Succeeding as a data professional is all about placing the right bets at the right times. The more you know about what’s happening around you, the better bets you can place.

I’ve been working with databases for over two decades. In this session, I’ll invite you into my home to have a frank, honest discussion about where our industry has been recently, and where it’s heading next. We’ll look at how that will impact the available jobs in our industry, and how it impacts where you focus your spare training time. We’ll even look at job ads and resumes in an effort to help you stand out.

In one hour, I can’t make you a pro at everything – but I can help you understand where you need to be a pro, and how to make your resume reflect that.

So where are we going to get together? At the keynote for the PASS Community Summit. It’s a totally free event on November 8-12, and that’s a bargain, because in the past you’ve had to pay thousands of dollars to attend. Register now for free, and I’ll see you on Friday, November 12th.

Now, uh, that we’ve got the professional part out of the way, wanna see the outtakes from when I tried to film that promo? Of course you do:

Those were shot during the day, of course – I ended up having to go back and record another version at night because my daytime versions were such a hot mess, hahaha.

Update 2021/11/17: the full keynote recording is now available on YouTube:
