Getting a job with few references?
patio11: I would start thinking in terms of how I could make a blog, OSS project, or publicly visible code which would make a case for "Why You Should Hire Me" so strongly that you wouldn't bother contacting my references.We're in an industry which needs to administer FizzBuzz in interviews.  How hard do you think it will be to make something that will conclusively demonstrate you are better than the next ten people who they'll have to ask to FizzBuzz?
