    I know the endorsements are largely junk and I know people network. Some just waste time on the Internet. True story.

    Agree, I ignore them.

    The references and personal letters have...

  • RE: Don't Be a Ghost

    Do you really want your boss finding your recently updated resume online?

    Don't care. My resume should be always updated. That's prudent. It doesn't imply or mean I'm looking for...

  • RE: Create DML trigger for single table in SQL 2008 and send email alert to group
