Heh. He said that about 2 years ago they were hiring junior C# people, 
and they would have totally hired me. But right now they're looking for 
somebody experienced to show them the right direction.

OTOH, he also said he doesn't like to discount people just because of a 
lack of commercial experience.

Basically it seems every job I go to, nobody is worried about whether I 
have the technical skill, but they all assume I can't write production 
code or that I can't work as part of a team. The only way I can prove to 
the contrary is if I can get my foot in the door and start writing 
production code as part of a team somewhere.

In summary, it looks like I need to find somebody to be the first to 
take a chance on me and let me show what I can actually do. Perhaps this 
company will be the one. I guess next week I find out...
