Now here's a subject I know something about! Having started from the DOS VAR world back in the very late 80's (before VAR was an acronym) My career was spent bouncing from companies that either disapeared, were swallowed up by other companies, subject to internal growth disputes, or just plain poorly managed.
I've got to say that the 'in between times' were better professional growth periods than my 'work time'. I was able to spend that time moving from DOS to Linux, researching programming techniques and really getting a handle on what I most enjoyed about open systems work. I also attempted to start my own consulting business while on unemployment, and though it failed miserably (I am not a good manager) It has on several occasions been the item that stands out on a resume that seperates me from the crowd (as well as nicely filling in any periods of unemployment:).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
