RE: Garrison Enterprises in Charlotte NC
Greetings, If you would be interested in hearing the truth about Garrison Enterprises, I would suggest you not take to heart much of what Philip Vector (or Joseph Bullock-Palser as he applied with us) has to say about our organization. I'm not going to bash anyone in a public forum, but I would like the opportunity to tell you the truth about our company and dispel any myths that a former applicant may be spreading. Anyone who is interested in the positions we have available is more than welcome to call me directly to discuss any concerns they may have based on the comments made by this individual. If you would like professional references I would be more than happy to provide that information as well.

RE: Garrison Enterprises in Charlotte NC
I'm not familiar with the company but I am familiar with Charlotte. I live just north of the city and I can tell you that you would not want to commute TO Charlotte from either north or south on I-85 during normal rush hours! It tends to get somewhat 'clogged'. I do know plenty of people who live IN Charlotte though and I've been there plenty of times. Traveling the cities normal streets is no hassle at all... just stay off the interstate! :) Charlotte has plenty to do for everyone though; malls, clubs, bars, restaurants, a huge theme park, "South of the Border" for the fireworks enthusiasts, racing related 'fun' out the wazoo... the list goes on. I'll just say that you wouldn't be bored there by any means at any time of day or night. Good luck with your interview! ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Re: new programmer question
What I found helped was creating an active community website in CF and showing it as a resume item. Doing so shows some modicum of design capability, obviously programming skills, cooperative / organizational skills as well as self-motivation skills. A certificate could help, sure, but frankly they were more interested in how I did some stuff, and that I obviously knew what I was doing. Not having a college degree hurt me a little, and down-graded my starting income just a tiny bit, but after a few months I got a promotion and a 7.5% raise since I skilled out of the position I was hired for, so in the end it worked out. Go in confident, knowing what you're talking about. Mik At 06:08 PM 1/17/2006, you wrote: > What is the best way for a programmer to gain > enough experience in CF to make him hirable to > a company?

The thing we look for most in a new recruit is current experience and enthusiasm. Certification is a good example of enthusiasm, but some good examples of your work and a willingness/desire to learn more would be just as good IMO. -- Warm regards, Jordan Michaels Vivio Technologies http://www.viviotech.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:11:2834 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/11 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:11 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.11 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

new programmer question
What is the best way for a programmer to gain enough experience in CF to make him hirable to a company? I've played with CF for years, would like to move from sys admin to programmer as my primary job. Would a macromedia certification help? - Yahoo!

Re: Garrison Enterprises in Charlotte NC
Thanks for posting off list (I should have requested this with original question). Since I opened the discussion, I would prefer anything negative be posted off list out of fairness to them. I don't want to start a thread bashing any company, much less a potential employer. On 1/17/06, Phillip M.
