Comment I used to work for a similar agency (Score 1) 299

We faced the same issue with emergency response when I was at a sister agency to CalFire. They advertise and sold the state on unlimited data on their mobile hotspots, etc and then capped it at 25 gigs a month. I just rant multiple devices as necessary. Its a crock really.

But as was stated earlier, it may get you in the door to talk to that person. Same with a many degrees. If your skills are excellent then take the certification exam. They cost money but you can recoup the cost by finding that better job because you got through the HR scan. Some of the best people in IT I know have no degree or certifications but their job hunts would be much easier if they did.

As a student working on an MBA I read on a tablet without distraction just fine. If more textbooks were available on a kindle then I would have bought a standard Kindle over using a Dell Venue 8 Pro. My school offers all the textbooks as part of tuition electronically. Comprehension does not fail due to it being digital over a paper copy. People don't know how to read and learn anymore. In the digital format you could also integrate quizzes and testing throughout the book, highlighting is great and adding options to build a bibliography from a text quote would be amazing. This just strikes me as something that people lie about in a survey. They want to appear more intellectual so they say I love the smell of books. A textbook weighs a ton so I would rather have one little device that has all my books in it that I can carry in a bag without breaking my back.
