Re: Looking for Ada Employment

Mark, go through the archives of this newsgroup and you will see that
in recent months two headhunters, four defense contractors, four
civilian corporations, two non-defense government agencies, and two
foreign governments posted requests for Ada programmers, designers,
engineers, etc. You may also send your resume to the MITRE Corporation
202 Burlington Drive, Bedford MA 01730. The largest numbers of
openings seems to be at that one posting from Texas, comptech, 
and Raytheon, but the headhunters seem to be claiming that they have
jobs all over the country. Try the companies that posted job 
requests before you give your resume to a headhunter, however. 
Dont pay people to do something until you have tried to do it 
yourself. Also, be aware of what you have to do to withdraw
your resume from a headhunter, and how many years later the resume
will surface, and especially be aware of the fact that headhunters
are like judges, attorneys, policemen, and insurance agents in that
it is not illegal for them to lie and break promises to you. If
a headhunter tells you that it will be discretely used only to 
answer existing job requisitions, it is not against that law for that
headhunter to make 1000 copies and send it to every company on the 
Internet or in the Yellow Pages, for example. Until the laws change
to require truth, you will have to use a little caveat emptor.
