Living in
Palo Alto
for the past month, I've found that when
job hunting
in
Silicon Valley
, your best
resource
is... no, not the
classifieds
, but the
movies
. My most recent experience with this
phenomenon
was over the weekend when I went to see
X-Men The Movie
with some friends. Any frequent movie-goer is probably familiar with the
pre-movie ads
that are shown while everybody is waiting for the previews to start. Usually there's some
movie trivia
and some
slides
of the
Coca Cola polar bear
. Well, things work a little differently at the
Century Cinema 16
in
San Jose
. In the approximately 30 minutes that I was in the theatre waiting for the previews, I saw perhaps three or four slides that were *not*
advertisement
s for
computer
-related jobs. I believe my favorite was an ad that merely consisted of three of the four
key words
that a
job hunter
in the
San Francisco Bay Area
looks for:
wireless
,
internet
, and
revolution
. At the bottom was a URL for the company's website. The next ad made use of the all-important fourth key word:
pre-IPO
.
