If your resume was attractive enough to cause us to contact you, and if that contact was attractive enough to cause us to consider you, then we would probably check out your website. So you do what I've done in the past. Put your URL under your email address on your submitted resume. Around here, we do NOT accept HTML resumes. Electronically, Word docs or PDF docs are accepted, but to really impress, printed-on-nice-paper resumes are a win. -- |_ CJSonnack _____________| How's my programming? | |_ http://www.Sonnack.com/ ___________________| Call: 1-800-DEV-NULL | |_____________________________________________|_______________________| .
