X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 One thing I've noticed, is that a lot of companies who are listing Network engineer positions, consider them to be Windows admin jobs, with very little switching and routing experience required. Shouldn't these be listed as Sys Admin positions? It's rather annoying when you come up with a list of jobs, and 90% of them are strictly doing windows admin stuff. I left my job at MarketWatch last week, and now I'm currently looking. Drop me an email if you know of anything, I'll provide a resume upon request. Preferably somewhere that uses linux, or any other kind of Unix. :) Jay _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list@mn-linux.org https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list ----- End forwarded message ----- -- --*--SpencerUnderground--*-- http://autonomous.tv/ spencer@autonomous.tv Key fingerprint = 173B 8760 E59F DBF8 6FD2 68F8 ABA2 AB08 49C7 4754 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I've assumed non-technical people wrote those ads. They probably consider what we call a "server" to be a file-sharing box on the network. [Insert favorite jab at a Windows Admin who might have written that ad] > Shouldn't these be listed as Sys Admin positions? Yes, although they should also mention the type of system. Too many ads require reading between the lines to figure out just what is wanted and for what environment. Not that this discussion matters. Few HR, Windows Admins, and non-technical administrators are reading TCLUG items. That type of mistake also creates an ad for a "plumber" when the job is actually for a pipefitter on industrial equipment. We only notice those who made such a mistake for our individual specialties, and don't know just how the "good" ads were created. We can hope that those which we don't even recognize will be rewritten quickly. There have been some which were bad enough that I pointed out the problems -- particularly those where the need was quite urgent and they needed to get results quickly.

I currently have a company interested in migrating, but unwilling to unless a list of people can be found/generated to cover their "support paranoia". I am hoping to find a number of individuals willing to drive to this company's site within 4-24 hours of the occurance of a problem. I don't forsee this to be a frequent occurance, so the commitment factor should be very light. The arrangement would be very casual - individuals can bill however they see fit to cover driving costs, inconvenience, etc... as long as it meets with the business's approval before-hand. Skill set should involve general fluency with installation and configuration of Linux, MySQL, Apache, and networking. I am not associated with any consulting firms or head hunters - I am a software developer with a full-time job and trying to do Linux development on the side. If this works out, it may lead to other such opportunities, as well - either with projects that I may be able to initiate in the future, or possibly with my brother, who is doing something similar. Please email or call me if interested: Matt Samudio 507-383-1521 roadki11@charter.net (note that roadki11 ends with two "one"'s, not two "ell"'s)
