Re: This may be stupid but..

recruiters will make sure that you only see resumes with some acronym begining with "CC", and/or "MS". this is not useful if you are not attempting to staff to replicate those notions of what an *sp that uses nanog needs. two of my best hires (at sri, .5k hosts, circa 1987) were simply trainable. an english major (f) from reed, and a cs major (m) from a school that taught cobol as a modern language -- i hired him for his night job skills, managing an auto body shop, managing ordinary joes holding tools. i'm recruiter-proof. i'm not sure i'd want anyone who wasn't. eric
