Re: So what does it take to get a Job around here?

The TriJUG jobs board application was developed by our spinoff learning group -- the Triangle Java Learning Group (TriJLG) -- with similar motivation a number of years ago.  It is an open-source application hosted on Sourceforge, coded with JSPs and JDBC and is probably ready to be recoded in a more modern environment.  JSF and JPA would be a good fit since they both can be run on a least-common-denominator server; that is, they don't reqire a full J2EE app server to run and will fit within the "maximum ease of deployment" design goal of the Jugjobs app.  Converting a JSP app to run with JSFs and from JDBC to JPS would let you put all four technologies on your resume.
 
If the new group (which is welcome to the TriJLG name, by the way) is interested I would be glad to work with you on the rewrite.  As it happens, I could do with a bit more exposure to JSF and JPS myself.

Why not contribute to an open source project, or two? There's already a community to learn from.

J2EE 6 including JSF, JPA  and JBoss Seam will defintely helps.  JSP and EJB are too old.

Well, Java ... naturally.
Then, you'll want J2EE, Servlets and JSP.
And then, something like Struts.
Eclipse should do for an IDE.

Too basic?
Let's add EJB.
How about some JMS?
Is that enough for the basic Java Software Developer opportunity?

So, do it!

I bet that if you put in a 60 hour week, you could learn enough to get through most technical interviews.
Then, you would need to come up with a project that you can put on our resume.

Let's have some fun and do it together.
Please respond if ...
 - you would be interested in a Study Group where we would
      - configure our laptops to support these frameworks and
      - learn how to use these frameworks.

 - you have some dusty text books that you would be willing to loan towards this venture.
 - you are interested in practicing your training skills and are willing to teach what you know.
 - you have a project that you need to get done cheaply (i.e., > free).
 - you have a laptop that hasn't recently spun its disk and you would be willing to loan.
 - you have access to a venue with access to the Internet where a study group could meet.

We could even do this with some lean agility.
