I've been looking hard for a legit software engineer job. And I think I'm on the right track, but for the most part I've had no luck getting the job I want. For the most part it appears Arizona is deep into Java/.NET. I know how to write in Java and C#. I've been programming for 5 years of my life as a open source contributor and made one close source project I released for sale. I should mention I have a certificate in Object Oriented Programming. The company Stepfy, lets me use Java heavily to write web spiders to collect data. Stepfy, is a start up. So far the stock certificate is worthless, till the company starts going public in the next few months.
I'm hopping if I post my resume here I can get some better ideas how to write my resume and maybe how to job search. A lot of job agencies appear to be really iffy about my experience w/ out a bachelors in CS or 1 year of real experience. Any tips or ways to appear more attractive to employers?
[EDIT]
I doubt this is in the right area, since I meant more Software Engineering.
