- August 25, 2010, 07:38:51 AMI am a project manager for HP... and no, if I ever screw up, I will not receive a $50million payout. 
I started 10 years ago as a Customer Service Rep, then moved into operations, and finally PM. Before that I did educational programs around the state of Indiana for, then PSI Energy, now Cinergy. Was a victim of downsizing, but it did lead to my current job, and the chance to move out here to Nebraska. Before that was Technical Director for a Theatre, sold insurance for 2 years (I will see your prison guard and raise you insurance salesman for worst job ever). Before that was a house manager for a theater in Richmond VA, where I met my wife.
I too wouldn't change a thing.
Wow, when you right it all down... I can't hold a job.

- August 23, 2010, 11:31:23 AMdid some penetrant inspections in my time in the navy and afterwards... ie NBBI/ASME ... I won't hold the union stuff against you. My in-laws were buddies with Hoffa in the 60's and did a lot of organizing work. My brother in-laws are still teamsters... though they are independent thinkers and vote conservative. Don't wanna get political!!

- August 07, 2010, 12:49:41 PMYes, one of our businesses is web site development. Obviously, the VulcanDrifterRiders.com is one we built. Also you can go to marketstmall.com and most of those we developed as well. We don't have any music related sites at the moment, but have done streaming media stuff in the past as well.
As to you CD's... let me know if we can help you sell them.
Cheers.

- August 05, 2010, 10:08:40 AMGretschmann - love it. I'd like to put together a web page for you and your stuff... do you have any CD's for sale? We could help you out there as well. Send me an email, let's see what we can put together.
Don't speak French, but I lived in Louisiana a while and have buddies who do the Acadian French thing... they love this stuff.
Folks if you haven't seen this youtube, you should do so. I have it posted over on the VDR blog as well. There are several more on Youtube if you are interested.

- August 04, 2010, 20:47:20 PMI managed two convenience marts/ resteraunts & drove a catering truck aka roach coach for years. The roach coach was a blast! I was a factory worker for several years before that. Then I went into home decorating. Took myself back to school. Now I've found my calling. I've been a nurse for the same home health (CareAll) company for 13 years now. I went into patients homes for 10 years taking care of them & trying to keep them @ home & out of the hospital/nursing home. Then went into our management company auditing charts & doing medical coding. Still with our management company only in a marketing position, driving all over Tn., trying to convince our doctors that their patients need CareAll! Then, I come home & take care of my sweet elderly sick momma & my sweet sick hubby. Love my job & caring for others!

When looking for experienced folks I'll look for a general security cert like a CISSP, and depending on the role, technical certs from groups like SANS (ethical hacking, intrusion detection in depth or really anything in their series) . Personally not a fan of the CompTIA certs. For forensics certs I look for CCE, and ACE or ENCE
I'll also add that I always looked for passion for the work first, experience and certifications second. I've hired some great "kids" fresh out of school who were hungry to learn.
