How do you get your foot in???
Hello,
I am an aspiring Project Manager (especially one for Cisco). I currently hold only my High School diploma. I'm looking into a boot camp where I can get my CAPM where I can work along PMs. Is there a way I can speak with a Cisco Human Resources employee or a Cisco PMP Director???? What do I do to get in?
I would greatly appreciate your answers....thanks in advance
Basically, as kajbj mentioned, you should call companies. People generally are too reliant on online job sites looking for jobs. The HR people get swamped with resumes from these sites so even if you do find a junior dev job your resume might not even be looked at. Getting a hold of an actual HR person on the phone can do wonders. Also, have you tried applying for Senior level jobs? As long as your resume clearly indicates your level of experience then there is nothing wrong with applying for a job that you don't think fits you. Many companies have different definitions for what 'senior' developer is. Also, many companies say they are looking for an experienced candidate in hopes of getting their ideal person, but in reality they will often settle for a bit less than they post. 7-8 months ago when I was applying for jobs I had applied for multiple jobs that required 2-3 years of experience and I was still in school getting my bachelors. I got a couple of calls back about those jobs for interviews and they clearly understood I was still in school. Anyway, I feel like I am rambling now.
Bullet points:
-Triple check resume
-Apply for jobs you might not have a chance at
-Call companies that you know do IT work and see if they have jobs available.

How do you get your foot in the door?
Hello!
So I feel that I've done everything right so far. I've been using Java for over a year now. I got the SCJA cert and have an active secret clearance. I live in Jacksonville FL and the market is a little bit tough right now but seems like senior Java developer positions aren't being filled, since they've been getting reposted on job sites for over a month. There's a serious lack of Junior positions available, especially entry level ones. I've only been able to find 1 entry level position in the two months I've been looking for the job. I don't have a bachelor's degree but I am enrolled in school and working on it.
So my question comes down to this: If senior level positions aren't being filled, why is there a lack of junior level positions? Is there anything I can be doing to convince hiring managers that I know what I am doing even though I don't have any professional experience with Java yet? Any advice would be appreciated.
Some additional details: I had a professional write my resume. I have two staffing agencies working with me, one of them I have a history with and is the largest in the country.Basically, as kajbj mentioned, you should call companies.

How can you get your submit buttons on the quiz template to be a single click instead of the default double click? (The option to choose double click or not is not showing in properties for this).
Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?
