The company that my mom works for in Winston-Salem is seeking applicants for lots of IT positions that need to be filled immediately. If you have any IT experience and need a job lead, shoot me a PM and I can try and hook you up.

Unfortunately I don't have a whole lot of info on this yet, but I'll try and post more as I find out.

^^ I don't do staffing. I'm a software developer at IBM. We have an open position in my group as well as a sister group.

10/7/2011 11:31:55 AM

The other day, I found a hiring tool disguised as a coding puzzle. It was a bit open ended, very interesting, and only required a little javascript hacking.

I submitted my solution and surprise, surprise: I got emailed asking how I feel about startups in NYC. Not sure what the hell I was expecting... a well paying company in RTP or something?

I'm trying not to even entertain the idea, but it would be kind of sweet.

I need 2 full time Network Security Engineers to join my team at Cisco.

Technically, if you have good nix skills, great knowledge of tcp/http, and phenomenal troubleshooting skills, you would do well.

It's a customer support job for the Cisco Ironport Web Security Appliance.

I am also hiring for a contract position as well, so if you are smart but need experience, its a great way to get your foot in the door.

Please PM me if interested.

so, is all of the recruiting for IT positions now going through India, or what? I've gotten several calls from recruiters, and it seems like 5/6th of them are Indian, yet know nothing about IT.

2/17/2012 11:42:38 AM

^

I'm pretty sure recruiters select out the worst candidates. Our ratio right now sits at with 30 people referred from a recruiter one was passable. Out of 10 people we've contacted directly on linkedin 2 were passable. Out of everyone we talk to we look for a brain, a pulse, and a soul. You'd be surprised at the combinations you get without one of the three

Recruiters have given us developers with 10 years Node.JS experience (only out for 2 years) and candidates that clearly wrote 2 lines of jQuery at some point in their life, wanted $100K - $150K and can't answer basic questions about javascript you'd get from reading a tutorial in a day.

2/17/2012 2:02:37 PM

if i were looking to hire somebody and didn't have somebody in mind through former colleagues, i'd probably start with stackoverflow. i've met a handful of recruiters that know what's up, but most of them seem to just blast emails/phone calls to whoever they can find on the internet

2/17/2012 2:20:23 PM

^does anyone regard reputation with any importance? I've always wondered that and have been trying to increase mine recently (it's hard as hell).

Not worried about certs really ... but I sure want to have someone who know how ccna level stuff works ... Ip addressing, OSI model, local subnet related stuff ... you've got to know it really well.

Recruiters, by and large, aren't technical people. They are sales people. There are a few exceptions, of course, but a lot of recruiters just sit on LinkedIn all day and punch in key terms and send out form emails hoping someone will bite. You shouldn't be at all surprised when a recruiter seems used car salesman-y and is all "WHAT DO I GOTTA DO TO PUT YOU IN THIS JOB TODAY MR. BURRO?"

2/20/2012 8:36:14 PM

My company in Cary is looking for a help desk tech to start hopefully in the next few weeks. Entry level position or someone with limited past experience. Experience troubleshooting windows systems and working in windows domains is preferred. Experience with VMware View is a plus but not required.

If you are interested shoot me a PM and I will send info for where to send resumes.

2/21/2012 11:58:22 AM

^^ see, I know not to give any thoughts to recruiters, because most of them, when not Indian, don't know whit about what I do, and even then, the most recent Indians haven't been too stellar, either. the actual technical people at this joint are stoked about me, which just seems off. I'm not saying I'm total dogshit, but I don't think I'm anything to get excited about

2/21/2012 11:10:29 PM

^So like "I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member" type deal?

I've noticed that the easiest way to detect a scam (e.g. pyramid scheme) is when the people interviewing you spend more time pumping you up about how awesome you are than figuring out what you can actually do. In other words, it's a tip off that they what they really need is to fill seats instead of get shit done.

3/26/2012 8:26:11 PM

I'd be more concerned with them equating Word and Excel skills to "IT proficiency."

Or focusing on what type of IDE they'd like you to have experience with.

But seriously. Why all the fucking java hate. What do you use: Haskell? OCaml? Algol-67?

There's a reason its taught as the first language at MIT. I feel like my childhood was taken from me at NC State having to learn Java first.

I learned it in AI and I use the term learned very loosely.

4/6/2012 7:17:59 PM

All CS degrees should include a lisp component.

It's helpful for learning how to prove stuff, learning about programming concepts, exposes you to alternate ways to think about solving problems and designing languages, and is similar to template meta-programming. If you can't look back and see the value, then you probably aren't working on hard problems.

4/7/2012 5:28:50 PM

Why have I never seen it listed as a primary language at any company I've applied then?

4/7/2012 7:02:15 PM

Strawman and bandwagon fallacies. Why does it have to be listed as a primary language to be important? That's your argument, not mine. Furthermore, most companies are shitty. I couldn't care less about what most companies are doing.

4/7/2012 7:15:56 PM

Lisp isn't popular because it's too hard for mere mortals to comprehend.

http://www.winestockwebdesign.com/Essays/Lisp_Curse.html
Lisp isn't popular because the geniuses who hack with lisp rewrite everything from the ground up.

Uh huh. Does every article about lisp really have to start with how all lisp hackers are fucking programming gods?
