Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005(OT) I've GOT to find a local job!
I've heard nothing from the local jobs I've applied for, but I've also got more leads. Seeing how much Samuel improved when he got his antibiotics makes me feel really guilty. If I'd been at home every night I might have noticed his lack of activity sooner and realized something was wrong. The poor sweet boy must have been hurting for at least a couple of months. I HAVE to find a job that will get me home every night! Dan > I've heard nothing from the local jobs I've applied for, but I've also > got more leads.

Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca Mega-purrs are heading your way for *the* ideal job to open up for you. I've gotten so many purrs, prayers, and well-wishes in the past few days, the least I can do is return the favor by sending out job purrs for others who are also in need. :o) Donna, and the cats who are going out of their WAY to vie for my attention this afternoon, Captain and Stanley P.S. I might be fretting with no job, but at least the CATS are entertained by the prospect of having Meowmy home on a weekday. Job purrs on the way.

I agree that it's very important to be with the kitties, although being able to feed the kitties is even more important. Purrs that you find something local! I think that the key to getting back into your former profession is having some OO experience. If say, you knew C++, employers may figure you can pick up Java or C# easily, but it's a harder sell going from procedural languages. > I agree that it's very important to be with the kitties, although > being able to feed the kitties is even more important.

I'm in the process of upgrading my C++ skills, and working on learning enough Java to be marketable. I sincerely hope I never have to learn C# (or any other .Net language, for that matter), but if that's the only way I can get a job that will bring me home every night I'll work on supressing my absolute disgust with MicroSoft. I guess I ought to rework my resume as well to better communicate the languages I'm familiar with, and the OO work I've done with Perl. >> I agree that it's very important to be with the kitties, although being >> able to feed the kitties is even more important.

In your "copious spare time," you might contribute help to some OSS projects. That way you could actually point very specifically to things you've done. It's something I've meant to do, but my "copious spare time" isn't very copious, either.

You already know C++? What's excellent, and I would definitely put that in your resume. Interestingly, the C++ may have changed a little bit since you last used it, since it was still evolving in the 90s. It has some relatively new things like templates, namespaces, and STL now, but it's still essentially the same language. The thing about software and IT is that there is always a shortage of skilled people in the field, but it's more a shortage of skills, rather than a shortage of people. Ten years ago, it was web developers, five years ago it was Java developers, and right now, probably a person who know something like SODA (Service Oriented Development of Applications) will probably get snatched up for a zillion bucks. Except practically nobody knows it.

Except practically nobody knows it. What would be an example of this? Maybe customizing an out of the box implementation of a CMS, CRS, or other hot product? Just curious, because our company was hot for someone with the skills to customize Interwoven. I'm the sys admin and got training but apparently they weren't willing to let us "figure it out" and hired someone from outside who already had the background. Oh, I'm still doing what they tasked me with, only I don't have to figure it out from books and developer websites, yet I also won't get any acknowledgment for what I'd already done before this guy was hired.

You can use it upload files (file sharing), create topic specific ;news sharing, etc. It's very unwieldy, clunky, administrative intensive, and limiting - you can's really do any true interaction with it. It's very similar to Microsoft's SharePoint. Pardon me if I sound bitter, but it's one of the reasons I had to take a job for half my pay (that and outsourcing true web work overseas).

I know, CN, that's why they bought it. The whole ROI thing, cutting out webmasters, letting regular content specialists create web pages rather than have to send them to a coder. Behind the scenes of CMS products like this is where the money is. Creating the templates that these content specialists use to turn their writing into HTML. There is a lot of work doing that.

Except practically nobody knows it. And personally, I think the language is much less important than the person. Languages come and go; unfortunately, they're easier to list than the more important stuff. Me, I learn and discard languages as I need them. I really knew my stuff about PHP for a while; same about Java. But I'm not using them right now, so they're rusty. Also, whether or not you need to know the latest languages very much depends on the industry. I work on flight software in aerospace, and it was a major effort to start using C++. STL can't be used because we can't have dynamic memory allocation in space. Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca >I HAVE to find a job that will get me home every night! Purrs, doggy-wags, and best wishes that you find the job you need and like. Hope the new leads turn up something perfect!!
