I want someone to do a background check with my sources to see what they are saying, but I have been looking and haven't found any. Do I contact the ACLU or some other group and have them do it for me? I usually pass the reference check, but as soon as they get to checking with employers, I never hear back from them. Or sometimes I get a sh*tty answer that "While your experience and background looks impressive, we have found people more experienced and qualified than you." type of answer. What does it mean? Does it mean they don't think I am as experienced as the others based on my resume? Are they getting those VB developers with 20 years experience in VB that are lying about it? I have maybe 10 years, when it came out for MS-DOS before the Windows version got big. Not that years account for anything unless you use certain features of it everyday and get around all the bugs and gotchas.
