Hi there Virginia Oracle User's Group!

I recently joined the group and am very excited about Oracle career
opportunites in VA! In fact I did a little research on both monster
and careerbuilder, and found that there are alot more opportunities in
VA than in any other state that I was looking to relocate to.
Currently, I am trying to complete my Oracle 10g training, and to take
my certification exams.

Just wanted to ask your advice and help:

Would you have any advice on preparing and passing the exam?
Any ideas on how I could attain some work experience during my
preparation?
Where would be the most opportunity for me after certification?
What ways can I start and develop my career as a DBA in VA?

Look forward in hearing your responses.

Thanks,

Stanley
