There are a lot of on the internet discussion boards geared toward IT experts, and surely, a great deal of sites dispense job assistance (such as CIO.com). But I used to be not aware of a standalone on-line forum particularly geared toward IT professionals' careers until I found out about Ivy Tango.  
Ivy Tango is definitely an on-line local community wherever IT experts can provide and obtain career guidance. It launched mid-April 2009 and functions as being a simple discussion forum in which registered users can publish career-related queries and answers. To register, you will need only give an e-mail address and come up with a password. As of June 1, Ivy Tango had 187 members and 157 posts. (I'm now a member, getting registered as "Meridith.")
Topics for discussion include résumés, job offers, compensation, benefits, dealing with recruiters, consulting and contracting,Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Plus Key, job boards, networking, social networking, relocation, immigration,Office 2007 Enterprise Key, and on the job issues (such as dealing with cranky co-workers).
Among the more spirited discussions, members are debating whether to take a job that's being offered or to wait for a better offer; how to ask for a raise in a recession (a subject I've addressed); and whether to report an obnoxious HR person to a hiring manager. 
Ivy Tango was created by Project One,Buy Office Professional Plus 2010, an IT consulting and staffing firm. For now, Ivy Tango is simply a PR vehicle for Project One; the company is not trying to make money off the forum, says Gary Zander, Project One's president. 
"Our intent is not to use this [forum] as being a means to generate direct dollars," says Zander. "We're doing this as kind of a public service. We're constantly bombarded with inquiries from candidates who call us. We thought there was an opportunity to give back to candidates,Microsoft 2010 Key, to create an environment exactly where they can pose questions and give assistance to one another." 
If Ivy Tango takes off and its membership grows, Zander says Project One might use it to get marketing and sales leads, but currently that's not the company's or the forum's focus.
Give Ivy Tango a look. I've located members' responses to questions to be helpful, practical and good-natured. Members seem genuinely interested in sharing their two cents and helping others--always a good sign in a forum. As Zander says,Buy Windows 7 Professional, "This is the kind of thing where the larger it grows, the better it is for everybody." 
I plan to publish my numerous opinions on Ivy Tango. I hope I'll find yours there, too.
