It is great to be learning and doing so much with Visual Basic 6.0. I thought I was hired for my Visual C++ knowledge though. According to Microsoft and it's new .Net Framework, I am working with old technology. Ah, could be worse.
Unlike past jobs, I feel I have contributed daily to the company. Which is good, for my goal at any rate. It is also a plus to be working with AutoCAD files programably. That's pretty awesome.
Here is a list of jobs I have had in the past years. NA means that there is no method of calculating the length because the jobs involved projects which varied in length and monetary compensation.
The table was created in Excel via Brute Force, and hopefully it displays well in the Shower. I forgot two enteries and added them this morning.
Keep in mind most jobs are part-time only.
| Job | Place | Length |
| CodePlus | Fairfax, VA | 4 days |
| Sento | American Fork, UT | 1 month |
| Convergys | Orem, UT | 2 months |
| WordPerfect | Orem, UT | 2 months |
| Novel | Provo, UT | 6 months |
| Univ. of Utah | SLC, UT | 6 months |
| OneWorldOnline.com | Provo, UT | 12 months |
| TransEra/HTBasic | Orem, UT | 18 months |
| Advantage Home Appraisal | Woodbridge, VA | NA |
| DigitalWorx | UT | NA |
| ShadowTech | Orem, UT | NA |
It's a lot of jobs, but it is misleading I suppose. I've interviewed with a lot of people over the years. Had some really sweet potential jobs. I often felt it was just me somehow, but the economy is still bad.
Some interviews I often felt like I was being discriminated against. Before my legal corses, I was of the opinion that those jerks would pay, and leave it up to the guy upstairs. After though, I was seriously considering filing with the EEOC.
Anyway, that is getting away from the intent of the post. I need something very solid on my past jobs list.
