 Write a Review of Career Opportunities Podcast
  
LOLJPB, February 17, 2006
Reviewer: LOLJPB
The Career Opportunities podcast is geared towards individuals working in the high-tech industry. The podcast is produced two times a week and each 6-8 minute episode covers a specific issue of relevance it IT workers. For instance, one episode I listened to discussed the difference between perception and reality and why its so important to understand any gap between the two. Another episode covered the benefits of openness and saying "yes" to employees and clients.
This would be a great podcast for IT managers and CIO types. Others may find it a little dry. It is a well-produced podcast and I'm a big fan of its brevity (and brevity in general when it comes to podcasting). For the right audience it's a perfect fit.
