Yesterday, I wrote “Re-invent your career“ In that post, I listed several questions to ask yourself. I’ve been asking myself and others which skills are the most important to know. Of course I get mixed answers. I have narrowed the marketable skills down to Objective-C. The business establishments that I would like to work for require Objective-C programming experience with iPhone and Mac OS X development experience.
How I’m Re-Inventing my Career:
Side note, since I will be using these new tools, I believe there will be lots of experiences to write about in my blog.
