Hi everyone, Thank you for taking time to read the Oracle Certification e-magazine. There are a number of exam-related announcements—extensions and publications that will interest many of you. Starting this month I'd like to extend an invitation to each of you to participate in our 2009 Oracle Certification Salary Survey. Through this survey we are trying to gather career-oriented information about Oracle-certified individuals including:
The survey is totally anonymous, has only 17 questions, and will take only a few minutes to complete. We need a lot of people to participate in order to have adequate data, so I hope that you'll respond to my invitation. Also, please encourage any of your colleagues and friends who hold an Oracle certification to take part in this survey. The survey is scheduled to run through mid-May. We'll summarize and share the results via the Oracle Certification Blog. Thanks,
