Not to be rude, but I have a hard time believing that this is the full story. From what I've seen (and correct me if I'm mistaken), fresh CS graduates are considered mostly blank slates. Did this person get really bad grades? Is their resume poorly written? Are they applying anywhere outside of Utah? It seems to me that there are a lot more factors than the part-time job you had in college. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
