I will confer to you on this point: There is more to a work environment, and hiring, than just ability. The business culture needs to be addressed.
However, NO company's business culture should include Racism. William -- William E. Seiter Have you ever read a book that changed your life?

"getting the job done" can be cultural since there's no business absolute success measure. Using globally developed best practices increases your odds, but there's not guarantees. Put another way, an employer may choose not to hire you, even if you get the job done, because they don't think you'll fit into the culture and therefore you'll distract the team. In the past that might have meant you're black or a woman, but "fit" is still a valid reason not to hire someone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Check out the new features and enhancements in the latest product release - download the "What's New PDF" now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:245323 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
