Greetings!
What contributes most to job satisfaction for you? Is it money? According to a survey conducted by Information Week, IT staffers want more than salary. They want to be heard, to have challenging work that matters, and they want to work for people who they like and respect. According to Jonathan Feldman, if you really cared only about money, there's another job for you that would increase your salary by 50%. For me, the opportunity to learn new things to keep updated in my field also contributes to my job satisfaction. Hope you'll take advantage of PCATT training and events if you love to learn like we do.
All the best,
Beryl Morimoto
Program Manager

As you probably know, Mary Meeker, partner in Silicon Valley venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers, is famously known for her regular reports on Internet trends. Her most recent presentation was given at the D11 conference on May 29, 2013. You can see her slides (all 117 of them) and perhaps pick up a start-up idea or find strategic direction for your planning. It's a "must review" report for folks in technology.

Kevin Hughes

We have our own expert in Hawaii, Kevin Hughes, and he gave a very engaging and interesting presentation at the PCATT IT Summit about the State of the Web. The Internet is such a big part of our lives today it's hard to imagine life without it -- and the Internet has been in existence for just 10 years. Kevin has given us permission to share his slides if you would like to view them on our PCATT blog.

Why get an MCITP?
The Microsoft Certified IT Professional and other certifications show that you studied to learn or have experience mastering a specific set of skills. Certifications also demonstrate you have taken the time to sit for difficult exams and passed at the designated level. Here's what Microsoft says about the benefits of their certifications. If you're interested, PCATT has an MCITP course starting on June 25 which takes a comprehensive, integrative approach. Please register on or before June 10 so we can order your books.
