In my experience, employment is like real estate -- it is all about location, location, location.
I'm a SAGE Level IV in the Austin, TX area, and I'm finding level-appropriate jobs very thin on the ground here. I am on the sage-jobs list, but in all the years I've been on that list, I think I've seen only one job that was ever posted in the state of Texas, and that must have been for Dallas and not here. The old rule was that 90% of all positions are typically filled through personal contacts between the prospective employer and the candidate, and of the remainder about 90% are filled by head hunters. That leaves a sum total of only 1% to be filled through listings in public places, etc.... I don't know if that rule is still valid, however. -- Brad Knowles Sent from my iPhone On Oct 18, 2010, at 5:00 PM, David Nolan <[email protected]> wrote: > We've got a senior level systems admin/engineer (SAGE level IV) > position posted, but we're getting almost no resumes.
