Leverage your CV executing tech demos

One of the coolest activities that an osum leader can do, is executing tech demos at campus. But also, this can help you leverage your career. Nowadays, big companies are looking not only for best developers or sysadmin, but also people that can lead others, and share knowledge with the rest of a team, showing great pro activity and team work skills. For all this, you can try giving a TECH DEMO!!!

A tech demo is not a big deal, so don't be afraid if you are newbie. We have plenty of resources to support you. And you don't have to be an expert developer to do it. Just take some time to train you in some "introductory" tech demos.

Here I share with you some resources to support you on your first NetBeans tech demo. We are encouraging Osum Leaders from all over the world to execute their first NetBeans tech demo this month. We are having weekly webinars to train you, so check events section to join them

1. Read Blog from Gary as an introduction to osum leaders: http://osum.sun.com/profiles/blogs/demonstrate-your-skills-by?xgs=1
