About the Book

"Schneider's debut guide will help information technology professionals rise to the top." (Kirkus Indie). A Technologist's Guide to Career Advancement is a book that can help anyone in IT advance in their career. It can be extremely daunting to do things like ask for a raise or request the promotion that you rightly deserve. The single goal of this book is to give you the advice and techniques that will lead directly to advancement in your IT career. The vast majority of the advice and techniques in this book come directly from the author's own extensive IT experience. Mr. Schneider has had the good fortune during his 20+ year career of going from a C programmer at a small company, to the Vice President of Software Development at a Fortune 100 company and learning a lot along the way. The book covers many important things, including how to effectively communicate with your management, peers, and customers. It details the techniques you need to become the star IT person, whether you are a software developer, tester, project manager, dba, support professional, network engineer, or whatever your role is in information technology. It covers how to prepare for your review (to get a promotion), and how to react appropriately in times of crisis. A Technologist's Guide to Career Advancement will help you move to the next level in your IT career.
About the Author: REVIEW The author doesn't waver from his stated aim to target the specific challenges and concerns of IT professionals; he endeavors to help them "stand out amongst the multitudes of mediocrity." --Kirkus Indie. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Mr. Schneider received his Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from Iowa State University, and his MBA from Drake University. His first job out of college was writing software in C on OS/2. Even back then that was a bit of a rarity, though it helped establish his strong technical foundation. Eventually, Mr. Schneider worked his way up from being a programmer to architect to technical manager. Along the way, he developed and designed some of the most complex ecommerce systems used today, as well as worked on some of the largest database systems in the world. He also authored and holds United States Patent 7,228,371 which describes a system and method for automatically determining when computer workstations should be upgraded or replaced. As his career progressed, Mr. Schneider earned the position of Vice President of Software Development at one of the world's most respected Fortune 100 companies. In that role, he has had the great opportunity to hire and mentor many technologists across many industries. Over time, he has developed various techniques and processess that technologists can use to perform better at work, and get promoted along the way. Mr. Schneider is married with three kids, and resides in Southwest Ohio.
