Organization: The Ohio State University Department of Computer and Information Science


I will receive an MS in Computer Science from Ohio State University,
March 1993, and am looking for a fairly interesting programming or
otherwise job in Costa Rica (preferably in San Jose').  "Otherwise"
here is extremely loose (includes virtually everything, computer
science and non-).

COMPUTER EXPERIENCE: Using C, C++, LISP, Prolog, OPS-5, dBase, several
other languages.  Programming experience includes mathematical
modeling, database management, user interfaces (graphical and
otherwise).  Operating systems include DOS, UNIX, VMS, Macintosh.

EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE:  Only summer internships and similar positions.
UNIX and C, XWindow user interface; Fortran and VMS/UNIX, mathematical
analysis, data visualization, processing.  LISP and Prolog interfacing
with C++; DOS; artificially intelligent error-trapping for medical
equipment.  Organizations were Argonne National Laboratory (U.S.
Department of Energy); GTE Labs, COBE Laboratories, Denver, Colorado;
IICA (Inter-American Institute for Cooperation in Agriculture),
Coronado, Costa Rica.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES: American English native, nearly fluent in Spanish
(Central American) and French (Belgian).  Very good in Russian, some
experience in German and Hungarian (conversational). 

ENVIRONMENT OBJECTIVE: Ideal environment would be people-oriented,
own initiative, some management/ organizational tasks with opportunity
for advancement.  Interests include development, economics, public and
foreign relations, as well as math and computer science.  Academe or
industry or government all would be candidates for consideration.

	If you know anything which strikes you as helpful to my
interests, I would appreciate highly you telling me about it!
Thanks very much in advance.

I think this is a good idea.  Who cares if some people do not wish to 
participate; lots of us will.  This info can provide a good basis for
folks looking for jobs, deciding on career changes, etc.

Much info does already exist in public places.  Government salaries are
published, societies have their own databases, and so forth.

Now, the operative question: WHO IS VOLUNTEERING TO COLLECT, ORGANIZE,
AND DISTRIBUTE THIS DATABASE???????

This calls to the mind another problem with revealing salary histories.
It biases the hiring manager to exclude you if he/she feels you made
more money in your last job than they're willing to pay. By judging you
on your salary history up front, they're denying the employee the chance
to say "hey, if the job is rewarding in other ways, I'm willing to take
less money."

I am wondering after you all read the subject, keywords and all, if 
there's people out there in net.land who can give me advice or what.
I realize that when reading the job newsgroups that I see basically
people in the fields of CS, engineering, MIS, and others related to them
on here.  However, I am an accounting major at Purdue University who
is extremely literate in computers as I know about computing.  I am wondering
if it would be wise to try and post my resume on here for an internship next
summer.  I am going through other means too, such as publications, friends
, networking and all.  And, I figured this would increase my chances of
hopefully an employer finding a very hard-working college student for
an internship......what do you think out there, folks?  Should I post my
resume on here, knowing that it wouldn't hurt, or do you think I would
be wasting my time doing so???

Please either email me or reply on this newsgroup......thanks.
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if for some reason there were
at least a few others who are in the same shoes as myself...

                                 Thanks for your advice,

I have done a lot of contract programming and have found the best method
to be thus:

		X amount for X amount of hours (which is what you think
						gives you enough time
						to finish it.)

		Each additional hour there after you will be charged a
		discounted amount Y.

Usually the ongoing programming rate is about $50-$60 an hour.  I
usually get away with charging a flat $1000 for anything substantial
and then give the person I sell it to the rights to the program.
By substantial I mean 4-5 thousand lines of code.  This usually takes
me 1-2 weeks. ($500 a week aint to bad!) :)   If you want to talk
further you can send me email direct with specific question.

Hi, netters:

I need advices on how to deal with the boss who is breaking
our agreement. My boss offered me a position with a writting
letter two months ago. In this letter, it clearly pointed out
that the company offer me " A " amount of gross monthly income
which include " B " amount of salary and " C " amount of         
benefits demanded by law. This " C " consists of Social security,
Labor and Industry Insurance, Medicare, unemployment compensation         
and FUDA. But after I receive my first check, I found the boss
has put amount " B " as my gross income and used this " B " 
substract " C " to get amount " D " as my salary. I pointed out
the inconsistance between the agreement and the check to my
boss. The boss tryed to fool me by saying that the letter was
a mistake or saying that the amount " C " in the letter should be
paid by using " B " not " A". So far, this boss refuse to do as
the agreement which is written in the letter. Any advice will
be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

one.  I would appreciate comments from people with both technical and
non-technical backgrounds, and I'm interested in the following

Has the MBA been a boost to your career?  How?
Did you pursue it full-time or part-time?
If you pursued it full-time, how were your job prospects after
graduation?
What led you to choose that degree and the school you attended?
How long did the program take you (full- and/or part-time)?
Any other wisdom you'd like to pass along would also be greatly
appreciated.

Many thanks,

These are actually pretty standard questions. For Q1, list your
strengths. For a weakness, I've been advised to either cite a problem
that I've worked out in the past, or to state that there are none that
have ever affected my performance on the job.

For Q2, the important thing is to avoid saying something like "I'd like
to own my own business." They're asking how long you're going to be with
the company.

For Q3, just be prepared to discuss your skills and there application to
the job you're applying for.

For Q4, just be honest. If you don't care, say "I work well in both
situations'" and cite examples. If you do have a preference, say it. It
may be that the particular job isn't the right job for you, and it's
better for everybody if you say so up front.

Just my opinion...

Here's a scenario for you:

o Person goes to well-known school, and lands a job at what sounds like a
  lot of money, but then realizes that the cost of living there is far more
  than it was back home.  Hiring company never told new employee that in
  five years they'd never been profitable.  Hiring company does salary freeze.

o Person moves to job at raphidly-growing company with years of increasing
  profits.  The market gets tougher every day, and the economy slows down.
  Hiring company does salary freeze.


Salary history is not a reflection on capabilities.  An in-depth, multi-person
technical interview, however, is.

Perhaps money isn't the motivating factor in their lives?  Maybe
the job (or the environment, or whatever) was interesting enough
that a crummy raise each year wasn't that big a deal.  I don't think
there's any reason that these folk should then be dismissed when, for
whatever reason, they change employers...

I could move 3 hours south and get a $20K raise instantly (I'm in
academia, and hence paid on a lower scale), but it's not worth the
money to deal with the hassles - I *like* my job.  On the other hand,
were we to leave here for some reason, I'll be damned if I take a job
that doesn't pay the going rate for my level of experience.

Rather than salary history, I look for increasing responsibilites over
time - that's *much* more an indicator than mere money.

Sounds good but you're sure to get some resistance from people who
feel this information is too personal. Of course they are free to not
respond, and of course this has an effect on the validity of your
total survey.

Years experience is very important. Job title is much less important
than, say, a brief description of responsibilities. Someone
programming databases and someone programming scientific applications
might both be considered "applications programmers", for example, but
they pay veries widely.
