I've been out looking for work recently and about a year ago. I can tell you a little about my experience, but consider running s/(\s+)/${1}YMMV${1}/g over this, mentally, as you're reading it. First, I used professionals. I hired someone to work on my resume, and I went through recruiters to find jobs. These decisions are not without their down sides, but they worked out well for me. Second, I'm working in the Chicago area, which has a lot of companies. A friend of mine once gestured around downtown. "See all those tall buildings? They all need people." If I were looking for Perl work in the more rural area that I grew up in, the search would never end. I didn't have too much trouble finding a job. One recruiter told me, "Perl is hard to find," meaning "Perl jobs go unfilled for a long time." I took a Brainbench test for Perl and did really well. A couple of recruiters required that (and that requirement came from an employer who required it), but I actually didn't think it was a very useful metric. I don't know much about any other Perl certifications, and I don't feel a need to look for any. And I repeat: YMMV In reply to Re: Jobs and Certs
