[TriLUG] Looking for jobs... any ideas?

[Michael Ham]

Hey guys,

I am a TriLUG lurker, and I am about to finish up my degree in CIS
(Programming focus) in a few weeks.  I am trying to get a development job,
but all the ones I see out there want experienced developers.  The problem
is that I can't get any experience unless someone hires me.

I am sure many of you have been in my shoes before, and I would really like
your opinion(s).

Specifically, my main strength is in Java programming, but that probably has
little bearing on the actual results of this e-mail.

So, any help you guys can give me on how I can get myself out there and
ready to go by next month when I graduate, please let me know!

Thanks,
Michael
