I know that people post job openings on here from time to time, but they are pretty rare and not always in your part of the world. Wouldn't it be nice if you could just say "Hey, I'm looking for a job in Dallas, anybody have any leads?" and have the jobs come to you, instead? I agree! So yeah, that's pretty much the gist of this thread. Call it Goon Networking, I don't know. It's no substitute for the old fashioned job search sites, but since it seems so many jobs are more about who you know, it can't hurt to just ask and see if anybody has any contacts you can use! Right?  Current Openings For up-to-date listings, [edit by Internet Explorer: check the thread. The spreadsheet had a bunch of racist poo poo in it. This is why we can't have nice things.] Edit: I've removed the old previous listings, which haven't been touched in probably a year or more. Stick with the goon-maintained spreadsheet or the newer posts in the thread for updates. Somebody fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Oct 7, 2020 |

To try to make it easier to find openings in a sea of requests, I'm going to try to keep the first post updated with any currently posted positions. Should the positions be filled, let me know and I'll edit out the link.

I'll also consider you if you've got experience with Windows Server but have not worked in the hosting industry - but you'll need to prove a firm grasp of server administration. You will use very little LDAP/AD skills here. Post updated, thanks!

feld posted:They also use that performance based salary deal where you can ask for $100K, get paid $80K if you're under performance, get $100K if you meet your goals, and get $120K if you exceed it by a certain amount.  Honestly, I'm a little surprised (but completely happy!) that we're starting to get more job postings than requests, considering how few and far between job posting threads have been in the past. This is great! Again, please let me know if you find out if any of these positions have been filled so I can remove them from the first post.

I've made some tweaking to the OP, sorting the job postings by general location, putting the more popular sections at the top (there are a lot of openings in New York!) I may move it around some more, I'm not sure, but this should be a little bit easier to find something at a glance.

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.

Rapportus posted:Welp I got my job at Trion thanks to SA, and so should you! (In fact, you'd be working with many goons!) We're a fresh game publisher start-up with over $100 million in funding. (You may have seen us at E3 this year with our first game, Heroes of Telara, which garnered many "Best Surprise of E3 2009" awards.) This job opportunity is kick-rear end. Every day is an intellectual challenge because you'll be working with some of the most experienced veterans from the gaming industry. (Even if you don't think you qualify, I'd suggest applying because we're looking for talent that can be molded into this role.)

I started to sit down and do some real job searching again last night, without too much success, but I only just started. I did, however, come across an interesting listing on dice. The company name was withheld, but claimed to be a Fortune 50 company (that's a 5-0) in the same city I'm currently residing in (outside Dallas). They want 30 people for support technicians, sr support technicians, and team leads, paying between $15-30/hr depending on position and experience. That could be a pretty decent raise over what I'm making right now, and I totally meet every single qualification they're looking for. Unfortunately, the listing was posted about a month ago, and the start date listed was a couple weeks back, so I don't know if I have a shot. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Just a reminder to those of you posting jobs, if the job gets filled, please let me know so I can take it off the front page. I just went through and did a little bit of cleanup. It looks like I've also got a couple of bad links that I'll have to try to track down when I have more time (specifically the Michican/Jolva job and the Misc/Pr0k one). Is it possible to use the "find posts in this thread by this user" feature with a username instead of the user id? I tried http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3075135&username=Jolva, but that just takes me to the beginning of the thread.

I was browsing hotjobs yesterday and came across an add for lanwanprofessional.com, which promises to pay to get me CCIE certified so I make lots and lots of money. Seemed too good to be true, so I looked them up... sure enough, lots and lots of complaints. As near as I can tell from the comments, they do put you through a training course, but the bulk of the complaints are that the training is completely insufficient, and oh, they're not even Cisco partners. That's what I get for getting a glimmer of hope that I found something promising.

My brother-in-law was laid off on the 15th and now has 2 companies giving him competing offers. I've been trying to get a new job for 2 years and I've only ever gotten a single interview. My self-esteem is pretty low at the moment. Granted, his field and mine are not the same, and I really am happy for him, but gently caress, that hurts. I haven't gotten so much as a "we've received your resume and are reviewing it" since I moved to Texas and he gets multiple job offers within 7 days? Sorry for the E/N, I'm just frustrated. Does anybody know if those "premium" services offered by most job search sites actually do any good, or if it's all just a scam? The more job searching sucks the life out of me, the more $60 for 3 months of "increased relevance" (whatever the gently caress that means) starts to sound appealing...

Can anybody with experience dealing with recruiters explain to me what to expect and/or watch out for? Somebody from TAC Worldwide contacted me earlier this week about a job posting, and after speaking with the lady on the phone I've found that this is potentially a phenomenal opportunity. The company the position is with is very well respected in the area and has amazing benefits*, and based on the description of the job it doesn't feel like one where I would be getting in too far over my head like most of the others I've been applying for anyway. My biggest questions right now (which I haven't had a chance to ask yet) are, how does contract to hire typically work? If I work there for the 3 months and don't gently caress up, they hire me on full time? How do benefits work during this 3 month period? Are there none? Here's what's happened so far: Day 1: Recruiter emails me vague job info, asks for an updated copy of my resume and a few sentences explaining why I would be a good fit. I reply same day. Day 2: Recruiter calls me, gives me the name of the company the position is with, goes back over the requirements, asks again about my experience, seems generally happy, asks me to confirm my contact info to pass on to the company. I'm guessing the next step is the company reviewing my resume and then hopefully calling me, but I'm not sure, since I've never dealt with recruiters before. I also don't know how long this process typically takes, and waiting for a phone call that may never come is nerve wracking. Should I followup with the recruiter after a period of time if I don't hear anything, or just sit tight and wait?

traveling midget posted:Typically, contract to hire is a 3-month 'try before you buy' where you get paid hourly rather than salary, and usually don't get benefits. Recruiters I have spoken to brag about a 99.9% placement rate with contract to hire, and the line is that you won't not get hired unless you dramatically gently caress up. YMMV, of course.

Maneki Neko posted:They offered me a full time position with a 20-30% pay cut (saying that contractors generally make more), which I declined. musclecoder posted:Also, *always* send your resume in PDF format. Refuse to send it in Word. Technical recruiters are known for altering resumes to fit the job description better. While PDF's can be edited, it's harder than a regular Word doc. I'm a little bit more uneasy about this now, but it's still a job with a good company with good benefits if I land it full time, so I'm not going to lose all hope just yet. Hell, I haven't even spoken with anybody there yet, so all of this worrying may be for nothing, but at least now I have a better idea of what I'm getting into. Thanks for the replies.
