    if you follow-up with a bit more of what you mean?

    American, United, TWA, and Continental all have humongous
    airline reservation systems for their own use and for travel
    agents, etc.  All of the airlines also have pretty extensive
    computer systems and networks for capacity planning, sheduling,
    maintenance record-keeping, baggage tracking, etc.

    These are usually quite separate systems.  All the ones I
    personally know of are considered quite mission-critical to the
    airlines...so I would rather doubt if any new graduates would be
    allowed to get too close to them until you have had a lot of
    exposure to same.

    The hot area right now seems to be expert systems for yield
    management and graphics for their travel agent interfaces.  The
    latter is considered critical, but not as much so as their other
    networks.

    Most of the airlines are currently in the process of massive
    technology updates for their reservation, yield management, and
    travel agent systems....so there might be some open positions.

    I would expect that you would be placed under the supervision of
    an experienced programmer at first, but these systems are some
    of the most bleeding edge ones in commercial use.  

    American is mostly in Tulsa OK.  United has positions in Denver,
    Chicago, and Dallas (different areas of their network).
    Continental is in Dallas (I think)...but I think they are still
    in Chapter 11.  

    I would also check out the hotel systems...most of which are
    tied closely to the airline systems...and there are quite a few
    undergoing technology updates right now.   Satellite circuits,
    radio WAN's, handheld I/O, etc.  

    Good place to get experience with mission-critical systems...IF
    you can survive the pressure.

    Quite a few companies USED to do a lot of testing on general
    intelligence, aptitudes, attitudes, etc. up till the late 60's.

    What happened is that the discrimination measures just about
    obsoleted most pre-employment testing as being in some manner
    unfair to some candidates.

    Essentially companies would have to maintain records of test
    scores of ALL applicants...and job histories as well.  Then the
    company would have to prove that the tests were in fact truly
    indicative of future job performance...

    Few companies could handle the expenses and the tests were
    dropped.  And of course, SOME companies DID use them for
    discrimination.

Well, I imagine on this and other such questions, you could just put a

if they ever find out you tell them it means "none of your business."
Best of all, of course, is to avoid DUI.

I would also like to have that line on places which DON'T screen
their workers for drugs.

A workspace without drug screening is a lot less safe than
one which does.  Some day a drug addict is going to cause kill
someone at work.  If it does happen it would be ironic if it was
someone who is against drug testing.

Drug Addiction is a self-inflicted illness which drives up medical
costs and one which an employer should not be made to pay for.

This my opinion, there are enough opinions for everyone to have their own.

An blurb in one of this week's business magazines (sorry I read three of them
yesterday and forget which one) said there was a shortage of engineers for
Japan's automobile industry compared to our layoffs.  The industry could
only filled 79% of openings last year.

Another article some months back complained too many Japanese grads were
taking jobs in the financial industry and not enough in technical fields
because the pay was higher there.

Does anyone see evidence of foreigners being hired to work in Japan?
I conjecture Japanese officials would view integration of foreigners into
society is an insurmountable problem.
I have seen a number of small R&D shops open up in California- Sony, Kobuta,
Suburu, to name a few I remember.

[...asks about listing academic projects on a resume...]

I would avoid listing academic projects which are simply part of
required classwork for an individual class.  I once interviewed
someone who had attended the same university as I, only a couple of
years behind.  His resume was full of all sorts of pompous glitter
about an enormous number of so-called projects he'd done.  However, I
could tell just which classes each of those projects was for (having
taken the same classes myself), and I knew which ones were just little
bullshit assignments (most of them).  This is not to belittle homework
assignments; you learn by doing homework assignments and they are
important.  But don't try to impress a prospective employer with a
resume that boils down to "see? I did the homework for my classes."
I'd say that any serious independent study project or bachelors thesis
is worth putting on a resume; just be wary of dressing up classwork.

   You are quite correct.  It takes YEARS to develop this rotten of

Fair enough.  I have gotten enough flack over the whole thing that I am dropping
all commercial comments from my postings.  Everybody happy?

I have only a few requests of everyone:

* Auto-trol has NOTHING to do with me or my services aside from the fact that
they employ me.  Do NOT send to postmaster@auto-trol.com  This will get you
nowhere.

* If you have a problem with me providing a FREE service with no commercial
comment in these postings, please put me in your kill file.  Do not complain to
my sysadmin, it only annoys him and gets me in trouble.

* Please, request information by SPECIFIC states.  I really can't answer
postings that request "the whole thing".

* Just a side-note.  Chicago is not a state, nor is Boston. You might want to
look into these things before looking for a job there.

* Finally, I have answered several people's requests to mail them information.
This was done at my own cost.  Since I have been losing money steadily on that
part of the venture, I will no longer mail people information via snail-mail.

Thank you for all those people that sent me very nice e-mail.  I try to ignore
those of you that sent me hate-mail.  

Again:  No more commercial posts from me!  I promise!

1. find USERS group and or technically oriented bboard and write for

2. read a lot of trade press and accumulate knowledge and vocabulary
in current and up coming "Hot" areas...in the mid eighties this
might have been AI, Expert systems, Unix, Word and Text processing,
today Object Oriented ...?, Multimedia, VR.... Reasonable understanding
and vocabulary of widespread technologies are needed...memory, OS concepts
like page files, networks.
   A teaching project concept, that certainly would be a good portfolio
item and might even have article/publication value is to have student
do a dictionary/glossary for a product or technology  including 
multiple/and varient uses of the vocabulary.  It has nice scale, 
relativily easy access to sources and shows ability to explain and
example technical concepts.
3.  consider more classes, work in technical feilds, most explicitly
testing aspects, many small companies have small groups doing training,
documentation and as part of process  QA and testing... the value of
a person willing and able to train users and test software/hardware 
is higher than just a writer  or just a writer/desktop publisher.
Also worth considering in terms of "other" work or classes, esp if you
have a niche already selected is to get collateral knowledge about the
end use environment/activity.  There is lots of demand for the rarer
engineer/documenter with specific manufacturing or financail experience.

He was wondering whether any of you net readers also fulfilled your service

He has a bachelor degree in Economics.
If any of you has any experience regarding this subject, please let me

   If you are looking for fun, action, and adventure, get a phone
   book or business directory from these areas.  There are literally
   hundreds of small high-tech companies in each of them...and IMHO
   you get more challenges than the average employee at the giants.

   San Jose/Sunnyvale Calif.

   Orange County, Calif.

   LA West Calif...also Marina Del Rey, Manhattan Beach....the
