while on-the-job training often means teaching someone how to do the job (in the narrow, technical, sense) it can also mean training someone the rules of the "old boys network" game. Of course, those who can play that game better often get more and better technical on-the-job training. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
