Calling all those who are already Oracle Certified: we need your help with the 2008 Certification Magazine Salary Survey!
This survey will take only about 10-15 minutes to complete, but the information that comes out of the survey is really valuable.
Certification Magazine needs a minimum number of people to respond for each certification area (or they can’t include it in the final results). Therefore, your individual participation can indeed make the difference whether your hard-earned credential gets accurately represented in the survey results (or gets listed at all). You did see “Swing Vote”, right?
So please (1) take the survey and (2) spread the word by telling your friends and forwarding the link. This will really help mobilize as much participation as possible.
Please note: Hyperion, BEA and Siebel folks should look under “Oracle” for those listings.
I’ll post a link to the results when they come out in December. In the meantime, check out the 2007 Survey Results in the "Quick Links" below.
Thanks!

Certification Opt-In Now Live
We just got a bit nervous today thinking that a few of you may not be getting the latest info on Oracle Certification. In addition to this blog, we issue a monthly Oracle Certification E-Magazine which includes certification track updates, exam information, events, promotions, and program news. And you can have this information delivered directly to your inbox every month, spam-free.
But there's a catch...
You must first go to www.oracle.com/admin/account and check the Oracle Certification Program checkbox on your Oracle Profile.
Having done this, you'll now you'll "be in the know". If you need to catch up, our July edition is available here on the web.
Happy checkbox-clicking!
