I can certainly understand being upset at someone waking you up by a
persistent banging on at the door etc...  That was not my point in my
post.  My point is that the poster who complained about "a pathological
amount of religion" down here implied that he was polite because the
"nuts" had influence.  That is not a proper reason to be polite.  My
other point was that people knocking at your door to peddle religion
are not nearly as common as he would suggest.  Of course, I live five
miles out of a small town -- maybe they've just never gotten to me
yet.  ;-)    As far as I'm concerned, if Joe had enough reason to be
impolite, he should of been so regardless of what influence someone
might have had.

As for South Florida, there's some question as to whether that is
properly the South, as there are so many Yankees there now.

I appreciate your sentiments, but I believe that the South is ALREADY
rising again.

   Yes.  It's also unreasonable for the applicant to get upset about
wasting time interviewing when he/she didn't get some idea of the
salary beforehand.  The responsibility for honesty and openness rests
with both parties.

Hey, I heard it that way too!
I worked in Atlanta for a couple of years, and then in NC for a few.  I have
decided that it's more a rural vs. urban than south vs. north dichotomy
that makes me prefer the South (so what am I doing in DC?  Well, I was born/
raised in Baltimore...).
An employer once condemned me to seven weeks in Boston.  Gads, I was *so* 
glad to get back to Southern voices!
People seem so much friendlier there, although that is much more so in the
smaller towns and suburbs than in downtown areas.  As a previous poster
mentioned, the people in ATL drive like maniacs sometimes.  The perimeter
during rush hour is practically bumper-bumper, but is *still* close to
65 MPH!.  Ahem, their "perimeter" (I-285) is our "beltway" (I-495 or I-695).

I had no trouble.  I was amused by the occasional reference to damn yankees,
though it was never directed at me personally; maybe it would have bugged
me more, although I spent 17/18 years from birth in Baltimore, safely south of
the line (the other 1 was overseas).

So try it, you'll like it.

Hello everyone!

I will be receiving my BSCS from Willamette University on May 16, 1993
and plan to move to and work in the Boise, Idaho area.  I plan to post
my resume to misc.jobs.resumes shortly.  Before I do so, I would very
much appreciate:

  -- advice/suggestions/comments from prospective employers on how my
     post can be as effective as possible.
  -- prospective employers willing to review my post before I actually
     post it to the network.

Also, is it considered a violation of net etiquette to post one's resume
to misc.jobs.resumes every two or three weeks?

I prefer e-mail responses; however, I am reading this group as well.  If
anyone requests, I would be happy to post a summary.

It's very interesting that you were born in Baltimore but went to Atlanta
to work.  I am currently IN Baltimore, looking for a job, but I spent the first
twenty years of my life in the suburbs of Atlanta.


Right now, I am just visiting Baltimore.  I am trying to line up some 
interviews with some PR Firms and other places around here.  I really LOVE
the atmosphere around here, although it does have some negatives that I
never experienced in Atlanta.

The look and feel of Baltimore is much older and more historical than 
Atlanta.  Then again, Baltimore didn't get burned to the ground...  I
get a little irritated by all of the beggars on the streets.  I think I
have run into five or six in the past two days that I have been here, as
opposed to the two or three I have seen in my entire life in Georgia.  Must
be the city living.

They don't have sweet tea here, my boyfriend eats too many bagels, and 
everyone seems to think that "y'all" is incredibly odd and obnoxious to
hear.  :-)

My first interview is tomorrow, wish me luck and here's to hoping I don't
bomb royally.

I couldn't find the end of the thread, but here is my response.


I'm posting this to net because of allof the requests I've gotten regarding
Novell's adaptive testing.  Drake Testing Systems based in Bloomington,
Minnesota is the only (I think) authorized company that can distribute 
Novell and other such tests.

An adaptive test is test with no set number of questions (15 - 25),
and a time restriction (ussually .5 hour).  In an adaptive test, there is
no going back to check and/or change answers and marking them for future
consideration.  IMHO, this type of testing is the best.  The system will
ask you a question, and based on how you answered it (right or wrong), it 
will ask you another.  It will continue asking you questions until it is 95%
sure of you grade.  There is no actual mark, only a mastery level rating.
Once the computer is sure of your mark, is stops asking you questions
and gives you a detailed analysis of your skill, and give you either
a passing or failing grade.  

(think of an adaptive test as if your grade school teacher is giving you
an oral spelling bee.  She will ask you harder words until you get one
wrong.  Then she will continue to go between harder and easier words until
she is satisfied that she can estimate your grade accurately!!).


A form test is of the type that most of you are probably most accustomed
to.  Here you can mark you answers, go back over them, change them, etc..
Then you exit the test and the computer again scores it and presents you 
will a grade.  

Drake charges $70AM per Novell exam.  Call 1-800-RED-EXAM for more 
details....


Hope this helps you all...

We are a NAEC (Novell Authorized Education Center) and the way that I 
understand it is that the CNA designation is not applicable towards the
CNE designation, but the courses are.  That is, if you become a CNA, 
(which includes 4 courses, all of which are needed to become a CNE),
and you want to get your CNE, you must take all 4 separate tests plus
the other 2 to get your CNE....

We are also an Authorized testing center.  The CNA exam is a 15-25 question
adaptive exam (for a test which includes 4 courses).  The regular 
tests for the CNE designation of those 4 courses are 4 half-hour separate
adaptive tests..

Hope this helps...
