Referring to that previous recruiting e-mail, can anyone out there
enlighten me as to why they would require you to have previous healthcare
experience?  I mean, here I sit with a PhD, I know more about security and
privacy than probably anyone in the healthcare field, and could do a great
job as a sys. admin., software engineer, or whatever else they could
possibly need, and yet I won't even get a look because of "no previous
healthcare experience."  Whatever.

The thing I'm really tired of is HR people who know nothing about IT
and disqualify you because you don't how to use <fill in the blank>
software package, as if it would be difficult for anyone with a decent
background to figure out in about ten minutes.
