...until I was laid-off 2 months ago. I just graduated with a CS degree last week, and I'm so screwed. I worked in data warehousing and business intelligence at my old firm (Kraft Foods). Then came the shareholder-influenced mass-layoffs....
Unfortunately, I was let-go before I was able to complete my Oracle DBA track certification (those damn exams are expensive....and I don't even have a database to practice on anymore). So now, I don't have any leads.
I have a decent resume:.PDF or Word But I feel like the 900+ resumes/cover letters I've sent since March are not reaching real people...
In addition, I see the same jobs being posted over and over. I know there are qualified people to fill these positions.... is this all a charade?
Maybe there were some body changes. For instance, my second-generation TiBook exhibits a very nasty paint blistering problem. Apple usually uses these incremental upgrades to fix nagging issues.... Hmm, I hope they'll replace mine.
Maybe, just maybe, I could get Apple to replace my defective Titanium powerbook with the new model... I hope it doesn't have the paint issues that mine did....
Yeah. Kids are too drugged-out these days. I'm a club/rave DJ in the Chicago area, and know that much of the excitement over an event comes from the headliner's name/reputation -- regardless of the quality of their mixing/track selection.

Good idea. I'll go back to the one-page format.

Hmmm... sounds interesting. Could you evaluate my resume? It's available in:
.PDF
and
Word
Damnit... they are giving me a hard time about replacing my fscked-up machine. THIS is frustrating.

Yeah, I got a lemon. We'll see what happens. Apple didn't believe me when I told them.... so I had to document it with photos.
