Good luck with your interview."
Louis Bina commented on Louis Bina's blog post 'Why Do Insurance Co's Like Me So Much?'"Thanks Sandra. It's nice to get attention but I seriously have 0 interest in insurance, financial advising or anything of the like. On a positive note, I have an interview tomorrow with a marketing firm! Sweet."
Sandra McCartt commented on Louis Bina's blog post 'Why Do Insurance Co's Like Me So Much?'"Don't take it personally Louis. The Insurance recruiters and the call center recruiters work the boards like locusts. Any resume that comes on there unless they are in the over 60 age group gets an interview request from them. …"
Amber commented on Louis Bina's blog post 'Why Do Insurance Co's Like Me So Much?'"I got lots of those responses too, Louis.

Louis Bina posted a discussionA Comparison in Mac Functionality

It has been common knowledge for years that this particular system runs exclusively on Windows machines and only with Internet Explorer. In this video, the CEO sits down and demonstrates that to run their software on a Mac, all you have to do is purchase a license of…See More
Dean Da Costa commented on Louis Bina's blog post 'Resume Writing Services: Attractive Nuisance or Clever Candidates?'"I do not agree with everything you said.
