;DGood development

If only the job positions will be given based on merit and not on "who you know that knows somebody "

Thats the problem we face technically in this country.

The unemployed dont really get the hundreds of job openings that we see everyday
its those who already have jobs that switch offices. Because we all suffer from under employment
