Good luck, Tom.
Woohoo for unexpected TSA pre check.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Tommy, welcome back! What kind of work do you do?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, Tom. That's a sucky position to be in. Good luck to you.
Oh, I've already talked about something they've done well! I was just trying to think about what's most useful for a person starting out in their career, like getting better at meeting facilitation, for example.
That's a good one, and often confidence in presenting themselves/their work.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Tommy, welcome back! What kind of work do you do?
Database programming. Mostly with MS Access front ends and MS SQL Server back ends. I've also done a lot of web application design, using Javascript, jQuery, XML, CSS and stuff like that.

Tom, would you feel comfortable saying what area you live in, roughly? There are a lot of us who could probably say something about the techie job market in our areas.
I'm sorry you have this worry. It sucks.

Thanks, lisah and everyone else!
I'm just too pessimistic about job-searching. But I know I'm being overly-pessimistic so I just have to make myself go through the job hunt anyway.

A question: How are resumes usually submitted? In a Word doc? PDF?
I'm trying to decide if I should buy Word for my MacBook Pro.
