Author of a Python Success Story Needs a Job!

[Propad]

Hello Mr. Fine,
I just read your mail on the Python Google Group. I've been in
situations of searching a job many times now - in the meantime, it's
not employments but projects I'm looking for, as I'm working as a
contractor.
While I'm currently doing reasonably well, I've never been quite
comfortable with my position, as I've experienced it several times,
one day you're The King, the other day the company's out of money, and
you're just too expensive to keep. So I went on searching for ways to
make my job more secure, and I just managed to buy a book named "Rapid
Learning" by Steve Litt. It took me several years to do so, because
the gentelman was not sending his book outside of the USA (well he
does to Canada, but I'm in Germany).
It just could be, that the book contains solutions to your situation,
as it's both about learning new technology rapidly, but also and
foremostly about selling yourself succsessfully as a competent
Programer/SW-Engineer/you-name-it. And not in a sleazy way, but still
effectively, in my opinion. It also deals with all kinds of obstacles
one can encounter while searching a job, based on age/race/area of
residence/an out-of-the-norm CV.
So just in case you want to consider the part shown in the book,
here's the link:

Much of Mr. Litt-s job-searching-philosophy is also presented in
several articles on his website, but in your situation, I'd not stop
there, but go for the book.
I wish you success in your search and a Happy New Year.
All the best,
Nenad
