Oh god yes. Include that when you ask me to reccomend someone, too. more than once I've embarrassed myself by reccomending someone 'very good' when someone asks for someone 'very good' when it turns out they want to pay intern wages. Don't get me wrong... there's nothing wrong with paying intern wages and wanting the best person you can get for those wages. But tell me that ahead of time. This happened not a month ago and I ended up reccomending one of the best network guys I know for what was essentially a "intern to run the IT dept" role. I mean, I know guys who'd love to play in the "intern running the IT dept" role, and who'd be pretty good at it (I mean, judging them by the standards of asking a lot of someone with little experience) so if they actually told me what they wanted I could have helped them. But instead, I ended up kinda irritating someone I really admire, wasting the time of the recruiter (who I was helping because he was working with a friend) and making myself look like an asshole. Now, the OP pretty much said he wasn't looking for interns with the "sage level 4" bit... that's good. I am mostly ranting in the abstract here. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
