The Iron Rose posted:It's also just a pretty good idea. Defaulting to B/W but allowing users to override that if they go into the settings saves us a not-insignificant amount in printer supplies. That's how I was taught whenever I first learned how to do basic admin stuff. I mean as far as I'm concerned it should be universal SOP.

The Iron Rose posted:This is suuuuuuuuuuper basic. You don't even need a windows server environment, you can set that to default even if you're just using TCP/IP printing. If you have a print server than that just makes the configuration easier. It's about two button clicks in the printer properties gui In the past I've deployed two queues for the same printer - one limited to B&W and one colour, with mono set as the default. Saves people going into the settings to enable colour.

Also makes it painfully clear if the user is printing black and white or in color to eliminate mistakes of "Oh oops I meant to print that 100 page document in color, now I have a copy in black and white that's going right in the trash". It's the best option by far.

A page has a single red letter on it, therefore the whole print job is counted as a "color job".

If you are using a Windows print server, sometimes setting the defaults in Printer Preferences isn't enough. You will need to set them also in Printer Properties - Advanced - Printing Defaults. That is usually the profile that gets pushed down to the client PCs.

I learned this the hard way with a zebra printer that kept getting reset to defaults by a combination of bidirectional communication being turned on and the printing defaults not being configured correctly.

Lock down your printer permissions for Print only, remove print management from all users. Don't trust them with changing anything.

Most vendors give you that link/number for your resume/cv to reference when needed. If a candidate can't produce that info, they most likely are lying. Especially when you ask them about simple things like vlans and broadcast domains and they sound like they are googling answers (they were)

My guess is everyone is acting on good faith and didn't connect the dots that when people lying/embellish on their resume that will include certifications. It's one step further than brain dumps in that regard.

I can see faking a CCNA... maybe... on a resume, but the CCIE means you are the top of the heap on Cisco poo poo so faking that on a resume and then tanking the ensuing networking questions means you are an idiot.

I've had 2 jobs come across today and yesterday my first thought was "Oh poo poo this looks good" then I read on: travel required 50-75% of the month. gently caress, if this was 5-7 years ago I'd do that in a heart beat, I don't mind flying, but god drat I can't be away from my fiancee and puppy for that long  One day I will find a job that does not drive me to madness.

Recruiter thinks an offer is coming but its going to be contract to hire. God loving dammit employers are loving garbage. I'll probably take it and keep looking. You cant commit to me, I'm keeping my options open.

These are by no means senior level positions, 2+ years experience required so when an expert level applicant comes along we pay extra attention. So far my impression is that we act on a good faith basis which means we have some ugly interviews but I prefer that to the adversarial and distrustful stuff like drug tests, references, background checks and salary histories.

Washington State is in the process of banning the salary history question, and if you're asked that, it should be a red flag.

Holy crap. I have that I have, like, 9 months experience with JAMF/Casper on my resume, LinkedIn, etc., and I've got recruiters blowing up my inbox and phone for a "Macintosh Endpoint Technical Services Delivery Lead" Requirements include managing and leading a team, business acumen, political savvy, patch management, and 5+ years of JAMF and Mac OS deployment, among other things. Do these idiots even read resumes beyond key words? I've got no management or team lead skills, no project management skills or experience, no patch management experience, and basically only the aforementioned 9 months of JAMF experience. I do have a little Mac image building experience, but not in large environments. Better still, several of them let slip that the (1 year contract to possible perm) job is with Unisys, which if I'm reading my corporate-speak properly, is an MSP, which reduces my interest to negative levels even if I was remotely qualified... Why can't I get this kind of attention for something I *am* qualified for?

I got hired because I was going to grad school and told the hiring manager I wanted to be an IT Project Manager. Just apply for the position if it pays well and related to what you want to do.

 Got an offer today for a new company. 25% pay bump, better benefits and perks, and a better title. Nervous as hell because I’ve been at the same place for over a decade. I guess the new company has been dumping money in to IT trying to catch up after years of having outsourced things and having a shoe string budget. I’m excited to be headed somewhere growing instead of working somewhere that keep slashing budgets and complaining that too many SLAs are being met by too wide of a margin. They also took the SLA bonuses away from the call center employees because they were making them too often.

If I had current Casper/JAMF experience beyond using it to mange the wallpaper on my iPad, I'd be making loving bank right now. Best interview I ever had, thumbs up on their way out from the two peer interviewers, good click with the hiring manager and CEO... and they went with the person who was the JAMF administrator at their current person. I understand, I'd have made the same call. HR was downright apologetic when they let me know I wasn't The One. That was fantastic interview experience. I know how well I can do now, so that success is reproducible.
