| I have posted about 28 links on my Seattle page, but I have about 120 more in an OpenOffice spreadsheet. However I haven't been getting much sleep at all the least three weeks to I better get some Zs before my eyeballs both start bleeding. I have a total of 27 separate OOo Calc documents, one for each of the countries I've researched so far. My United States spreadsheet is the most extensive, with a couple dozen states and a couple dozen cities. My Canada spreadsheet has most but not all of the provinces, and most but again not all of the larger cities in the provinces I do have. I decided the other day to give our friends in Ukraine a leg up, as I know very well that they're heavily into software development, but could only find just one employer, in Kiev. However I have some connections so I will track them all down Real Soon Now. Please understand that much of my Global Computer Employer Index site consists of mere placeholder pages, so I could work out the overall web design, the directory and document heirarchies, the navigation and the user interface. I think I've finally got a handle on that, and just now uploaded a new revision, which has quite a lot of work on the navigation, eight or so new countries, many new cities and a few new US states. I added placeholders for a dozen or so cities in Los Angeles County, as I asked my friend Sari Gennis, a really high-end animator - she was the Art Director for FernGully - to pass my LA County page's link around among her colleagues. I wanted them to see that there really would be something there. I've had my Santa Cruz County, California page online since 1997, when my former employer Live Picture announced it was moving from scenic, pristine Scotts Valley to San Jose. For most of us LP employees that would mean a treacherous, potentially deadly commute over the Santa Cruz Mountains via Highway 17, so I developed my first software employer research techniques, threw the page up on my site, then quietly passed the link around among my coworkers. :::: http://www.warplife.com/jobs/computer/united-states/californ... This had the eventual result that some complete stranger emailed to inquire as to my favorite restaurant, then a few days later I received a $100.00 gift certificate, as I had enabled him to find a new coding job! |
