In the email this morning

An announcement from BrainBench:

BIG CHANGES ARE COMING TO BRAINBENCH IN JULY!

* All tests in the Branbench library will be FREE from July 1 – July 14

* On July 8, a new capability will be added to your account whereby employers can leave their e-business card with you

* Over the years you have asked for greater employer exposure – well, starting July 15, employers will have FREE access to our database of interested jobseekers

* All this in celebration of member 5 million last month!

For what it’s worth, I do hold a couple of the free brainbench cetrifications. I don’t think they’re worth a whole lot per se, but I felt like having their tech support certs in addition to the A+ certification made for a more well-rounded certification section of my resume than just the A+. (Which reminds me, I should probably get to work on either the Network+ or an MCP exam sometime soon.)I guess I’m saying it couldn’t hurt, if they’re letting you take all of their tests for free, to take a look. I’m more interested to see what this exposure of interested jobseekers will accomplish though. You can bet I’ll be keeping an eye on that.

Then I’ll have to…

    Kevin talked about the cat and mouse between keylogging software and anti-virus software on the latest ITT. He talked about how embarrassing it might be when your user gets an AV warning about the keylogger you put on the computer to track him/her. Here’s the question I think some managers should think about before they…
