I haven't done that many interviews, so take this FWIW, but I'd be reluctant to be interviewed by a 3rd party. I'd have no way of getting a feel for company culture, plus you probably wouldn't be able to answer MY questi

My main advice: work on your sales skills before you do anything else! I'd like to think I have decent people skills, but when it came to sales, networking, negotiating,... it wa a rough ride to the point that I'm back to look for

It's been a couple of years, but I used to work at a place that published a number of books. Usualy wholesale price was %40 off retail. Amazon demanded 55% at the time or they wouldn't sell the books. I can imagine some publishers

How do you get to the place where you can give clients numbers like that though? (this will make you 20K). Past clients would be reluctant to tell how much a new site has made them I would imagine (and it can be hard to pin down for certain

Just for more feedback: extremely interested! I'm not able to do it right now, but please consider offering it again in the future. I'd also be interested in working through the material on my own with a limited support or a forum

Wasn't 95 the first "full" DE and sligthly better game support? With 3.1 you'd still boot into DOS and start up windows to play solitaire.

Wow, COBOL. Twenty or so years ago as a teen it was my second programming language after learning GW-Basic. For some odd reason it was the language a local academy was using for it's intermediate and advanced classes, I ended up writing a v

Same here, around 8-9 years ago... on a laptop. Things would break all the time for me and it was hard to even use any vanilla kernels on it. It taught me most of my basic linux skills, and the forums were a treasure of information (before
