| .. at least, get a real host to look more professional  | |
| sacredcowpaddy 2004-06-30, 2:50 pm |
| Very impressive credentials. | |
| badger11 2004-06-30, 3:11 pm |
| Sary, I have not seen the skills assement on a resume before but I kinda like it. Good job. Don't listen to the other guy he is a freak. | |
| jennie313 2004-06-30, 3:44 pm |
| Very nice. Two things though: I agree with Freak. get a real host. Domain names are cheap and hosting can be even cheaper. This is very important seeing as how you have web design as one of your credentials. You don't want geocities to negate your efforts here.
Second, there appears to be a broken image on the certificates page. Should be an easy fix for you.
Ok, I'll add a third. Just a little user testing information. You might want to put your Sary logo on each page and have it be a link back to your home page. It will keep your name in the minds of potential employers. Also, you might want to consider making your certification declarations on the home page clickable links to either your certificates or to that corresponding area in your resume.
Just some thoughts, you can ignore them if you like. Mine is only one opinion. But like I said at first, it's very nice.  | |
| curiousgeorge 2004-06-30, 7:41 pm |
| Sary,
Very nice. Very well done.
Here are a few things to consider:
Your links should open in a new window.
On your Employment History, include the specific services you administered at each job (i.e. DNS, DHCP, Exchange, IIS) and include the specific Cisco routers and switches you can configure.
It looks great.
(Don't listen to Freak. Look at his websites and you'll see why. They look like they're created from a FrontPage template. Your site looks MUCH more professional than his.) | |

More freak-bashing, there ape-boy? You have no shame. For the record, I never said that his site looked bad. Never. I suggested that he should get a real host that would make his presentation more professional.
Furthermore, I never said that my sites looked good. Not to mention that they are PHP-based CMS sites, clearly not Front Page, but not that you would know the difference.
But since you like to diss without ever showing anything of yours, show us what site you created. Come on, go ahead. Just so we can all see what a great coder you are since you get off on insulting others.
Yet another post of yours with no interest and no other agenda but to put down someone else. You poor, miserable little man. | |

| Professor Ferrous, you make me laugh.
I only point out your hypocricy.
You are implying Sary's website doesn't have a professional image, when, in fact, it is YOUR websites that don't have a professional image. They don't come close to the quality of Sary's website.
And the last time I pointed out your hypocricy was when you were trying to scold someone for self promotion, when, in fact, YOU constantly use this site for self promotion. And to boot, the person you were trying to scold wasn't promoting his site at all.
Don't criticize others for what you do yourself.
I don't have a problem with how you make a living and how you promote it.
I have a problem with your hypocricy.
btw, nice picture. You look real professional. | |
| sacredcowpaddy 2004-07-01, 2:36 pm |
| Don't you two ever get tired of acting like Laurel and Hardy?
Freak's criticims were valid. He isn't trying to get a job with his website, Sary is. | |
| curiousgeorge 2004-07-01, 2:59 pm |
| I don't think it's a valid point at all.
Do you really think a hiring manager is going to turn Sary down for a job because of the hosting site he uses??? That's like turning someone down who is absolutely qualified for a job because they drove a Yugo to the interview. It's not how you get there, it's what you can show once you're there that counts.
Anyone who visits the site will see the GREAT job Sary does.
I think it's funny seeing Freak get SO UPSET.  He's very insecure, probably because he doesn't have any real-world experience. Just ask him. He's never been an administrator or an engineer or even a helpdesk person for a company. | |

A web site is a sample of your work. If you claim to be a web designer as one of your attributes and have a poor site, it could reflect negatively on you. Same as if you claim to be great at written communication and send in a resume with spelling errors. | |

