Does any in this forum have been hire to work with LINUX without work experience?

Oh, he's not nice either. He's rude and quick to prove everyone else wrong, when most of the time he's actually wrong. Everyone at our workplace believe he truly has something wrong with him. It's like he can't function around people and socialize on any type of normal level. He's the type of person you instantly know you won't like when you meet him.

By the times I am done with my A plus, Net Plus and L+ I will be a quadrupole threat, with the added advantage if my Late night here on LQ and several other forums I will have the knowledge necessary to find answers for any employer and as always I am eager to learn new ways of doing things.

But remember, just because you can answer all their questions doesn't mean you'll get the job.

Originally Posted by TB0ne No, there most certainly is room to be hired, but if you misrepresent yourself to get a job, you will almost certainly be called out on it, and probably lose the job as a result. Don't claim experience you don't have is the biggest thing. And as trickykid said, being personable is certainly a plus. But, if you don't have the skills, you'll be the nicest guy in the unemployment line. Also, speak and write clearly; good grammar and wording can kill an interview and/or resume, just as much as a lie or lack of knowledge.

I remember one person we hired way back when (I did not interview him). His resume was outstanding, and he claimed to have the experience we needed, and he had all the buzzwords down pat.

We sent him out on the job, which was at a site in the Mojave desert with the US Air Force as the customer.

Within 3 days, my boss got a call from the Air Force contact: "Where did you get this guy? He doesn't know a single thing! His experience must be fake". So my boss then had a phone conversation with the new hire. After the call, my boss had a conversation with HIS boss.

The new hire got fired. On the spot. The company even refused to bring him home; he was on his own in the Mojave desert.

Yeah, a quadropole (quadrupole) threat is something to consider. You normally are interested in the quadropole moment if you can't grab the dipole moment because of symmetry constraints. The quadropole moment is a harder one to get an atom to respond to, but the proper sequencing of fields and frequencies will often do it.

What is a mandravia, by the way? And is wastern digital one of those cheap chinese knockoffs of western digital (you know, sort of like Sakio watches?)
