Darn it! I knew something was holding me back from getting that prized Military-Industrial Complex job I've been pining for...

Level with me, Brian...it's Mistake #2 in my case, isn't it? 'Too modest'...

Dane: There is surely a spot for you on the comedy channel. After struggling against high winds and deep snow since early morning, your quip was priceless and certainly hit the spot.

Thanks Dane......I may have woken up the near dead (I live in a town that appears to be stocked full of retirees) I laughed so much.

I always thought a Military-Industrial Complex was associated with an inferiority complex... or is that an Oedipus complex?

"... Check your spelling and grammar ..." ... their resumes ..."

It helps to spell the last word "résumés" (to differentiate it from a form of the verb "to resume").

Very interesting and sensible article. But I'm allergic to job applications; actually, I'm used to clients applying to me and I would start work on a handshake. I usually have had a modest site up for those who like to look but I kept it specific to the work. I haven't used the huge social networking sites, mostly because MySpace' puny servers; their bloated pages don't load properly on my computer. Better to use the more industry-specific networking sites, as the article recommends.

Reputation and good relations and communication skills are your best assets overall, so take care of your ethical Ps and Qs, be thoughtful in the way you communicate, and the rest will be good. And if you don't like the available jobs , go out and make one of your own!

The good doctor is technically correct if you are writing the word in the French language. The English language more commonly makes use of the version that you posted Paul.

You're correct...it's called "Nuclear-Tipped Missile Envy"...
