You didn't say what your dream job is, but I'll assume it's as a software Engineer. You also didn't say at what level you expect to start. There are lots more questions than what you've answered so far. Like what degree do you have, and from where? Can you read/hear and understand English quickly, both written and verbal? Can you write correct English (as opposed to what we see here on the forum)? Can you write a good resume, and a great cover letter? Do you know any one computer language thoroughly? Or just a little of many languages? Have you ever worked in assembly code? Do you know what a transistor is? Have you ever built a compiler or a debugger? Have you ever written code that has to run in very little memory (like less than 4k)? Have you ever worked on projects where the end result had to have 100% reliability? Have you written multithreaded code? Have you worked on multiple operating systems? Have you ever read Knuth? Or P.J. Plauger? Or Sedgewick? Can you explain (roughly) Huffman encoding? (I looked up Huffman's paper (I think it was written in 1952, in IRE) and studied it, about 25 years ago) Have you ever worked with the public? Have you ever debugged somebody else's code that was over 200k LOC? Do you have good references from past jobs, and are those jobs relevant to what you hope to be hired to do? Do you belong to any professional organizations, did you get any honors in college? Do you have any industry honors, either from patents, or from ACM or other recognized organizations. Can you point to projects where you've made a substantial and identifiable contribution, and describe those contributions in terms that will interest your prospective employer? Are you personable, and can you participate in a debate with someone who seems to deliberately be trying to trip you up? If you have opinions or preferences, can you explain clearly why you have them? Can you interact with an interviewer as an equal, respectful but not subservient? Perhaps most important, have you worked with somebody who really liked what you do and who now works at one of these companies, in a place where his recommendation will help? The best jobs are seldom given to people who send in a resume blind, or who work through ordinary headhunters. These and many other questions, plus luck, patience and persistence will determine whether you get that dream job. -- DaveA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
