You might need a better understanding of the job market. One of the best ways to do that is to do your research. By research, I mean search the job postings on-line. See what employers are looking for, what job titles they are using, key words or skills repeated in job postings, and in a few cases pay ranges.
It is easy to get sucked into the world wide web. It is safe and it doesn’t require speaking to anyone. Be cautious and aware of the time you spend using on-line resources.
