>when I was first interviewed some two years ago by Gruden, MX had only just come out,
this is why you shouldn't post so much on a public mailing list, MX has been around now for about 7 years (or at least the beta??) not 2. I agree totally with what Scott said. Also look at it this way, people from all these companies you mentioned are on this list. now if I was a competitor with say Gruden for example and I wanted to have a better team of Ninja's I wouldn't look at these posts and go "well gruden don't want him maybe we should take him", its not logical. if you sound to desperate it will sound like something is wrong with your skill set/references that your not mentioning. just let people know your looking for a job and leave it at that. spend less time whinging and more time gaining new skills. most frame works out there you can brush up on in an hour. spend some time getting a basic grasp of the top 4 frameworks. when a new version of CF comes out (preferably in the beta stage) grab a copy and in your own time (don't expect to only work when you employer is paying you, your employer won't be in your next job interview) build a little personal project for yourself that only you will ever see but uses every single tag and function so that way ya know exactly what is there and what they do etc. Hope those tips help, just remember this is a public list, odds are in your next interview the person sitting across from you has read this list etc. "There would need to be fairly exceptional circumstances for us to consider such a candidate." why not write back (politely) and say "hi, that was 2 years ago, since then I've become a super ninja and have solidly been OO'ing and using XYZ frameworks etc etc." and if you haven't take it as friendly advice from them and get cracking improving on your weaknesses, that's the fun thing about this industry, finding out your weaknesses and improving on them then reaping the rewards. best of luck M@ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
