| For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training. We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk. Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active! I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here)) |

Finding the right holes
Nothing to do with my usual writing here, but a piece I wrote as someone who very occasionally interviews, and is sometimes asked for my comments on CV and the like At an interview, you have an exploration of both how person "x" can be useful to company "y", and also how company "y" can provide the work, environment and package that suits person "x".[82][c2]à [82][c2]àIt's a two way street, and it works best if both sides give full and honest details. By giving full information at or beyond what's the minimum needed and showing an openness to discuss these things, prospective employees can show a) A desire to help the prospective employer make the truly correct choice b) That they have thought things through on a personal level - especially important if you've got a relocation and family involved. c) How they may fit into the actual job / skills you wouldn't have considered. By showing the desire to work with (perhaps even giving information that won't effect the job and is personal), you're showing a level of trust, and that you're less likely to become a high maintenance "but my rights are xxxx" employee. Interestingly, things that you consider could be a negative may in fact be a positive anyway for a prospective employer.[82][c2]à It's a case of fitting square pegs into square holes, and round pegs into round holes.
