    updating cv with new skills

    Hi all

    As been a contractor you need to keep adding new technology to your skill set list my question is how can you portray it in your Cv when you have new stuff just learned off the job or on your own ?

    thanks and regards

      Try rephrasing your question in your first language?
      I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).

                  I think it means "Can/Should I update my cv with skills that I have learnt off my own bat without a link to specific roles?"

                  On that assumption my response would be:-
                  Represent all your marketable skills on your cv - it is your shopwindow.
                  Personally I wouldn't differentiate between 'how' I acquired the skills".

                    You can do what you like but you'll find it hard to convince a client that playing around with a Solaris VM on Virtualbox for example is the is the same as configuring Solaris VMs on a SPARC T-5 with control and I/O domains, dynamic LDOM's and Oracle Cluste in a geo-split environment.
