Bill - Well you could get their attention by crashing a hummer into their
building. JUST KIDDING. Actually, I think the book for you might be What
Color is Your Parachute. The "system" is set up to favor someone with the
right experience and credentials and age. There are many people that don't
fit this scheme. So you need to get creative, and this book offers many
suggestions. And most of us have probably faced a career change sometime.
Aside from those list members that can argue the merits of Oracle 5 compared
to Oracle 4.

If you can't get through the screeners that say... oh, you have X amount of
qualifications... that prices you out of our range in these hard times, how
can you market? Honestly, this is more than just rhetoric... HOW can you
market yourself when you look bad to the bottom line?

and how do you market yourself when you don't have a degree or OCP, just a
lot of experience. that's IF you can get through the screeners. my pet
peeve is not being given credit for the hard work i put in to keep up with
all the latest changes even is i don't have a degree or OCP. hell i still
have a brain and i know how to use it.