Nope, I never implied that. I simply said, and I stand by that statement, that using a free host as opposed to a "real" domain name will detract from your professional image. I never once mentioned the quality of the coding of the actual site.
So stop trying to make me the bad guy of all your stories, it's getting ridiculous. It is clear that you don't personally like me, which is funny since we've never met that I know if, and that you are trolling around threads to which I respond to try and insult me and prove me wrong. Defining who you are via someone else's posts like that is getting pretty lame.
For your information, I have plenty of experience in the real world. As a matter of fact, I was a Network Engineer in the field with over 350 clients *prior* to teaching the MCSE courses. Because, as you should know if you really are a trainer, you cannot teach adequately if you don't also do in the real world.
For the last time, I never, ever said that my websites were good looking. My intent has never been to produce good looking websites. My sites are *content-based*, and that is why people come to them. When MCSEFreak.com gets half a million hits in a month, it's not because it's pretty. It's because it is shock-ful of quality, free content. And before you jump on your high horse, no I am not promoting myself, since I don't own MCSEFreak.com anymore and haven't for over a year.
As for the self-promotion issue, we've been over that many times. I did not scold anyone for self promotion. I inquired as to whether a person with a very low post count who linked to a website was indeed involved with that site. If you had half a mind, you would understand that the value of the link in that context is based on that information. When I link to *my* sites, it is very explicit that they are my sites. I do not hide it, never have, never will. So your questionning my integrity on this matter is once again out of line - and so are you, but that's nothing new.
You say that I insult you and that you don't insult me, but you start your message by calling me names, then tell the world I lack integrity, but I make it up with upmost hypocrisy. Who's the hypocrit and liar now?
I think you have made your case that you don't like me, and that's your right. Now it's time to move on. You say you have things to bring to this forum: I yet have to see that. Other than trying to troll and pick fights, you sure don't do much else.
Shape up. | |
| curiousgeorge 2004-07-01, 3:20 pm |
| Sacred-
I completely agree, and that has nothing to do with who hosts your site.
Sary's site is very impressive. If I needed someone to design a site for me, I would hire him with confidence.
Dave/Freak-
I like jabbing at you because you make yourself such an easy target. Then you get SO frustrated and fly off the handle in your responses.
I'll stop. | |
|
| as would I - hire him, that is.
But let me put this in a different light. Let's say someone comes to you and says that he wants to sell you web design services.
Are you more favorably impressed if his/her corporate website has its own domain name, or if it's hanging off of AOL or Geocities? Because in my book, that's an easy one to answer. Nothing screams "fly by night" louder than a so called corporate site on a free host... | |
| curiousgeorge 2004-07-01, 3:37 pm |
| I can agree with that, but this is only his resume.
I don't think anyone should expect your resume to have it's own domain name. | |
| Spides 2004-07-02, 3:49 am |
| Curiousgeorge I really can't see where your argument is coming from......I totally aggree with Freak...come on as was said if you do any web design etc you would surely make the effort to have our own domain name, it's not exactly expensive....and yes I wouldn't hire him because of the site hosting....what is more impressive to you, someone spouting out there name.com or babbling a load of forward slash . whatever / crap.......I wan't to hire someone who is serious about what they do, inside and outside of work.....would you accept a CV on cheap paper!!! Perhaps Curiousgeorge you are never impressed, or perhaps you have and never will hold a position that involves hiring and firing.......P.S. I prefered the avatar of the cheeky boy, that was so much better... | |
| Sary77 2004-07-27, 3:47 am |
| Thanks for all>
Please write your expectation salary for certifications value $ | |
| smrkdown 2004-07-29, 11:35 am |
| The site is horridly amateur including the hostname. Broken links, little uniformity, resume isn't in a proper form, bad color scheme, status bar messages are somewhat unprofessional, domain name is geocities, geocities adds...
Any bigger employer gets so many resumes that they look for any reason to dump yours in the trash. This website is that reason. | |

Freak,
He's just another a$$hole who doesn't even deserve a response....just another fly on the $hitpile from the dregs of society. It's already been proven he doesn't know what he's talking about most of the time. I think if people quit responding to the boy, he'll eventually just go away. | |
| Sary77 2004-07-31, 2:23 am |
| smrkdown hahahhahah tell me about your web-site or your resume ! | |
| smrkdown 2004-07-31, 9:15 am |
| Why? I'm not the one advertising for the world to see. | |
|
|
| curiousgeorge 2004-08-04, 5:17 pm |
| Sary,
A few things:
Every page I visit, I'm getting a Runtime Error
Line 1
Syntax Error
Also, all of the links should open up in a new window.
Other than that, it looks great. | |
| Sary77 2004-08-22, 9:08 am |

well, that was kind of my point with the non-pro host... | |

| Cool discussion-except for the personal nature.
Freak, I've known in the back of my mind that your secondary purpose for being here might be promoting websites.
However, you've shown a lot of care for us here. You've never pushed it in our faces. You've left us to discover the links on our own. I have no problems with the way you've conducted yourself here-very classy.
We ALL have something to sell-whether it be for cash or applause. | |
| freak 2004-08-23, 11:35 am |
| let me put it this way: I was here and helping and posting long before I had my own sites... but this debate for me is closed. At the end of the day, only Webmaster really has a say in this, and his say is that he is OK with it and encourages it in the FAQs of this site. Enough said.
| |
| curiousgeorge 2004-08-23, 12:49 pm |
| agreed
that discussion died a long time ago.
time to move on. | |

That's what I was trying to say.

In conclusion, it sounds weird because of the beating Lex has taken all over the place, but I feel more comfortable posting around him & Freak because they create great boundaries in their forums.
That was from a different thread I posted.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. What I meant was that Freak has really given his heart & soul, & if he happens to make a little money at giving that much, then more power to him. I have no fight with that. | |

| Thanks. Actually, that's how I took your original post |
