On the other hand, if you are a FoxPro programmer today, they'll promote you right to bagger. (Boy am I going to take some heat for that one...Just kidding folks!) ;-) I think they hired me primarily because I'm close by, either that or they were desperate. ;) It was actually the shortest candidate cycle I ever went through--- precisely one week from phone call to in-person interview (OK, I had to wait about 3 weeks before they noticed my resume in the virtual upload stack, but still), and I got the offer right after the interview before I went home. I've never had that happen before, least of all at a big company like Publix. Good offer, too. I think it was God's way of saying, yea, I'd like to you see your kids before they grow up, too. - Bob > > -- > Regards, > > Pete > http://www.pete-theisen.com/ > > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
