Well, when we look at interns or junior guys, we don't expect a big shipped product. Hell, you'd be surprised how many senior engineers have never actually been with a project from start to ship (most of them). What you need to show off is your interest in programming. Put the projects you HAVE done in a nice portfolio and show them off.

Everyone starts somewhere, and walking in as a kid will have people expecting very little. You only stand to impress with some actual tangible projects.

Your dumb is leaking.
Unfortunately, this position has been dropped. I'll update if it opens up again.

My boss and I are currently looking for someone with some formal test, network, and wireless experience.

What we're looking for: A test/QA engineer who will step up and own tasks given to him/her, with experience in core networking (LAN/WAN, WiFi b/g/n) and some understanding of 3G wireless technologies (CDMA 1x/EVDO, GSM/UMTS GPRS/EDGE/HSPA). Previous experience working with embedded devices that run Linux is very helpful. Some basic programming skills (Perl/C/C++) are also helpful. This position will be responsible for generating and executing system and functional software tests on our products and should have experience writing test plans, executing tests, tracking bugs, managing software builds and releases, and going to lunch at 11AM before the crowds show up.

Concerning the test writing and development, there is very little in the way of requirements and other documentation (though I'm working on that) so a keen understanding of how networks operate and how the technologies we use as a system work together will be key. And, for poops and giggles, once the tests are written, we'd like to automate them. Any skills you have in systems engineering, mechanical or electrical design, and/or successfully cracking wise will give you an edge.

What we're not looking for: People who lack a basic understanding of all the systems and technologies mentioned above. People who don't communicate well. People who don't play well with others. People who have problems working for a fat guy (me). People who have problems working without close supervision and constant direction.

Location: Sunny San Diego, California

Approximate opening date: Last week would be awesome. (Read: immediately.)

Benefits: Health, Dental, Aflac (if you're nice they'll give you a stuffed duck), 401k, basic life insurance

Notes: We're a pretty small organization that has been around about five years. This position may (or may not) report to me, but will certainly report to my boss if nothing else. A word of caution: we regularly are involved in firedrill tasks, meaning that things were not planned out and we have to make up for it. It is frustrating sometimes but we solider on. YMMV.

Contact: PM me or send e-mail to mackieman@gmail.com with your resume and why you think you piss excellence.

What I'm looking for: Hardware engineering design, or a web-services company (Google, Yahoo, startup) willing to consider a hardware engineer
Where I live: North San Jose, CA
Where I'm looking: San Francisco, or failing that anywhere in the SF bay area.
When I can start: ~2-3 weeks after signing on the dotted line.
Requirements: Exciting enough to pull me away from my current employer (semiconductor IC manufacturer).

You might have better luck on the OCAU forums (forums.overclockers.com.au) or Wirlpool (forums.whirlpool.net.au). Realistically though, Seek seems to be the most used job listing site in Australia, so you'd probably be well off to give it a go along side your forum searching.

EDIT: JOB TAKING OFF THE SITE, THEY ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS

I'm a CJ and another tech at the local Sheriffs office quit full time but he's still on part time. The last guy did not understand what "name of the server" meant, but he knew how to use Access. The database that you'll help support is on Windows ME or 98 or some stupid OS because something was written in VisualBasic and can't be easily ported over to something worthwhile. You won't have to work near me, you would be about one mile away so you won't be able to smell me. You'll get to see us every other Tuesday though.

Who they are: Williamson County Sheriffs Office in Tennessee
Where: Franklin, TN
Title: Juvenile Services System Technician
Description: The Williamson County Government Juvenile Services Department is accepting applications for a Computer Systems Technician. This position will support the information technology system for the offices of the Williamson County Juvenile Services Department. Must have programing experience with Microsoft Access database as well as experience with Windows XP operating systems and Novell client/server software. Must be able to respond after hours for critical system problems for those offices that are open 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

If you wish to get into the exciting world of computer janitoring you can apply here:
They are no longer accepting applications

As far as I know you won't be supporting their network.

If they offer the same benefits as the rest of the county you get full health insurance and some other goodies. Full time employees have 5% taken from each pay check to pay into TCRS which is a retirement fund for Tennessee government workers.

Edit: I should not have put who "we" are, changed it to who "they" are. I am a tech for the general county, the job is for the Sheriffs Office which is funded by the county.

Edit 2: More information on that database, it's one of those databases that people think are far more important than it really is. There's nothing super complicated with it according to the director of IT.

Job Title: Ruby on Rails developer
Location: Seattle, WA
Listing: http://www.zondervan.com/Cultures/en-US/Company/Jobs/Developer%2B(Seattle).htm
Benefits: Health, Dental, 401k, basic life insurance, >= 3 weeks paid leave a year
Product: http://www.onthecity.org

What we're looking for: A third core Rails developer to round out our team. Someone who can own a feature or problem and run with it, rather than needing a lot of babysitting. Experienced web programmers familiar with MVC frameworks. Professional Rails experience preferred but NOT a requirement. If you've done something more than a "hello, world" and want to be thrown head-first into a professional Rails project, we want to talk to you.

What we're not looking for: People who hate church, Agile development practices, or macs.

Notes: Offered pay tends toward the high end of the listing scale, as due to the nature of the product and the immaturity of the Rails career ecosystem, a well-matched candidate is hard to find. If this sounds like a fit for you, it probably is, and we're going to do our best to make sure you're compensated accordingly. We are willing to relocate you as well. Also, we won't make you work 8-5 and you can work flex time, but don't tell HR. :ssh:

Also, it's not the Fox-news watching, James Dobson-spouting, moralist-scolding right wing atmosphere you might fear from a Bible publishing company. We don't filter your internet, we won't fire you for cussing, and Friday is beer day. We expect professionalism, not monoculture.

5 years clerical work in libraries. Recently, about two years of misc. under the table tech support stuff, working in generally horrible networking conditions with no budget or sympathy from the management. Read: 20 host network without a server and in some cases no commercial anti virus. They "discovered" I was good with computers and set me about "solving" their tech issues. I still don't want my fingerprints on their train wreck. They didn't increase my pay, and their constant praise and rear end kissing isn't making up for that anymore. I'm not being arrogant, I'm just tired of going to these committee meetings where I try to explain why $1000/year just won't cut it for the tech budget to a bunch of 50 year old women.

Do any of you use LinkedIn? I have a profile on there but I really don't "get" the site... it looks like it has the potential to be a really powerful networking tool, but it doesn't seem very well organized and I always get frustrated when I'm on it.

"Your profile is 55% complete you lazy bum"

Any tips? Are the job searches directly linked to your connections, meaning the more connections I make, the better search results I get? I really don't get it. Anyway, if anybody wants my profile send me an email or PM. I talk a lot of poo poo about my employer here so it's probably in my best interest to not publicly post who it is. :tinfoil:

I don't know too much about it, but afaik the searches aren't related to your connections. It's more that having more connections and recommendations from other people makes the people posting the jobs more likely to look at your application.

That's why you'll see stuff like this:


It's supposed to be a more automated networking tool, so you can get connected with employers based on connections through people you know and what they say about you without having to have them formally introduce you.

It seems pretty nice, but the caveat is that you need to know a bunch of people (or at least one I guess) who are also on LinkedIn and are willing to update their page and give you recommendations so you seem legit and not like some crazy person on the internet.
