@CoughlinJ: isn't it also obvious that we should eat healthier, exercise more, and watch less TV? What I have observed again and again is that many engineers start off with positive qualities but lose them over time. What's obvious to you may not be obvious to someone who has been working at the same company for 20 years and hasn't interviewed in just about as long.

I've been in the same position for 6 years, so I know what it feels like to become complacent. I just thought it'd be obvious to anyone gearing up for a change. It's like checking the gas tank indicator in your car before making a trip, and making sure you packed clean skivvies.
