New Damn near every job ad I see
or every recruiter phone call I get wants at least 1 - 2 years in .NET, in addition to the mandatory background of ASP/Java/HTML/XML.

As usual, Catch-22 - haven't got them, can't get them.

New Email came back rejected this morning
sent it to "davedapra at omniresources dot com". Retried it with "dave_dapra at omniresources dot com". That got rejected too. Retried it with "dave.dapra at omniresources dot com". Ditto.

You sure you didn't make this guy up?

Spam filtering?

copy/pasted/unspammed from my Inbox.

I'll give him a heads up to unfilter your email if you'll send it.

New He just called
says that his network people have really hosed up their spam filtering - no emails with resume attachments are making it through at all. So it's a good thing your told him to call me or I'd never be able to get in touch with him.

New Your icon is unusually apt...
I prefer to hand out a URL for almost exactly this reason.

Somebody save my life

New Your point is well taken
but 99 44/100% of recruiters want you to send your resume as a Word doc attachment. Heaven forbid that you send it as text in the body of the email, and then they have to spend 30 seconds copying and pasting it themselves to get it into their "database".
