Re: Portfolio's

[Chuck Martin <cmartin -at- SEEKERSOFT -dot- COM>]

I once had sometell me that the person in charge of the department did not
take floppy disk from strangers because he was afraid of viruses. At the
time, I had a carefully crafter resume in WinHelp format. Needless to say,
I took offense, and decided that I did not want to work for a person who
evidenced such an attitude.

If he was that worried, he could have taken the disk and spent 10 seconds
running a virus checker on the file. But to simply imply that I cannot be
trusted to give him a clean file is rude.
