Thanks Trip,
It's hard getting your foot in the door - that's for sure - and I've been lucky enough that my race/sex/image hasn't had much to do with things - and I think that's mostly because of friends helping me push the door open.
The part that ticks me off tho is - after 9/11 I had one job sau that I was over-qualified and they couldn't afford to pay me what I was making, which was true - but it's fregging a LOT better than not having a job! SHESH!
As I now polish up my Resumé - I try to keep in mind to not be over-kill or I'll get a lot of that again.
