    SDA Union

    Do you know when we get the memberships for 07/08 (and hence the vouchers)? I don't think it's worth it to remain part of SDA... I don't value my job that much.

    Etiquette on looking for new jobs?

    So I've read some of the advice in this subforum for people getting new jobs, and most people say, don't quit the old one until you've secured the new one. Now I agree with that because it's logical, but what about when you apply for the new one? In your work history, you put your current job...

    Subjects with an odd number of units
