ATTENTION: ALL EMPLOYEES
As you may have heard, we are getting ready to implement a new computer
system at the office. This may worry some of you, but the system is actually
designed to make our lives easier. It will eliminate a lot of the repetitive
paperwork that many of you dislike doing, and will give us a central system
where all of our information can be stored.
In
order to make sure everyone is comfortable with the new system, we will be
holding several orientation sessions throughout next week. Please choose one
that fits your schedule and sign up. You will learn the basics, get a
guidebook for the system, and have an opportunity to get comfortable with the
system by completing practice tasks with the help of the instructor.
The following sessions are available:
Tuesday, November 7th at 10:00 A.M.
Wednesday,
November 8th at 11:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M.
Friday
November 10th at 9:30 A.M.
Please visit the bulletin board in the lunchroom and sign up for one. There
will be snacks and refreshments for participants served after each session.

Best Cities For Tech Workers
According to DataQuest's latest figures, the best jobs in technology are
located in eight metropolitan areas: New York, San Francisco, Atlanta,
Seattle, Portland, San Diego, Houston, and Philadelphia.
DataQuest first began collecting this data five years ago. The list of
top-tech cities has changed since then, but demand for tech workers has not -
it has risen by twenty-five percent.
If you are pursuing a career in technology, but do not live in or near one of
the top-tech cities, there is still plenty of opportunity.
Matthew Martinez, CEO of NetStaff, a high-tech staffing firm with offices
around the country, said that the companies his company recruits for are
always looking for more employees with tech expertise. According to Martinez,
””For most areas it is currently an 'employees market,' meaning that many
employees in technology are able to pick and choose their jobs, ask for
better benefits, and arrange flexible work schedules.
