You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining. Said by Roger Wright about me.
"You need me. Trust me, you reall really need me !" Of course, there is a small chance this could backfire ;P Elaine (fluffy tigress emoticon) Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?

"Hi!" tends to work well for me.

"gizza job" as Yosser would say. :-D Michael Programming is great. First they pay you to introduce bugs into software. Then they pay you to remove them again.

Why don`t you say something like this for an opening line: "I was searching for an opening line, but didn`t seem to find one." This should catch their attention :)

This is exactly why I used an employment agency when I was looking for work in '01. Let them find the job, let them make the opening sell, just give them a CV and let them do their stuff. :) However, for anyone considering using an employment agency, I would strongly advise taking no crap from them from the first time you speak to them. Let them know exactly what you're looking for and where and don't let them talk you out of it. Otherwise you'll spend half your time running round for interviews at places where you're never going accept a job. Paul

Yeah, I understand the problem, Colin. What I'm trying to say is this: I have no idea, I never did have any idea, I hate dealing with things like this, so personally I try to avoid the entire situation. Sorry, not much help and I probably should have just kept my mouth shut...... .... I'll do that now, right? ;) Paul

Paul Riley wrote: I probably should have just kept my mouth shut No,, what makes this place interesting is the differences of opinions that facilitate the exchange of thoughts. If everyone kept there mouth shut, when they didn't know much about a topic there would be hardly any posts at all. :-) Regardz Colin J Davies

Actually, you know what? I do have some advice for you after all. It's simple enough: Don't think too much. This job that you're going for, they will get a lot of applicants (which is the reason most computer employers use recruitment agencies :)). But they won't look much at your opening letter. My wife is in personel, I know how this works. What they'll do is this: Take the top handful of applicants, look through the CVs for the qualifications and experience they want. They'll be looking for a set number of interviews. If they find that many then they'll simply discard the rest. They will not look through for the people with the experience and then find the ones with the most interesting opening lines. That takes too long. They may discard you if they really don't like your letter ("Give me a friggin' job or I'll come down there and burn the place down") but that's all. I have one more piece of advice for people looking for jobs: Be yourself at all times I know this sounds like the kind of crap people come up with all the time ("Be yourself, people will love you") but that's not what I'm saying. My point is that every company is looking for something different. If you're not yourself you may get turned down for a job where you would have been perfect or you may find yourself accepted for a job you'll hate. Paul
