These days, the Internet impacts almost every facet of modern life. Technology innovation will not be slowing down anytime soon and you need to keep up.

If you are targeting a senior-level position, the people you meet want to know that you are keeping current with developments in technology. It is likely that you will need to show how you can exploit appropriate technological advances to improve the company’s market position and take advantage of emerging business opportunities.

When speaking with potential employers, use examples of your achievements to demonstrate that you are comfortable with technological change. Show how you can harness technology to meet the organization’s needs and deal effectively with the bombardment of technical information.

If you have been out of work for some time, it is vital that you leverage online social networks such as LinkedIn. Active participation demonstrates that you are on top of current trends in technology. It also provides another means for you to be noticed by executive recruiters.

Another way of keeping current is by gaining competitive intelligence. If you are in the Canadian six-figure market, we want your input.
