Re: Jobs.
Hi Alex!
In my experience, having had very many different jobs as I did not ever know what I wanted to make of myself in this life, I'd have to say that I always got jobs through people I met and got to know. Getting a job is like getting a girlfriend in that sense. I think I've gotten one or two jobs from the paper, and only one with a resume. Look for a friend who can hook you up.

Re: Jobs.
I agree with China Cat, networking can't hurt. Tried the ol' resume routine quite a few times with no success...but rubbing elbows seems to be opening a few doors lately. Now I just gotta do something with it.

Re: Jobs.
Each one is about a very complex heist, although against casinos in these movies. Lots of big name actors. Very entertaining. Think updated versions of The Sting.

Re: Jobs.
Any car chases with big block american hot rods?
I liked the movie Ronin as much for the car chases, but it seemed weird watching beemers and mercedes. Same for the Bourne series, I still can't get past a Trabant against a mercedes SUV.
