When you return and want to start your career as a computer professional you must ask the question.

Why should they hire me over the other candidates?

I have graduated from a good school. I received good grades, I am eager to work.
Have some friends that work in the field.

Do you have reference projects in production which you can point to which will show your work?
Have you ever worked with remote teams or with outsourced projects?
Have you worked the full life cycle in a large project?
Do you have a network of established professionals who would recommend you to a potential employer?
Do you have international experience which make you much more valued as part of the team ?

So now more than ever is the time to find ways which give you an edge over your peers.
We hear of layoffs and global slowdown. We hear of outsourcing of work. The situation looks bad should I just give up.

The world is not coming to an end so people who understand this will make this situation positive for them and turn the current situation into a plus. Yes, companies are tightening their belts.

Computer projects cannot stop!!! Companies are looking at how they can run leaner and more efficienct.
This is often done with well planned computer projects. Companies understand that they need to find a way to keep efficiency, maintain quality, and keep costs down while maintaining innovation. Outsourcing is not always the answer as there are many problems when you lose control of your project. The real cost is not always what it seem. Is the quality always there?

So the computer professional who is in most demand is:

One that can work with remote team while keeping control of the project.
Someone who has worked the full life cycle with multinational projects
Someone exposed to real world processes and experience.
Even in outsourced projects the client requires someone to keep the team in step to make sure they are getting good value.
If a company is using some remote resources for a project how do they know what company is best to work with? What should the company look for? How should they make these decisions? What should be evaluated?
