Hi, I contemplated whether to send this email to this list and i usually would not be so public about this kind of thing, however, i am a bit at a loss and in need of some tips so i hope you'd bear with me. I have recently finished my MSc studies and wanted to find a linux related job. Not necessarily kernel hacking/device drivers though this is what most attracts. I can say without a doubt that it is difficult to convince potential employers of your capabilities without a proven working experience. It is the old chicken and the egg problem. I would have thought that 3 separate degrees and my 2 years experience with PostgreSQL internals would have some leverage, however, i came to believe that this is a myth. Usually it goes like this, i get 2-3 professional interviews and then get a negative answer. I get the feeling these big companies i go to, just fill their interview quotas and in the end takes people with the most working experience. Especially in the north, where there are something like 30 people contending per job. Can someone throw some tips as to how i should proceed? 10x.
P.s.: As to some who would have paranoid thoughts that this is self advertising, let me assure you that you are only partly correct, but there is no other way to ask the question. So i apologize in advance for that part. -- Regards, Tzahi. -- Tzahi Fadida Blog: http://tzahi.blogsite.org | Home Site: http://tzahi.webhop.info WARNING TO SPAMMERS: see at http://members.lycos.co.uk/my2nis/spamwarning.html ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
