ATTENTION: I've decided to put the upgrade on hold due to a compatibility issue of our server environment with the latest CS installer package. CS 2008 now requires SQL Server 2005 as the backend DB but our database server currenlty has SQL Server 2000 installed on it. I'll resume the upgrade once I figure out when Telligent is releasing a patch to the schema compatibility issue. For now, we will continue to use the old version of CS while waiting for the said patch. If you have any questions about this process, please don't hesitate to post them on our forums and I'll answer them as soon as I can. Thanks for your patience and support guys! I'll let you know as soon as this is resolved. - Keith Rull

    Your education background, school projects, positive attitude, views and opinions, training, etc...these stuff might help you boost your chances if short of actual experience. 

    It may help to create sample codes or actual projects on your own and then show these as demo in your interview. That is what I am currently trying to do. Just build small stuff that demostrates certain level of skills.

    I have to agree with Marl. but I would also like to add one more ingredient that would help you to land your first job and that is create a technical blog and add it to your resume Smile

    Seriously. You should consider doing it. Blogs demonstrate your skills and aptitude about technology. It also shows how you communicate with people and how you write code. Create several blog posts about technology explaining the basics to the advance topics regarding the skills that you have and that would help boost your chances on getting hired.
