interview

Here are the next steps that you got to start preparing.
1. Market research - figuring out what's required that's close to your skills.
2. Resume - matching the taste of the potential employer/project
3. Interview skills (Phone & in Person) Follow up after interview
4. Offer negotiation - it is not always the $$. Some times location/technology/corporate culture/career growth/flexible working hours/working from home - can be higher priority
5. On the job help, as needed.

Read as many Job requirements/postings - even if you are not interested/going to apply. This will tell you approximately where (geographical/technology) there is demand and how is the $$ in each areas on skills.

There are lots of resumes - real and samples in the internet. Remember this is one of the first brief view of YOU. Make the best use of the person/machine that scans for match.

Some of the job postings, I see these days, are requiring exposure/knowledge of new types of processes. It might be a good idea to know some aspects - so that you can engage in productive conversation - during the interview.

Unlike in traditional countries where people are selected for their pure personal merit/skills, here, you have to be liked by the manager and the interview team members. How to make some one to like you is very difficult area. In many cases, if you liked the interview, mostly you will be selected. If you did not like the interview, most likely the manager/interviewer also did not like talking to you - so not selected. You got to make the interviewer interested in your skills and also should be comfortable working with you.

Anyway, you got to be happy at the end of the day. A revenue stream is a part of securing happiness - not everything.
