Bhavinee Vyas commented on Girish Dhulekar's blog post How is PET different from real world Marketing?"I think one attendee at a recent PET course conducted in Mumbai put it nicely when talking about the 'single most valuable insight I took away from this course.'

Ok, I received the newsletter for the forthcoming PET course today so also felt compelled to start a discussion here. Although I asked about this course while in Bangalore last month but then nothing was concrete. Actually now the situation is different.. why?

No...HFI has no jobs for CUA's. They are planning to introduce another advance certification program...!! The job market in Hyderabad is still pretty grim. I was hoping to get a break after completing my certification...but, that is not the case. I haven't got one call since I updated my resume. :(
