We're still anxiously seeking good candidates for our job opening in Ann Arbor, MI. The talent drain out of SE Michigan has been pretty astonishing; with the national unemployment rate what it is I feel like most hiring managers are swimming in CVs, and we're barely getting any.

Really depends on what kind of job you're looking for. Lack of degree can be a total non-issue, or a complete dealbreaker depending on the job you're looking for and the industry/company you're trying to get in to.

Yeah, I've never understood what understanding the computational complexity of bubblesort has to do with unfucking user profiles or print drivers or whatever.
There's definitely some useful lessons you can get out of a CS degree, especially if you start scripting and automating poo poo, or dealing with the simple inheritance model in a nagios config or something, but required? gently caress you, tell me why it's required.

What's the general opinion of contract-to-hire recruiter jobs? This guy wants me to interview with a large well-established group so I have no reason to be suspect, but the 6 month contract-to-hire thing is strange to me.

Yeah, thanks for the perspective. I'll do the song and dance and see where it goes. The gig is with a large university that I graduated from and worked for previously, so I'd like to think they wouldn't pull the rug after 6 months, but I'll walk into it all with a healthy dose of skepticism.

I was going to post a job I found but it's for a company I don't know anything about that I came across while researching something about startups. Is that cool for this thread or should I hold off?
I think anyone who enters into an employment agreement based solely on the recommendation of something they read on SomethingAwful.com deserves what they get, so I say go for it.

- Provides guidance and assistance to local and remote Support Staff where necessary, and is ultimately responsible for escalated support issues from all companies globally.
- Respond to rare off-hours incidents.
Skills/Qualifications- Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field.
- 6-8 years of IT experience and at least 5 years of Systems Administration experience or equivalent certifications (e.g. MSCE, VCP, CCNP, etc.)
- Requires a strong knowledge of all Microsoft technologies (Active Directory, Exchange, SharePoint, SCCM, SQL, PowerShell, etc.)
- Requires experience selecting, installing and maintaining enterprise storage solutions (SAN/NAS, FC/iSCS/NFS).
- 3-5 years administering enterprise virtualization technology, e.g. (e.g. VMware, Hyper-V, RHEV, OpenStack)
- Experience deploying enterprise monitoring systems such as Nagios, Icinga, or SolarWinds.
- Requires knowledge of telecommunications and networking technologies (e.g. Avaya, Cisco, Lync, SIP/PBX)
- Is an expert in a wide range of operating system configurations, including all Windows operating systems, mobile operating systems, and Linux distributions.
- Must be familiar with a wide range of hardware technologies, including switches, routers, firewalls, wireless LAN controllers and access points, PCs, servers, and handhelds.
As with all job postings, this is a wish list. Some of it is fairly flexible. Feel free to PM me with any questions - I'm the hiring manager.

he just wasted on an account to post his lovely job opportunities, he could have half this job completed. What a waste.
Half the department doesn't have a CompSci degree; it's clearly not a hard requirement.
