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

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!
