Automation folks: How do you find jobs? Automation folks: How do you find jobs? Either your current job, or how would you look for your next job? It seems like job searching continues to get more and more convoluted. I remember my mom telling me to look for jobs in the newspaper. In fact whenever I make it back there she hand me a bunch of circled “leads” from the newspaper articles, which continues to get smaller and smaller. I always appreciate her help… and try not to roll my eyes. The Internet and job boards. This feels like a spray and pray approach, where you can apply to hundreds of job ..read more

Failure. Past failure does not mean future success. Past failure is the hard lessons that sometimes we need in order to be able to succeed. How do you know you need to pick up that phone to follow up instead of sending another email? How do you learn when to work more v. taking some time off because everything takes time? I would rather work with people who have tried, failed, and come out stronger than someone who has only ever found success. Push to failure. Learn your lessons. Repeat.

Is Industrial Software and Support Too Expensive? I asked you, the community the question of ” Should we pay for Industrial software & support or should it be free?” Going into this I completely knew that it could be a loaded question. It seems like on many corners of the internet and bars around conference time, this is a hotly contested subject. I find this is especially the case when we’re dealing with Rockwell’s toolkit (in quantity), end users, and/or Integrators who need to stack many different offerings with vendors all of whom have fees for software and support. I was actually pret ..read more
