I apologize but browsing first thing in the morning, was I the only one who assumed this was a joke?

Any ideas on making a visualization?

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

Yes, and point taken.

Thank you

I want to thank all of you for the great comments and advice. I had absolutely no idea that this would get so much traction. Some of you have given me invaluable insight and I hope…

Again, I appreciate you taking the time to comment. It seems though that some of the "tough love" comments are just beating up on me for whatever reason. It's really not necessary …

It's alright. I don't mean to come across as ungrateful for the advice, I have just never posted here before. I slapped that in there just because I had to put something in. I didn…

Cool. I have no idea what that means but, yeah

A hiring manager from a job I had for a year in Tampa back in 2005 got me my last two interviews. So, I have been attempting to tap my rather small network, It isn't that large tho…

No, the financial situation is complex. It isn't about patience. Quick example would be having the opportunity four years ago to work for Rackspace as a Linux Admin but I couldn't …

Right-Right. I don't know what it was in the OP that gave people the idea that I am still working help-desk stuff. It was my first technical job.

Planning to.

>if you don't actively participate in a community nobody is going to give a shit about you, much less hand you a career with a pretty bow on it. Nope, obviously. They sure will pos…

I appreciate you being blunt. I'm not going to get anywhere if people tip-toe around any issues they may be able to bring to my attention. I'm not easily offended. I appreciate the…

Sorry, Did I say something negative about coworkers? And again, the talent I am referring to is the ability to learn quickly because of a great mentor I had when I was much younger…

Absolutely! I really appreciate that.

Yes, I am aware of and use some of these. I have an ex co-worker who is still a close friend and a developer who is always giving me advice and helping me find these kinds of resou…

Thanks much. The 'bluffing' was how I got the tool-belt. Again, my apologies for such a sloppy first post. LinkedIn, while up to date, has never done anything for me but spam me ab…

This is rather unsettling as I have never asked for an employee record from anyone before. I have thought to run a background check before. However, I didn't know or have the time …

I meant to reply to this first. I didn't expect so many responses. I am located in Upper East, TN. The Tri-Cities to be more specific.

I speak well and make a great first impression, honestly. I have always understood how important that is. Having said that, I just realized that what I started considering as the p…

I have considered all of this. Most likely, what few interviews or solicitations for resumes, then interviews that I have had have been from companies who are willing to overlook m…

I have worked for large companies before. Defense Contractors and in Operations for very large retail organizations. Am working as a contractor now. Thanks for taking the time to c…

I actually do well in this part of what has regrettably become the norm in the industry for "interviews". I don't really know what I am doing wrong other than needing to refresh my…
