Encompass to be viable over the long term there needs to be increased direct value to the end users.

The current primary intern project is to help make data more accessible to end users. We need someone to help us create a user-friendly interface to the system that would allow end users to develop ad-hoc reports. This would involve researching options, making recommendations, and perhaps development and implementation. Knowledge of the following would be ideal:
SQL and database design
Report-creation systems
Information design and visualization
Java or another programming language

Two other projects we need help with which are lower priority include: determining a process to make training videos available online, and improving information system security by aligning user group access with recommendations from administration.

Students can work 10-20 hours per week.

As an intern at the WCHO, a student will attend meetings, consult with staff in other county departments, and communicate with an information system vendor. A student will gain knowledge of current trends in computerization of mental health and health records, the information system development life cycle, reporting, and county mental health and health organizations. At minimum the student will meet with a supervisor biweekly, and will be provided with a final summary and evaluation.

I also found this article by Certification Magazine about IT salaries in 2005. These salaries are also a year old, but can give you a good idea of IT salaried jobs.

As an industry, Information Technology has been beleaguered for so long it’s easy to believe the news is all bad, all the time. Happily, that’s not really the case. According to Certification Magazine’s 2005 Salary Survey, IT is doing well and getting better.

Article: Online Resume Not Generating Any Calls?

2006-11-22T13:13:00.000-08:00

By Joseph Turner, JobChangeSecrets.com

Want to get your online resume noticed and have employers picking up the phone and calling you?

Then forget how pretty your resume is. What really matters is how your resume scores on a search. Most resumes today go straight to a computer tracking system that saves online resumes in the company database allowing for later searches. A computer will "score" your resume by the number of keywords or "buzzwords" that the employer finds most relevant to their needs. If you don't account for this, you'll just sit waiting by the phone for the call that never comes.

Keywords, Keywords, and More Keywords

The magic is in the keywords and how and where you can use them. Focus on the keywords most likely to be used by a human resources person or recruiter doing the resume search for a particular job requirement. The greater the number of relevant keywords, the higher relevancy score your online resume will receive.

Let's look at the four major keyword areas you need to account for in an online resume that will get an employer to pick up the phone and call you:

1. "Keyword Competencies":

A.) List this section at the beginning of your resume to introduce your skill sets from an interviewing standpoint.

B.) Include no more than 75 keywords. List as many relevant, searchable keywords that describe your potential job title, technical skills, management or organizational skills, relevant software and/or mechanical abilities and expertise as you can. Include anything that might be important to the particular job.

For example, if you were a Java Programmer, your Keyword Competencies section might look like this:

"Java, Visual C++, perl, ticl, application development, visual basic, Windows NT/XP, programming, GUI, html, project management, layer 2, BSEE, etc".

2. "Job Description": Include every title that may pertain to your duties and function. For example, if your official title is "Member of Technical Staff", other companies may call that a Software Engineer, Software Developer, or even a Programmer. Take this into account when you write your resume for online use. The computer doesn't care as long as you have all your bases covered for whatever human-based search may arise.

3. "Objective": Once again, keep it limited to specific keywords when you identify your present and/or aspiring job title with an added major skill or function (such as project management, mergers and acquisitions, electronic design, product verification, quality control, etc).

4. "Past Experience": Many searches are performed in the interest of finding people who have worked for or with certain companies. This can mean not only working as an employee, but also having worked with their products or with them as a client or vendor. Be sure to list all the major companies with whom you have had connection. This includes experience with their tools or products or your roles as either a vendor or a customer.

Summary

The bottom line is not how pretty your resume looks. The most important element is to cover all the possible keywords that an employer will be searching for. There's potential gold in your background and you want to make certain that it is brought to the surface. Keywords are truly powerful for this.

*Alpha Iota Delta is the International Honor Society
http://www.alphaiotadelta.com
In 1971, a group of members of the Decision Sciences Institute formed Alpha Iota Delta, the national honor society in decision sciences and information systems. The purposes of the honor society are threefold:
• to confer distinction to students in the decision sciences and information systems disciplines for academic excellence
• to promote the infusion of the functional and behavioral areas of business with the tools, concepts, and methodologies of the decision sciences and information systems
• to promote interest in the disciplines of decision sciences and information systems
Alpha Iota Delta continues to be linked to the Decision Sciences Institute and supports those activities of the Decision Sciences Institute, which are aimed at student involvement.

Inaugural Club Video

2006-11-10T19:12:00.000-08:00

Here's the video of the first few minutes of the November 9 meeting. Note how I messed up the titling on the video to read November 11. Too late now.

Welcome to the CIS Club

2006-11-09T13:22:00.000-08:00

This is a blog about and for the Eastern Michigan University Computer and Information Systems Club (EMU CIS club for short). We're having our first organizing meeting November 9, 2006. Here's what's on the agenda:

Networking. We need to establish a CIS community, meaning:

Links between current students and alumni.
Links between current students and job contacts.
Just links between current students.

Figuring out how to get better visibility for our program and our students.
Establishing a club operating committee.
Figuring out what other stuff we can do for students.

Some ideas:

Establish a speakers series. Who should we get? When? Who will do the contacting?
Finding national clubs we should connect to.
Entering national competitions.
Starting a CIS blog network. If you have a professional blog, we'll link to it. You should link to us too.
Get some people responsible for updating this blog with pictures and multimedia.
