(leads and comments) Phoenix.pm: ...and All Good Things...

[Scott Walters]

Congrats, Andrew.

Feel free to send me your resume, when I see things that are up your
alley, my "Andrew" neuron will be more likely to fire.

As Perl programmers, we're in a good position to attack Unix sysadmin
jobs. Java jobs do exist still, and for some reason there are a lot of
SAP and SAS jobs. 

I don't want to diss Perl on the Perl list, and even when I'm not beinig
paid, I still sit around and write Perl, but my primary focus has been
to pick up new skills. I'm working on my Java certification, and eyeing
SAS as the next skill in the pipeline. Heather does a lot of her work
in SAS (statistics/dataset minipulation programming language). If anyone 
else is similiarly interested in diversifying, perhaps she can be 
persuaded to give an introductory talk =)

Top jobs:
1. Project Management

All of these people were hiring at some point in the past month,
if they aren't now. Weither the positions are still open, I don't
know. Many of them I've applied to and never heard back, though I
was assured they received my resume.
