I was interviewing a candidate a few years ago for a machinist position, and he had a nice portfolio of past projects he had worked on. The bound folder had drawings (title block blacked out for company privacy) and code examples. It really gave me an idea of what kind of work he was comfortable with, as well as his programming style. Any time you can show a potential employer your code and the drawings of parts you have machined in the past, you will make an impression. So get working on your portfolio of past work and good luck at your next interview !

I use CIMCO V5.0 for some editing and it is nice and very taylored to CNC programming. But…
For you who like to tinker and have something different ( and free !!! ) Check out NotePad++
I use it for HTML / CSS as well as G-Code. You can customize to your hearts content, and the file search ability allows you to search quickly through files for specific text. Handy when you are trying to track down a program by searching for a part number in the comment section of the program.
