I can vouch for that. if it wasn't for the networking at the local CFUG, I wouldn't have my job here. Sure doing it this way is a bit hit'n'miss but as everyone has been saying, you have to put a few irons in the fire to get results. cheers barry.b Barry Beattie CF Web Developer Alpha Business Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] � Ph: +61 07 3216 0999 � Unit 1, 31 Thompson Street Bowen Hills QLD 4006 www.alphabus.com.au � -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TRACEY, Darren Sent: Wednesday, 24 November 2004 3:59 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Jobs at Christmas Time This is going to sound like I'm beating my own drum here, but your local CFUG meetings are a great place to tell the local developers and dev companies that you are looking for work. I've known quite a few people (myself included) that have been hooked up with employers in a non interview situation at the Brisbane CFUG meetings and end up being employed out of the deal. Its no guarantee, but its probably worth a shot. Fortunately for you the next Brisbane CFUg meeting is on next Wednesday (1st Dec) at our regular location at Bowen Hills. Send me an email if you'd like any more info.
