[AusNOG] Work experience in networking/telecoms/DCs? Getting my foot in the door?

[Paul Wallace]

on the contrary ....

what employers want more than anything is to see honesty & you appear to have demonstrated that in spades young man.

a great attitude is the other necessary attribute employers obviously wish to see.

Employers can cope with just about anything (except dishonesty) as long as staff are upfront about things.

Good bosses care about their staff and the issues in their lives.  I was mainly referring to those who are looking for work... don't open the door and say 'Hi, I have problems', because it will have most employers backing away.  No one knows you yet and no boss goes looking for troubled employees unless it is part of a special programme...

Demonstrably false as bluehackers.org<http://bluehackers.org> (amongst others) care about the mental health of workers in the boarder IT industry, even if employers, fellow workers and creators of seriously ill-informed misguided claptrap on mail lists do not.
