true, but not all jobs are equal. It would depend on the circumstances. One is told that having errors on a CV gives a very bad impression. This works both ways. I much prefer working for non-idiots. Working for idiots is made more bearable by having an escape plan, but I find I conserve my meager reserves of sanity better by not being in a hole in the first place. Actually, the first thing I'd think on seeing a PEARL job is "bah, I've got to get past some clueless moron first before getting to someone interesting". But this still doesn't solve the real problem of firms being disreputable (or incompetent (or startup, which means that they don't really have a as much of a choice)) and recruiting people only to make them redundant next week (or month) Nicholas Clark -- Brainfuck better than perl? http://www.perl.org/advocacy/spoofathon/
