I am now looking for work, and am undergoing the usual drill of sending E-mail messages in response to job/project ads and referrals.
My mode of operation is to E-mail the URL to my CV in my Website. Light and sweet E-mail and the receipient's E-mail client has the convenient affordance of letting the receipient see my CV by clicking on the URL in the E-mail message. I encountered an interesting phenomenon. Some of those companies (both placement and project subcontract work outfits) look for a Linux software developer AND expect you to E-mail them a MS-Word .doc file. My current rule of thumb is to accommodate the job placement companies - they just matchmake according to keywords, and they have too much work to educate their workers about the foibles of Linux developers. But I would expect the subcontractors to have a clue about Linux developers/users (no MS-Word, in other words). If YOU were looking for work now, how would YOU deal with such companies? --- Omer -- MS-Windows is the Pal-Kal of the PC world.
