At Cenveo I started as a data-entry temp managing documentation about Y2K compliance which companies would send each other as the millennium approached. One day I mentioned that I knew a little HTML. On June 15, 1999, I was hired permanently as a Website developer, wherein all that I now know about Active Server Pages (from "classic" ASP to ASP.NET) I learned entirely on the job. My position became permanent for eight years until Cenveo eliminated the position on June 15, 2007.

I like an atmosphere where I can help people wherever I think can and where people will help me as needed -- a cooperative atmosphere with no politics or "attitude" whatsoever, where I never have to apologize for doing my job.

They are fun when you want to find out about other people, but I often found such attention unrequited there. Frankly I need more convincing that such sites will help my career in any significantly positive way. Regardless, in March of 2008 I decided to give Facebook a chance. So far I am still learning what to say and do there. I may need help with its privacy settings. Meanwhile I have been lured to other professional networking sites such as LinkedIn.

At this point I feel that I ought to save myself first so that I could be in any position at all to help others.

On the other hand, were it my own organization I might feel differently. Fri, 05 Oct 2007 23:34:22 GMT http://www.jobster.com/at/answer/view/311365?answer_class=AnswerBase http://www.jobster.com/at/answer/view/257639?answer_class=AnswerBase My preference is a role that is in keeping with the fields that I have studied (writing, film, related subjects). Sadly thus far I have never been able to attract such work and therefore I have found difficulty in keeping up with such fields. Nevertheless I believe that my skills as a Website developer are adaptable to many industries. I prefer work that allows me to utilize and develop my creative and critical thinking skills. I am also looking for a salary that is at least comparable (if not competitive) with the salary I had at my previous situation.

My heroes are those who actually teach me how it is done -- and do so with patience and understanding.

Music (a folk-rocker at heart) Baseball (following the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Cubs, with an occasional peek at the St. Louis Cardinals) Sat, 04 Aug 2007 04:09:43 GMT http://www.jobster.com/at/answer/view/255463?answer_class=AnswerBase http://www.jobster.com/at/answer/view/255372?answer_class=AnswerBase Chicago is my home and thus always my first choice. Although I must remain open to relocating if necessary, it must be worth my while to leave the only home that I ever knew. St. Louis is a possibility, for I went to college there.
