Having known people doing hiring it can mean you were not the specific fit they were looking for, but are still keeping you on the hook because that doesn't mean you wont be the best option in the time they have for the hire. Hell I Had an offer that took so long to get I had already interviewed, took an offer and started a job elsewhere during the wait. Hell, I had a rejection that took over a month to get. I ended up being overqualified for the position, but they were not willing to say no to the potential hire in case they couldn't find someone at the experience level they wanted. Hiring is painfully opaque and you really often have no idea what the hell is going on. While you might get a quick hire if you end up being a flawless fit, it can be really slow otherwise.

After the initial contact I didn't hear anything until she wanted to schedule an interview which was then pushed back because the team was too busy. I had great feedback and felt a good vibe during the interview, so we'll see. Not too many Jr. Sysadmin jobs around, they mentioned me being one of 8 candidates out of 1000.

I'm looking at relocating from Topeka to Bellevue / Omaha by the end of the summer and I really have no good ideas about who any of the employers are in that area. I'm currently working Hell Desk and making decent money and I'd like to match the pay (18/hr) while possibly doing something more than my current duties. Any suggestions on who to look at for potential employment in that area?

We've got budget for three new people and so far the people we've interviewed have been terrible. I don't have an official job posting yet but basically we're looking for linux system admins that have experience with jboss, mysql/sql server, netscaler/f5. Also just to note, you DO NOT need to know everything, as long as you're strong in at least one area we can work with the rest. We're called Airbiquity in downtown Seattle, PM or email me (arendon@airbiquity.com) if you're interested and I can forward your resume. I'll update with the actual job description as soon as I get it. ElCondemn fucked around with this message at 02:57 on Apr 24, 2012 |

Job Seeker My Experience: I have been in the IT field since 2000. Over the past decade or so I have gained experience with a wide variety of hardware and software. My strengths are in Windows Server/Active Directory administration and broadly, problem solving. I enjoy digging into difficult technical problems and figuring things out. I enjoy learning new things. I also have extensive TCP/IP networking experience, as well as Cisco experience (I was CCNA certified but it expired a while back). I have some exposure to Linux administration, primarily with Debian. Recently I have also picked up Powershell scripting. I also have basic DBA skills including SQL2005/2008. I also have specialized skills and several years of experience with IT as it relates to dentistry, including practice management and digital x-ray imaging. Education/Certifications: I do not have a degree, and this has never held me back. I have MCSE and MCSA certifications. What I'm looking for: Junior sysadmin, primarily Windows/AD. The range I'm looking for is $25/hour+ equivalent. Exposure to new things that I want to learn, such as SANs and virtualization. What I'm NOT looking for: Helldesk. I've done my time on the phone, and I am so through with it. Never again. Where I live: Metro Atlanta, GA. Where I'm looking: Within the Metro Atlanta area, but with a few exceptions due to the way traffic works around here. Telecommuting would also be fine if the job is not local. I am not in a position to relocate anywhere else at this time. When I can start: Offer date + 2 weeks Requirements: Permanent, full time, decent medical benefits, at least $25/hr equivalent, preferably non-exempt. Opportunities for learning and advancement are extremely important to me. They are completely lacking at my current job and that is why I'm looking. Can be reached via: PM

Huragok contacted me, and my friend has been getting along well with him. Thanks, SA! A friend of mine wants to do a start-up and needs a web developer. There's a couple thousand dollars in cash available right now, and there's company equity if you wanted to get excited and join the start-up instead of contracting. If you might be interested (or if you want to tell me that decent web-work is more expensive than that) send me some email at MniotSA@gmail.com or MniotSA on AIM.

We're moving and expanding our repair shop and will need one or two techs: We need: Someone with a good mix of customer service and technical skills. We'd like someone friendly and professional, that can also troubleshoot stuff like typical spyware cleanup, Windows corruption, Mac data recovery, laptop hardware replacement (keyboard, touchpad, motherboards, screens, etc). A+ certificate is a bonus but not required. We are: A small PC repair shop that's finally getting a decent location (moving from a relatively low key office to a storefront on a major road) Where we are: Newport/Middletown, RI How to apply: Either post here to let me know you're interested, or PM me We're a relatively new shop but there are really limited options in this area for PC repair, and with the local Best Buy closing we expect to get a pretty decent amount of business. We don't do any advertising and have survived strictly on word-of-mouth so far.

MJP posted:My company just had a vacancy and I can honestly say that despite a few shortcomings (no casual Fridays, health plan is meh at best but dental is done by reimbursement and costs way less than a regular dental plan, only the big six federal holidays off) it's a really amazing bunch of people to work with. We're a managed service provider in Manhattan, conveniently located almost equidistant between Port Authority and Penn Station. We have a vacancy to fill in the role above for one of my co-workers who is moving out of state! quote:a leading provider of managed IT services to SMB and enterprise businesses in the New York area, is seeking an experienced Level 2 Desktop Support Engineer to join our engineering team to serve our growing client base. This person will provide remote and onsite end user desktop support to a subset of our clients running Windows and Exchange environments. Details above are taken from a Monster posting, but I'll probably be able to kick your resume forward if you're a good match. I've placed three people here through referrals. Also posted in the Google Doc. This is a great role for someone who's done their time at desktop and/or help desk for a year or so and wants to be in a place that rewards getting your certs, gives you new challenges, and can deal with end users well. We can't have a Nick Burns but we don't use scripts to govern your every interaction with clients. It's a great place despite the dress code. If you know what you're doing and can fix something, usually all you need to do is notify the person in charge of the account and make sure they're kosher with it. I've gotten enough knowledge here to finish my 2k3 MCSA and get my MCITP: SA. The salary is decent for the work. There is no relocation budget but if you want to move to NY/NJ, I can point you in the right direction for decent areas in which to live and exist. I'm more than happy to answer questions or forward resumes. Contact info is above, or you can PM me.

Desktop Support...Engineer? I wasn't aware troubleshooting to success qualified as engineering. Let me guess - salary employment and expectations but hourly job duties? Sounds like HR doublespeak to get around overtime pay requirements for "non-exempt" employees if I have ever heard it. I can't wait until 5 years from now when these positions go to interns who work for free in exchange for the 'experience'.

Trying this again since I'm really getting demoralized. It seems like in the Tampa area, if you don't know .NET, Java, Oracle, or SAP, you're unemployable. Please prove me wrong! My Experience: 2-3 years of web and application development. I specialize in PHP, but am totally willing to sit down with a book for a week and learn whatever language(s) a company would want me to learn. I learn fast. I also have experience in developing mobile apps for the Android platform and with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and DB2 database systems on the back end. Outside of development, I have also done some CJ-ing and can manage IIS and LAMP servers. All thrown in with some Linux scripting. Education/Certifications: Bachelor's in Information Technology. What I'm looking for: Web, software, application development. What I'm NOT looking for: Network administration, Hell desk, CJ-ing, QA or testing type jobs Where I live: Tampa Bay area Where I'm looking: Tampa Bay / Clearwater When I can start: I can start in two weeks after accepting the offer to give my current employer a heads up. Requirements: Permanent, full time employment. Health, dental, vision insurance. 401k. I'm a new dad, so I can't do much travel or real overtime/on-call. Can be reached via: e-mail me at jmgolz AT GMAIL DOT COM No, seriously, hire me! I'm getting frustrated seeing all these developer jobs that I don't currently have the required skills for. I know I could pick up whatever the company wants in no time flat. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing any ads for developers that don't know the skills but are willing to learn.
