I've been going through a lot of resumes lately and I want to offer simple advice to anybody seeking a Perl job: try to appear in a google search for "Your Name perl" . Sorry if that's obvious, but it's the first thing I do when I get a resume.
It's absolutely amazing to me the number of people claiming "independent, self-motivated worker" and who have never asked a question on clpm. If all your community involvement is under a pseudonym, make sure to put your pseudonym on your resume!
I know this is a tough job market now. Any other advice for people seeking Perl jobs?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
