Newsgroups: comp.lang.ada Date: 1997-06-19T00:00:00+00:00 List-Id: 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.
