Nerd humor: we know programmers like this!

Yeah I know, and my interviews all be like, "how good are you with databases" and in my head I'm like, "does it matter?" I mean seriously. :/ it's pretty sad.

Take post it notes with you, as a visual aid. The HR people haven't a clue, but most IT managers will.

By the time I took a course in Access, I'd already used Basic, UNIX, and DBase 3+, as well as Access to design databases.

Instructor asked us a simple task: design a database for employee records. Everyone else did everything in one database, while I designed a decent, relational database with all the same info and a few extras. Nice, tight, and it blew him away. He didn't know I'd designed a project database for AT&T before they hired me. Almost every class I went to at ASU (Tempe and Phoenix) I blew away the instructors. Why? Because I wasn't a programmer, I was an end user. Bit I had good training for that.

I don't know what they teach kids today. All I know was I'm overqualified for the jobs I was trained for. And under qualified for jobs I could do.

Go figure.

that's why it's a big joke with me. all of the IT analyst stuff I go for, they say I have a too business heavy background, all of the business analyst stuff I go for, they say I'm too IT analyst heavy. They're both idiots because it's the same damn job.

That was hilarious! LOL
