Thank you, Phil. I've been on both sides of the interview table as well, but never come across resumes with SCEA credentials as an interviewer, as I recall. Thinking back, it would have probably made me more likely call the person in for a face-to-face, but not sure if it would have played a part in the final hiring decision. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
