[MCFA Int] Re: EMDS: career opportunities with leading companies

---- The International MCFA E-Mail List Server ----

Hi Oliver,

I find this first contact with the representative of EMDS a good first
step. And I vote (with two hands) for the project of establishing a
co-operation between recruiting companies and the MCFA. Especially if the
representative of EMDS is not closed to the idea ... 

I however have a question concerning EMDS. From a previous contact I had
with with them two years ago, and I got the impression they are mainly
interested in management, marketting and business; not that much in more
technical or hard sciences such as biology, chemistry or physics. Do you
have a different opinion ?

Greetings from Finland (where we have a terrific sun today!).
Frank
