Unfortunately I will have to disagree with you on this one. Having been searching for solid employment for the last year, I'm finding that the managers seek only to place someone who has done the exact job they are trying to fill. And this is with 22 years of relevant experience on my part. 8 years of web-back integration, 13 years inside the unix kernel, coupled with 9 years of RDBMS experience don't seem to hold much weight anymore. You mention examples, I have a pair I use having fully developed both sets http://www.misc.com/costumes/Dickens_0312/index.php http://66.134.203.2/~beacker/genbank/gbf_extract.cgi?LOCUS=AF158101 The first being a photographic PHP based mechanism that I use in at least a dozen pages without change. The second being a 30 million record data set I utilize for selecting GenBank info. I'm finding it very frustrating that my knowledge and capabilities are not found to be compelling. I have utilized C for over 21 years, and perl for 20 years. Yet these don't appear to be enough to get a position in Silicon Valley.
