(Does nothing mean no energy as well?) It's kind of you to post this add, and certainly would be nice to see others, but I would like to comment myself. Those items beyond "at least" should be in a "preferred" and/or "pluses" category. Many posted jobs, I have found to be very demanding in requirements, though most postings come from recruiters/head hunters. I have seen programming jobs asking for the world, and the 2 or 3 recruiters I have asked if they were actually finding these people tell me they are out there and waiting. In the late 90's and very near 2000, IT requirements seemed a lot more relaxed. ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
