I've been turned down for jobs because I didn't have a bachelors degree or on the job experience, and because I was a bubbly blonde with long hair, big boobs and blue eyes.. ( I wasn't taken seriously )... I suppose I reminded them of the blonde doctor from Mad TV, all bubbly and silly.<br><br>There are girls out there that went this path but it's not easy finding jobs in Oracle for females. Maybe men are afraid of us? I don't know... maybe it's just hard to believe we actually know what we say we know, even when we have the little shiny card and the papers saying so. <br><br>I gave up on even trying... I lost my last job to a classmate who had a masters degree but he never passed a single exam at Prometric... this man is now an Oracle Database Administrator... he's not certified, never had experience in the IT field ( he had a Masters in something else ) and he contacts me for help asking me what he should do with his database issues. They passed me up for him. I should have gotten a bachelors in basket weaving, maybe then I would have gotten the job.<br><br>P.S. Yes, I'm bitter about it. Graduating top in my class with a 4.0 average in Tech school and certified, but no job after, wouldn't you be?HeartFri, 09 Mar 2007 00:06:52 -0000http://blog.kovyrin.net/2006/08/18/help-girl-to-get-trip/#comment-2460517Она выиграла, кстати.<br>Потрясающе красивая девушка.АнонимThu, 24 Aug 2006 15:51:34 -0000http://blog.kovyrin.net/2006/08/18/help-girl-to-get-trip/#comment-2460516+1vladFri, 18 Aug 2006 17:21:31 -0000
