Jim Brandt said that they prefer to have it in POD format, so I've re-formatted it and put it up on the web.  I'll continue to update what's there as it's finalized.  I need to read through it in its entirety and check for any mistakes.  Please read through the document and let me know of any discrepancies or changes that need to be made.  I've uploaded both *.pod and *.html versions.  Feel free to look through my *.pod syntax and let me know if anything seems out of place.

Pod::Checker shows some warnings (none of which look critical) and otherwise
states the syntax is fine.

Thanks for the work on this, Jeremy.

Any idea when you will be sending the proposal?

I plan on reading over it and tweaking it around lunch time.  I want to
submit it before 5:00p (probably between 3:00p and 4:00p).  I believe
the draft online is now a tentative "final" draft.  Let me know if you
spot anything else that needs fixing.

Done.  Is there a way to have the list items closer together, or is that
just the way pod2html parses it?  No big deal, I was just curious.

<topic type="off">This isn't exactly a Perl related post or question</topic>

I'm in the process of revamping my resume. I've received advice from
online sources, school professors, and head hunters, but everyone has
a different idea as to what is most important to a resume and how it
should be presented.

So I ask of you techies and those that hire for technical positions,
in your opinion, what makes a good resume, also what common or big
mistakes should one avoid when composing a resume?

Also, I've got a few specific questions I'd like to get people's opinions on.

What order do you organize your  resume in? (Profile, Career
Objectives, Skills, Employment History, etc...) Specifically, is my
skill set (Perl, XML, Apache, etc..) more important, thus come before
employment history?

How should I summarize past jobs/functions/roles at my previous
employers under the 'employment history' section? (Bulleted lists of
functions/responsibilities, paragraph style explaining what I do/did,
a hybrid of bulleted lists and paragraph style detailing my successes
and accomplishments, something else)

Should I include a cover sheet? What should it contain?

I realize that I'm already asking for you to divulge all of your
resume secretes, but I'd be interested too in seeing any resumes that
your particularly proud of, and don't mind sharing of course. I'd post
mine now, but it's not quite ready for public consumption, hence this
lengthy email :)

Thanks in advance! I really appreciate any (good) advice yall may have
to offer!

I went to Andy Lester's 'Pragmatic Job Hunting' talk at YAPC this year.
It was pretty interesting.  He mentioned some stuff that I hadn't
thought about.  Here are his slides. The resume portion starts on page
21: http://www.petdance.com/perl/advice-for-job-seekers.pdf

I was surprised that he said NOT to put an objective.  The gist of it
was that 'objectives' are generic and pretty much the same everywhere.

His resume is at http://www.petdance.com/resume/

You might e-mail him for advice, too.

I could not agree more.  I have seen highly experienced technicians  
and managers dilute into unpalatability a resume that should have  
knocked socks off by reciting the platitudinous garbage most folks  
claim they're after in their "objective".  If you must write an  
objective (e.g., you happen to know the recipient has a personal  
feeling that resumes are worthless without an objective, and will  
only read the rest of the resume if the objective matches his/her  
needs, and throws away resumes lacking an objective), customize it  
for the position and employer.  Generic objectives are as bad as form  
cover letters for convincing readers you have no idea who the  
employer is or what it is looking for.

Good luck!

        I work with IBTECH - the Investment Banking Technology Center 
Houston for JPMorgan Chase and am very involved in the hiring process.  We 
utilize vendors for the process and regardless of what you present to them 
- they put it into a format that we've become accustomed to.  In addition 
to that, we're in the process of hiring for another 300 positions this 
year, which will grow our site to 900.  If you or anyone else receiving 
this e-mail are interested, let me know and I will send you a list of the 
vendors to contact.  I hope that this is not inappropriate for this forum.

Thanks,
Cathy

Subject: [pm-h] possible sponsors
Message-ID: <0EFEDF9D507FF6409CE7B4D24B20E7BF0120D4C0@xchng.msc.tamu.edu>

Now that the bid is in, we need to start compiling a list of possible
sponsors.  Our wiki lists previous YAPC sponsors
(http://yapchouston.org/wiki/wiki.cgi/Sponsorship).  I've noticed a few
companies posting to jobs.perl.org (such as cPanel) that might be
possible stakeholders.  I'll probably go through some of the other job
sites (monster.com, hotjobs.com, etc), as well as do some Google
searching.

 

I'll update the wiki when I get a chance and put a link to the
Sponsorship page (or create a new PossibleSponsors page) on the home
page.  We can start adding companies and others that are potential
sponsors.

 

We may also want to start thinking about "social activities" and
possibilities for the YAPC dinner (instead of just having the dinner on
campus).  This year's YAPC dinner (and TPF Auction) was at Dave &
Buster's.  I think Toronto did a cruise party or something.  If anyone
has any ideas for adding some sort of "twist" to the conference, feel
free to offer it.  You know, just something that people can say,
"Remember at the Houston YAPC where everyone [creative idea]?  That was
[adjective]!".  I think one year had a scavenger hunt around the city
(or area?).

For those of you planning to come to Tuesday's Perl meeting and do not spend
much time in the Galleria area, the construction in that area has gotten
worse.

Richmond at 610 is completely closed. It may be worth checking your route
again before Tuesday night.

