Maybe programming jobs will have fewer hobgoblins. > Or fewer interviews... 1980 -- after graduation, I only managed 3.5 interviews (the .5 was a phone contact from a Lockheed Texas branch -- but I'd accepted the Lockheed Sunnyvale offer only a few days prior. In the six month unemployment after my first lay-off (~2002), my only interview required lots of former co-workers suggesting me back to another manager at Lockheed (HR was going: we laid him off, why should we hire him back now?). They took me back the week after unemployment and severance benefits expired. Second lay-off I didn't stick around the high cost of living Bay Area; I took the severance and moved to MI, and had to beg a complex to rent a unit to me (credit score and showing my savings account with lots of severance -- and an agreement to pay the rent in 6 month chunks, got me in). Only snagged one interview in the subsequent year. And I'm struggling at that job... Embedded avionics was not in my prior experience, and they seem to expect one to be able to change software one has seen only an hour earlier. -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/
