Journal Journal: Job Board, October 3, 2003 6
As of this moment, flipdog appears to be unavailable.
The front page article "How You Were Fired" brought in several new fans. Welcome, and thanks to SiliconJesus for the mention in the comments to that article. I missed the front page story, having had a couple interviews (and spending a lot of time brushing up my skills in some specific areas).
There is one new listing in Employees Wanted this time around, the our first overseas listing for this category. Thanks to jawtheshark.
Positions Wanted. The following individuals are seeking employment. Each listing contains a link to a comment that mentioned the individual's availability, as well as a link to their user page. Please contact these people directly, by e-mail (if they provide a contact address) or by replying to the comment.
- RevMike has experience with enterprise financial systems, using Java, J2EE, PL/SQL, Pro*C, Perl, and XML. He is located in the New York City/Long Island area.
- johndiii is a C++ developer with 14+ years of Windows development experience. He is located in the Dallas area.
- intermodal is also looking for work in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. He does tech/administrator work for unix, linux, and all versions of windows. He also has Software QA experience. He would also be interested in any fire department that is willing to provide training; he already has experience in that area, being currently with a volunteer department.
- buffer-overflowed has a variety of experience, including C++ development, Unix and network administration, and help desk, on-site, and desktop support. He is currently located in Charleston, WV, but may be open to relocation.
- heliocentric is an experienced admin and IT support person in the Harrisburg area. He is particularly interested in working in the information security area, where he has had some past experience. He would also be interested in a position in the Reading area.
- dubiousdave is an experienced Solaris, Tru64, and Linux admin, living in Austin, Texas. His work experience is primarily on Sun hardware, ranging from ancient workstations to E220s to E6800s. He knows both SunCluster and TruCluster, and, most importantly, makes good coffee.
- aridhol is a programmer with three years experience in C, C++, and Java, located in Winnipeg. He is a Sun-certified Java programmer with a CS degree from Camosun College in Victoria, BC.
- Jellybob is looking for a junior sysadmin position in southern England. He has had five years of experience supporting Windows boxes, and three years supporting Linux on both servers and desktops. He also has four years of PHP/MySQL development for web applications and community-based websites, and has a working knowledge of Python. He is willing to learn anything else required.
- Judg3 is a Windows jack of all trades, specializing in enterprise system and application management and deep level troubleshooting. His strength is taking an assignment and bringing it in on-time and under-budget. He's also at the power-user level with FreeBSD and Linux. There's more detail in the referenced comment, I'd strongly sugest giving it a read. He's looking in the Milwaukee area, land of beer and sausages (mmmmmm, Usinger's), and home of former car salesman Bud Selig.
Employees Wanted. Pretty much the same format. When submitting for this section, please include a link any on-line job listing that is available.
- SiliconJesus mentioned two positions in his department at Digex. Digex is hiring for other positions as well; the job listings are here.
- Servo posted an available position in his journal last month. The position is still available, and it sounds like they could really use some help. Here is a direct link to the job listings page; the specific job is Tier II (Site Supervisor) for New York City.
- FortKnox needs experienced J2EE coders, experienced project management, or experienced business analysts. The experience is an absolute requirement. These are located in the Cincinnati area.
- According to blinder, his employer, The Seva Group, has an opening for a J2EE developer, with 3+ years of experience including Websphere. The job is at a client site in the Baltimore area. If you are interested, reply to this post or e-mail JobCenter (I can forward the mail to him). Since he just got an unexpected raise, this might be a company worth looking into. Too bad they're not in Dallas.
- jawtheshark works for Fujitsu Consulting in Luxembourg. Fujitsu has several positions available, including experienced Documentum (enterprise content management) experts, data architects, and entry level IT work. E-mail CVs to slashdot(at)jawtheshark.com; he will direct them to the proper destination. There are positions open in both Belgium and Luxembourg. JTS recommends Luxembourg, for certain financial reasons. I've been reading his journal for a few months now, and I have to say that it sounds like a nice place to live.
The boilerplate:
Thanks to everyone for supporting this effort. If you have an issue with your listing, let me know ASAP (e-mail or IM might be best). If you have a position, are seeking a job, or have comments about the format, please post a reply to this JE. Suggestions are always welcome, by e-mail or by comment. I aim to have every opening or job need mentioned in a JE within 24 hours of my becoming aware of it. Subsequent JEs will repeat entries from prior job boards that are still open. If you have an item listed, please let me know ASAP when it is no longer current. I would love to be able to post a success story or two here!
Update: jawtheshark's entry corrected; the position is not documentation, but "Documentum", an enterprise content management system.
