[acb-hsp] HELP FINDING A JOB IN HUMAN RESOURCES

[Peter Altschul]

Hi:

Specialized HR software, from what I've heard, is largely inaccessible.
Fortunately, I have been able to dodge that issue, but it does worry me.

Best, peter

What about accessibility of the specialized HR software that everyone seems
to require experience with?

"First of all:  what is work? 
Work is of two kinds:
  first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface
relatively to other such matter;
 second, telling other people to do so.
  The first kind is unpleasant and ill paid; the second is pleasant and
highly paid."
>From The collection of essays "In Praise of Idleness" by Bertrand Russell

Hi:

I have personally never used Access.  My sense is that the geeks among us
claim that Access is sort of accessible, but I am suspicious.

Good luck, Peter
