Yes, you can guess. Not the NSA, I am British... oops, perhaps I said too much, now I will have to kill you...not that we do that anymore... I mean, not that we ever did that kind of thing.

Wow, so you got lucky that you somehow managed to be reading this during that rare time of the week when you are sober! ;P

Ok I get the need for security clearances and all, but

my security clearance level needed a security clearance on almost the same level to even know what level it was
isn't that a little silly?
You think that is silly... Within the first six months on the job I wrote report on something and it was classified. I wanted to update it a little later but was not cleared to read it - even though I wrote it! I had to wait for my positive vetting process to complete, which increased my clearance enough for me to read (and update) the report I wrote.

The sourcecode isn't part of the "banking secret", is it?
For the applications I am working on it mostly is: some contains the cryptographic parts (not the entire key, but part of it), and other "critical internal work flow / document flow" info. If that goes out then.. the guy whoe sent it out will have some big trouble. It's a kind of insider knowledge.

Again, that goes for most shops. Imagine your entire medical history on the street - with some famous ambassadors on that list - would amount to big trouble too. The reason I'm hammering on it is because a bank is not more special than, say, a pension fund, a hospital or a nuclear plant. The only thing that makes it "special" is the attitude that says "wee bee special".

Is that because he killed them all?

Obviously he couldn't say. If he did then it looks like he'll get away with it.

I'm assuming you're talking about articles YOU wrote? For my online resume, I have a link to the "articles by Marc Clifton" page. For my paper resume, I merely state, "Written over 150 articles for the Code Project." ;) Marc

Yes but do the interviewers really care about that?
At least one does. I had an interview last fall where the interviewer made a point of mentioning he read my two articles.

All I will say is that my employee number ended in "...0007". Actually this is true, is was a running joke. I was "Triple-oh-seven".
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
Ok, now I have understood. Because I am the new "M", man kind, and I just renewed your license to kill. If you want to find me I sleep inside a nice bunker of the bank, its nearly impossible to enter :laugh: :laugh:

Many actively search for traces of your work without you supplying the link. Recruiters are known to check social sites, and search the web for the existance of a blog or similar that bears your name. I wouldn't put it beyond them to check developer sites such as CP or stackoverflow, too. So, if you like to be proactive and provide a link yourself, I can't see why that would be a bad thing. ;-)
