That sounds like a great idea, tho...and right afterwards...<br><br>
...it would be kewl if we could all toss our corporate/academic/govt.
connections<br>
into a virtual hat, crunch them up into a BayLISA-only database, and
configure some cron-job<br>
to spew-out focused and concise application letters to their HR Hiring
Managers or "jobs@" email addies.<br><br>
Not at all like spamming, but more like an organized effort to promote
BayLISA members<br>
experience, professionalism and availability via our own technical
expertise in these things.<br><br>
Well, maybe we ought not to, but it was inspiring concept, anyway...in my
own mind.<br><br>

This particular economic downturn isn't nearly as bad as what was
going<br>
on in the early '90s though. It's certainly taking more effort to
get<br>
a job, but there do seem to be jobs out there.<br><br>
There's definately a lot more competition - and it's certainly
harder<br>
to stand out, if you don't have something that already stands out
about<br>
your skillset.<br><br>
I've tossed around the thought of putting together a "resume
writing<br>
and interview skills for geeks" talk, but have yet to get past
the<br>
"is this a good idea" stage.<br><br>
Thoughts and comments on that would be welcome ;><br><br>
cheers!<br>
