I love this thread. And I appreciate the advice and encouragement from
the ones of you farther down the road. Could someone comment on how to
interpret the jobs listings we find online? I personally am ready to
find a great company to work for, but the listings I find tend to put up
some awfully steep requirements, including all sorts of other experience
besides CF. Like many, I've dabbled with Perl, CGI, ASP and half a dozen
authoring programs. But it's intimidating to think a company is wanting
strong skills in all of these.
More comments, please!
Thanks,
John Allred
