NEW RO TV INTERVIEW:  JUNE 18, 2001
Spotlight on SIGPRO and the job search in Ottawa

Interviewer:  
As you know, it has been a very tough six months so far.  We've had     
over 10, 000 layoffs in local companies.  But, at the same time we 
added one thousand jobs mostly with smaller start-ups and they actually 
plan to add another 1000 before year-end.
Laid-off from a Web Development Company and with no engineering 
degree to speak of, Melissa Bulmer knew she faced an uphill battle.  

Melissa:  
You just have to put the package together.

Interviewer:  
How did you find the opportunity? How did it come to you?

Melissa:  
How I'm doing?  You've got to get your resume and make sure that it 
goes to the right spot.

Interviewer:  
After two months, she landed on her feet with SIGPRO Wireless.

Melissa:  
There's a good market out there. You just have to look for it.

Interviewer:  
We've all gotten used to seeing headlines like this one...a lot of doom 
and gloom "Nortel cuts 10,000 jobs".  But inside, in allot of these same 
publications, you'll find ads like this one: "SIGPRO Wireless. Job 
openings in all areas, growing steadily" and they include jobs beyond
just engineering positions. They are also hiring people in marketing 
and business development.

Dr. Murthy: 
We are focused on technology development and are now expanding into 
Marketing, business development, and sales.  That's why we are able to 
hire people in those areas as well.

Melissa:  
Research is key.  Don't send your resume anywhere. Make sure that you
send it to a profitable place going places.
