[thelist] HTML test (tip)

[Erika Meyer]

>never do less than you are capable...

aardvark, you are absolutely right.  If I were on the other end of 
the continent, I'd be knocking on your door!

This was probably not such a great tip.  Maybe it was so bad I now 
owe two tips.  However, I have taken three HTML tests in the past 
four days, each radically different, each with it's own strengths & 
weaknesses.

I wrote this tip after feeling used and condescended to by a 
representative of a certain international web temp group, their test, 
and their evaluation of my capabilities based on this test.

It has been an adventure, and I think it's something I'm better off 
putting into an Evoltish article. (is an article worth two tips?)

Yes, it is important to pay bills, but for what was being asked of 
me, I'd honestly rather wait tables than code HTML.  With tips (the 
monetary kind) the pay is probably comparable, and the work far more 
interesting and fun.

I think there comes a time when you are in job seeking mode you have 
to ask: is having a brain, thoughts, and ideas an asset or a 
liability in this job?  If it's a liability, perhaps I'd be happier 
(and make more money) elsewhere.

I'll save the rest for later...

BTW: apparently there isn't any such thing as a 'typical' HTML test.
