Jeffrey M. Metcalf once stated: =I agree with your comments about the pay scale. What a whopper. But as =to the request for a Microsoft Word formatted resume, many if not most =IT professionals in the corporate world today work in a mixed Windows =and UNIX environment. This does not mean, they _must_ keep their resumes in MSWord or other cryptic proprietory formats for the lazy headhunters. =I am an Application developer working mostly on SUN Solaris, but my =corporate e-mail and document infratructure is required to be MS Office =based. This is something to be ashamed of. Your employer does not respect you enough, if MS is pushed down your throat. And if it is not, then you should be ashamed of using it. => Again, my sincere apologies for flaming you, but your job posting was => beyond just ridiculous - it was irresponsible, demonstrated a clear => lack of understanding of the position you're trying to hire into, and => just plain arrogant. =The tone of the post showed ignorance about the level of the position, but =not =arrogance. While I am not a great lover of Microsoft products in general, =the =obvious MS digs you UNIX weenies always make show far more arrogance =than this poster. Look how quickly you lost your temper, misformatted your e-mail and descended into name-calling... -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-jobs" in the body of the message
