Also, call back if you didn't get the job and ask why you didn't (in a polite way). I had a friend just go through a tough time finding another job (not tech related) and for the interviews where she didn't receive an offer she called and asked what she could improve on, whether that be job skills, experience or personal. She got a lot of good feedback.

Comment Re:Because men don't quit to have children (Score 1) 427

I'm sure this is very uncommon, but I worked with a guy who took a year off when his wife had their third child (she only took a month). Why? Partly because he wanted a chance to be the primary caregiver but mainly because she made more money than him and it made economic sense.

So, if women were paid better than their husbands, would we see more situations like this? I think yes, but probably never the majority.

Comment Re:Should Everybody Learn Calculus? (Score 2) 387

I'd agree that a person that uses a computer often should learn to script, but not to code.

Again, we're talking degrees of knowledge. My 78 year old mom uses a computer often, daily in fact. She checks email, plays Mahjong and Solitaire and surfs the web. I don't think it would be beneficial for her in any way to know how to script, let alone code. Think about all the people who use computers often/daily in their work, they're in the same situation.
