What is your job title and why?
With job titles like Rockstar, Wizard and Guru it’s no wonder why hiring skilled web techs is so difficult. How does one become a wizard? It’s not as if you can whip out your wizard certificate. I think it’s great that Ryan is addressing this topic, for both employers and job seekers.
This series is also a great resources for anyone that was as puzzled as I was in college about entering the world of web design.
