OK, I e-mailed you from my own server, not the forum's. Maybe that was the problem!

To all -
I have communicated via e-mail to rowdog. He is a good guy with a good heart and a good future. I will do my best to help him out, but if anyone out there in the New York, New Jersey or Florida area knows of a good company that is hiring, please let him know. It is very hard to find dedicated people, and I truly believe he is one of those individuals.

I am very greatful to all who have replied and I have made some contacts but no interviews as yet. I am still trying and hoping someone will give me a chance in the industry. I may have allot to learn but I am dedicated but there has to be an employer out there willing to hire someone to show me the way otherwise how am I ever going to learn more than what I know besides reading magazines.

Rowdog,
I am in a smiliar situation to you. I have recently decided that I want to pursue a career as a custom installer. I've been reading the mags for years, and I believe I do have a passion for this. I don't have practical experience programming controllers, but I do come from a Computer programming background, and the logic is there. I'm an IT tech right now, and have experience with data networks, so that would be a plus as well. Unfoprtunately I can't find a lot of custom installers in the Toronto area that are hiring, but here's hoping. Good luck to you!

I've been reading the posts on this topic and I couldn't agree more with most of what has been said. We're a premium custom installer in Los Angeles that only handle a few large jobs at a time so that we can concentrate on giving the clients all of the attention they expect. The area where we can always use more expertise is in the Remote Control programming. It is so critical that the programmers be almost anal-retentive about their coding and most of my guys are great craftsmen or brilliant engineers, but there's an art to this kind of programming. There is nothing worse than one errant Macro that a customer doesn't hit until they're showing off their new system to Tom Hanks. I know this isn't a classified section, but if there is a Home Theater Enthusiast reading this with general knowledge of Audio/Video equipment, including Home Theater Master and Phillips Pronto Pro remote control programming in the greater LA area, we should talk. Position is part-time on a per-job basis at this point, with responsibilities including remote programming and client instruction on use of systems. Must be detail-oriented and able to meet deadlines. We can offer a good opportunity in an up and coming business. Please e-mail resume and/or questions to: [email protected]

Is your center of gravity three inches higher
than it was last year because of all the earrings,
nipple rings, and even tattoo ink above your waist
(note the two different words, waist and waste,
and note that at some point an employer might
care which one you use).
All kiiding aside, and I hope you took it as kidding
because you might be feeling desparate, an employer
has two weigh options carefully when considering
training a person. Ernie, Perhaps you know the difference between waist and waste... but you don't know the difference between two and to!

Freddy...
You're looking in the wrong place...
"...an employer has two weigh options carefully..."
Note the use of two, as in the number 2. Any time the word two is used, if you can't replace it with "2" and have the sentence make sense, you're using the wrong spelling.
