Hello, Just wanted to post my updated resume, since there were some things misunderstood in this discussion due to incorrect wording as Steve suggested.
Here it is: http://www.scribd.com/doc/41426284/2010-11-DB-PBX-IT-Manager-Resume To Dan, I think you should give a try to DIDx even if one customer service rep didn't tell you about a promotion he wasn't aware of. I wasn't aware of it myself, but I signed up back in 2005. You are still able to sign-up for free and test the service by receiving 2 Free DIDs, without any commitment. Seems a little bit harsh to discard using a company for receiving the wrong information and make bad publicity for it, moreover when the highest officers finally give you the correct information publicly. For me, is like you went to a pharmacy/convenient store and bought something without knowing there was a coupon for it in the paper. Is it the cashier's duty to tell you, or would it be just kind from him?
