More Jobs

Starting at about last year, I was posting about the difficulties I had with finding a job. Well, I managed to find on (I had several very good offers actually). However, I am still getting calls, emails, and even letters with offers and requests for interviews. I figured that if there is anyone out there that is looking, and has a skill-set close to mine, that I can share the info. Please feel free to review the copy/paste I did out of a couple of emails I have received, and let me know if any of these are ones you have interest in. I have several more in my inbox as well. And of course, you can always search the job opportunities with the company I work for.