To Whom It May Concern:

Because of a recent job change I need to get up and running in Perl ASAP.
As part of my new responsibilities I will be responsible for writing and
maintaining various Perl programs/scripts to support our Linux systems and
the applications running on them.  I am looking at looking for an
introductory Perl course in the Houston, TX area and one of the Perl Monks
suggested that I contact this group to see if any of you were aware of any
such trainings in this area.  I am looking at taking this course within the
next 90 days.  Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

If you can get your company to foot the bill, Sun does a week-long course 
(DTP-250) on Perl. Check suned.sun.com.
You might want to Google for "perl training houston" or similar. There are a 
bunch of training companies that do training in Houston.

Thanks, but still looking for something specific to the Houston Area.
IBM has a class in Dallas, and the Sun class is scheduled for San
Antonio.  The only Perl training I can find is a 3 day Perl Scripting
course being offered by HOTT (Hands On Technical Training).  I'd
rather go with one of the 5 day courses by IBM or Sun, but I may not
have the option of traveling.  Does anyone know of any other local
trainings?

Well, I don't favor them, but Sun (and others) have online courses. They 
have the advantage of being more convienient and cheaper. But the downside 
is less personalized instruction; and they're hard to complete at work 
('cause work tends to come first).

Subject: Announcing YAPC::NA::2007 at YAPC::Europe::2006




Hello people involved with YAPC::NA 2007,

I will be attending YAPC in Birmingham in a few weeks as will Kenneth
of Team Boston.  I have asked Barbie and he says that they can set
aside some time just before the auction when the winning YAPC::NA can
make Lighting Talk size advertisement.




If Philadelphia wins Geoff will be in Birmingham and can make the presentation.

If Boston wins Kenneth will be in Birmingham.  Would you be able to present?

If Houston wins it becomes a little more complicated as no one will
be in Birmingham.  But if you guys put together a video that speaks
for itself or some slides we can get them presented.  We have some
choices on presenting...

1)  Jeremy presents remotely like Jim did during the YAPC in
Chicago.  The presentation will probably be on Friday between 16:00
and 16:15 in the UK or about 10am in Houston
2)  Geoff and Kenneth.  This shows we are one big happy family again
now that the election is over.  Fortunately none of us live in
Connecticut where candidates cannot be so bold.
3)  Someone from TPF.  Ovid, you are already making a TPF
presentation, would you be able to do this?
4)  Anyone else in attendance
(http://www.birmingham2006.com/cgi-bin/yapc.pl?act=user-stats) that
will work for Houston and the TPF.




Do we have an idea of when the decision will be made?  Will it be
possible, and should we even try, to keep it secret from most of the
world until the presentation in Birmingham?




So talk among yourselves and then we can let Barbie know what we want to do.




R. Geoffrey Avery
Philadelphia.pm

Ammon,
I highly recommend that you pick up this book and read it twice. Learning Perl, Fourth Edition       By Randal L. Schwartz, Tom Phoenix, brian d foy.

At the same time pick up  Perl Pocket Reference, Fourth Edition       By Johan Vromans.  If you have any Perl book that has any of the following words in them, then (As a novice Perl user) I'd hide them away and never look at them again...

1. Dummies
2. Nutshell
3. Sam's

If you have any questions that these books can't answer, then feel free to ask them of us.

Thank you,
Kristofer Hoch

You might want to Google for "perl training houston" or similar. There are a 
bunch of training companies that do training in Houston.

Those of you into podcasts are more than likely familiar with
Perlcast.com. I just stumbled upon a decent podcast today called Floss
(http://www.twit.tv/FLOSS). I was pleasantly surprised to find that 2
episodes are dedicated to Perl. One featuring chromatic, the other
with Randal Schwartz. I found them very entertaining and just wanted
to pass the links on...

Subject: [pm-h] Hackathon Chicago
Message-ID: <20060829175552.4172138f@sovvan>

This just in from Andy Lester.

--------------------
The Chicago Perl Mongers and The Perl Foundation are proud to  
announce the Fall 2006 Chicago Hackathon, the weekend of November  
10-12, 2006 in suburban Crystal Lake, IL. It will be a round-the- 
clock weekend of programming on Perl-related projects with your  
colleagues in the open source community. Dozens of programmers from  
the open source community in the midwest, as well as others from  
around the US, will be getting together to share ideas, work on code,  
and move their Perl-related projects forward.

The participants set the agenda for what we'll be working on, but  
Perl 6 and Parrot are already on the roster of projects. Chip  
Salzenberg, pumpking for the Parrot project, will be on hand to help  
with Parrot and Perl 6. Andy Lester will also be driving some Parrot  
maintenance tasks, and other midwest programmers will be working on  
their own projects. There's sure to be something interesting for  
everyone!

Participation in the hackathon costs nothing. The Perl Foundation is  
even providing hotel rooms at a special rate if you want to spend the  
night. Even if you're in the area for just an hour, stop by, grab a  
snack or some pizza and talk with other people interested in Perl.  
You might contribute more than you think just by talking with other  
programmers.

To find out more, visit http://hackathon.info. If you'll be  
attending, please sign in on the Attendees wiki page, and/or email  
rsvp at hackathon.info. You can also send questions to Andy Lester at  
andy at hackathon.info
