My experience: Working on a BS in Computer Science, in process of getting basic certifications. Best with C++, Java, and Windows. Some experience with C and Linux. I'm conversational in German and have wired buildings before, if either of those is a plus.
What I'm looking for: Entry level IT or programming work. I'll do helpdesk, I'll run wires, I'll carry heavy crap, I'm not picky.
What I'm NOT looking for: Sales. Not a snobby thing, I'm just terrible at it.
Where I live: Fort Collins, CO
Where I'm looking: Mostly Colorado and the PNW, willing to consider moving almost anywhere. I can finish school online if I need to.
When I can start: Immediately for local, otherwise it depends on the location.
Requirements: Full time if not local

What I'm looking for: Stable work. Help desk, NOC, another field service job, I'm open to almost anything I'm qualified for
What I'm NOT looking for: Sales
Where I live: Fort Collins, CO
Where I'm looking: Northern Colorado. Looking as far south as Boulder, as far east as Greeley. For the right job, I would look at Denver, but it would have to be one hell of a job.
When I can start: I'll give two weeks notice to my current employer after accepting an offer.
Requirements: Full time or just under full time.

The MSP I work for is hiring a computer janitor

Where: Denver metro area
What: Primarily on-site tech making service calls as necessary, working from home otherwise. Standard T1-T2 work with no script and an absolute requirement for ability to follow agreed upon procedures and interact excellently with customers
Pay: No idea

PM me for details or post here if you don't have them

Is this still open? I'm considering looking for greener pastures that don't involve 12-day weeks.

What I'm looking for: Helpdesk, computer janitor, etc.

When I can start: After 2 weeks notice for close to home, maybe a month to find an apartment for farther away.

It shows you're putting effort into the application. At worst, they won't read it.

At least, that's my take on it. Most places I have applied have asked for one.

HIRING

Company

Development company (building, not software). Contact me for more details, explaining more would make it too easy to doxx me. It's not a hip ~*disruptive*~ environment, but it's cheerful, sunny, you'll have a great view of the Flatirons all day, and we have a latte machine.

Location

Denver (specifically Broomfield).

Job

ERP support, maybe some backend SQL. My manager will decide how much of the backend work will be given to you on a case by case basis. The primary aspect will be supporting our ERP system (Think MS Dynamics / Oracle). Since I don't know you and can't vouch for your work, it will be C2H (health insurance available).

If you become permanent, the benefits are fantastic. Amazing health coverage, PPO or HDHP with an HSA contribution on the HDHP. Dental and vision, 6% 401(k) match, 4 weeks PTO, 10 holidays, either a company phone or a phone stipend, and a partial reimbursement on purchase of a new phone if you use it for work. $3000 reimbursement on the purchase of a green car. Free RTD pass, $20 monthly gym/fitness reimbursement, plus an on-site gym. I know I'm forgetting other stuff. It's really great.

I can't guarantee a permanent position, but dear lord do we need someone doing this permanently. I would be very surprised if it didn't end up being permanent.

Experience

Some basic experience with SQL (Joins, mostly). Basic experience supporting an ERP system. You probably won't have experience with this particular one, so they expect you to need to learn. I knew next to nothing coming in and have done great, but my manager may be more strict this time. We had someone for two weeks that really didn't work out, and we want to avoid the trouble of that again.

Contact
Preferably PM me. If you don't have PMs, send an email to EargesplittenSA@yahoo.com and let me know here. I never check that email.

Does Japan give their salaries in pre-tax or post-tax numbers? I assume that also includes evil socialist healthcare already paid for? Those two factors would make a huge difference. I also have no idea what the COL is like in Ibaraki prefecture.

senior "cloud administrator" was $150k five years ago

anybody that can put together a hello world in terraform these days is making $120 as an absolute junior

most senior devops/cloud administrator won't get out of bed for less than 200 these days

this guy makes sure your company can make revenue day to day

I can't land anything remote making even 100k, is it because my only Terraform experience is outside of work? Because before my more recent job my primary experience was in Oracle's cloud rather than something anyone uses?

Experience: ~2 years of Linux administration, light AWS administration (I'm very rusty), a couple years of software support, NOC support, helpdesk, total experience 9 years. I've done Windows administration but it has been long enough that I'm rusty on it. I've done minor bash scripting.

Where I'm located: Colorado

Requirements: Full remote, I can travel to site once or twice a year if required

How the poo poo are YOU not getting phone screens with a masters and experience?

That’s wild to me.

I don't have a masters, but I do have 9 years of experience, and I haven't even gotten a phone screen from hundreds of applications this year. I've even started applying for normal tech support stuff just to have *something*, and nothing. It's so loving bad right now.
