You are old. Things were different then. I know because I did the same thing. I also know young people who are doing the same thing we did. I have done the open book open open google test project to see if you could do 10% of what your resume says. Looked to see if they would ask a question because one task was not possible. bad Steve. Also had part of a project with 20 errors and timed how long it took you to fix it. Errors went from misnamed parts to a newer version of a service reference that you probably failed to look at. To add insult to injury I stated that pay scale was determined by this. Your certification means something to a lot of us. From my perspective output as well as design was more important. -- Stephen Russell Unified Health Services 60 Germantown Court Suite 220 Cordova, TN 38018 Telephone: 888.510.2667 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
