10 Technology Skills That Will No Longer Help You Get A Job

See on Scoop.it – M-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications

These tech skills are no longer in demand. Show recruiters that you can adapt and learn.

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

Thanks to +AaronBradley for posting this on Google+. One thing I have learned over the past ten years or so is that technology moves so fast that you need to keep up. Before I was a stay-at-home mom, I was a content project manager. When I decided to go back to work several years later, I couldn’t find a project management job to save my life. I had to take a few steps backwards into web publishing, which brought me back forward, but into a different direction. I also went back to school because I knew there would be things that I would need to either refresh in my mind or learn. Keep up your continuing education! This article is proof!

The Top Five SEO Mistakes According To Google’s Matt Cutts

See on Scoop.it – M-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications

In a recently published video, Matt Cutts, Google’s head of search spam, listed off the top five SEO mistakes webmasters make. Matt said these are not the most devastating mistakes, but rather, the most common mistakes.

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

Thanks to @kentbrooks for finding this one. SEO is simple, and yet it’s not in my mind. There are SO many possible words or could be searched that could lead a person to one’s webpage or website. I know I try to be thorough when I post something original that I’ve written, but I’m sure I miss the mark now and then. These seem like fairly easy mistakes to fix. How are you going to fix the SEO related to your work?
