I had a productive day today, I think. I did almost everything that I wanted to do. I completed a major portion of the task I’m working on. In the morning, I read for an hour — dev material. And I also tried out JSF technology. I must say that I’m impressed with JSF. It makes things simple, simple validation. It allows to create OO components, instead of controllers/actions/etc. I should try more JSF examples.
One thing I’m nore sure, and this is worrying me a little. I have not received a reply from the company I sent my resume for. The offer was for a Java Architect in Montvalle, NJ. It’s very close. And the offer was to eventually move into a management role. That’s exactly what I’m looking for. On the downside, they’re using Struts and converting into Struts projects… Why? I would probably try to convince them to use JSF. 😉 I emailed the guy — recruiter — today and asked what the status is and whether I’m still in the running. No reply. Oh, well, I know I’m supposed to look only passively, but on the other hand, if I don’t receive a reply, I’m wondering what’s happening…
The job market is strong and only going to get stronger as months pass by. I know that sooner or later my resume will get accepted and I’ll go for an interview, and get a job. It would be nice if it was around the summer time. So why am I looking now? Not sure. 🙂 If something excellent shows up, why not?
