Re: [PLUG] OT: Help with finding employment please?


if you can get me a date with a supermodel, you can have my job.  

i find it many times easier to get a job thru someone who i already know
 that works there.  so start going to various lug meetings in the area.
contribute to some open-source projects to get your name out.  paint "i
love linux" or "will program for sex" on your car.  play a team sport that
yuppies play.  just get people to notice you and your experience.  good
luck!
