Hi!
I have 10 years of experience in
Java programming and I have OCJA certification. I am in the midst of looking for a new job in software development.
My previous job was in project management and I was forced to resign because I did not live up to their expectation as a project manager.
I wasn't quite prepared for this project management job although I am a Certified Associate in Project Management from PMI.
In short, I don't have the experience in Project Management. I also was not made to understudy a senior project manager.
I enjoy programming. This is what I do best.
Problem is: I have to convince a new employer to pay me a salary of a developer with 10 years of experience instead of a fresh graduate to do the same job.
In other words, how do I set myself apart from fresh graduates in programming.
Any ideas?
