No, my reason is so that professionals are regarded as such, with good communications skills. I have taught more inexperienced people EDI in my career than you can imagine. I don't begrudge anyone learning or asking questions. However, just because you have a low tolerance for the mangling of the English language and apparently feel the "computerese" is an acceptable way to communicate in the professional world does not mean I have to lower my standards to match yours. Maybe I am just a nasty person, maybe not, but seeing as you do not know me in any way shape or form other than ranting on a forum, I might suggest that you take your own advice to heart and lighten up. BTW read Art's last paragraph. He basically said what I said in a politically correct way. I tend to shun political correctness and actually get to the point. Also, BTW, the word is ADVICE, not ADVISE. It's not just about spell check anymore.

Hi Art. Fabulous advise and very well presented. Jonathan - Why is it when people ask for help here your responses are always nasty? Why are you signed on to this kind of forum if your only going to scrutinize when someone asks for some advise? Lighten up or don't bother responding as your energy is very discouraging to those who are new to EDI and just need a bit of help? Is your reasoning for being discouraging for your own job security???? Give it up already Art Douglas <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> wrote: Vaasmrv, My suggestion to you is to concentrate on making a great impression of yourself as a person, and to let the interviewer know you have completed training, with whatever certification you have earned. Most interviewers will take into consideration that you are new and inexperienced in the real world of EDI. But if they think you are enthusiastic (not over-the-top) , engaging, serious with a sense of humor, able to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing, they may give you a try. One big no-no. This is not an internet chat room, and neither is your interview. Loose the chat-room abbreviations, and use capital letters where appropriate plz. LOL. OMG, I wouldn't hire u f u use these. Make it your practice to use complete sentences expressing complete thoughts from now on when writing in a professional setting. You want to be a professional. Act like one. Good luck! TO THE GROUP: This is the kind of newbie email I respect.
