On HP's Drive to Hire Women Employees...

I received a mail from HP's hiring guys through a popular job site, couple of days back. It is a nice drive by HP to hire women employees. The recent trend I've seen amongst my women software professional friends is that there is a steady growth in their income range comparitively.
On a other note, the policies allowing telecommuting to work has been a welcome change too and more women with good software skills can now spend few hours to design and code other than the option of stay-at-home wife or mom (who quit day job for family needs or on visa rules), giving all the care the family and the work needs too.

The Mail read as follows:
