OT: looking for a job

[Maayan Eshed]

Hi Didi and Micha
Your reply is kind and valid. And you made RedHat sound like a good
workplace. I remember them fondly so I don't mind (:

I guess I asked about LinkedIn not just to make sure its not a PR/HR waste
of time nowadays, but also because of an inherent dislike for social
networks.
If non of the offers this list has suggested will work out, I'll reopen the
account there with less reluctance.

Cordial thank you all who has already sent offers.
I'm going through them and considering and slowly replying.

You are all much appreciated, it makes it actually nice to be back (:

Ma'ayan
