Hunter/Garcia ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 21 Dec 1999 13:10:04 -0800 From: Shava Nerad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: "webmaster" opportunity at university bookstore I'm going to continue a bit of consulting level at the UO Bookstore, but I have a new job working national and international digital divide issues as a writer/researcher (yay!). They've decided that e-commerce might not be their best investment, and want to have a really useful website, and are willing to help someone in a career transition. They're looking for someone here to grow into a position -- it's a work environment that requires timeclock and no telecommuting (which is the reason I'm leaving, but you may not care...). You get a super employee discount, and the people are nice. It's a quiet, well appreciated job, more like doing a jr. advertising and promotions job than anything else. They were doing online buying, but have decided they aren't ripe for it, so it would be posting sales online, keeping the sportswear catalog up to date, doing periodic content like author signings and special events, and so on. Here's some of the description from the posting. This is a great opportunity to start your resume with something webby! They are not looking so much for professional experience in the field as reliability and willingness to learn fast and good communications (at this rate, fer sure, since it's $10/hr or per experience!). Full or part time, so if you can do database and not art, or vice versa, just come in and fill out the lengthy (includes essay questions!) app. Closes THURSDAY 12/24! Responsible for the daily maintenance of store web site. Complete regular database integration of inventory data from AS400 point of sale computer system to web site for product display. Will eventually assist in creating and maintaining e-commerce solutions for product categories. Must have previous experience with digital photography, color correction, and HTML. Familiarity with WebStar, Internet Information Server, Dreamweaver and web database middle wear helpful. Familiarity with database functions necessary, applied database experience helpful. Familiarity with functions of ODBC, RDBMS, SQL, CGI, NT and Mac OS systems helpful. Previous e-commerce solution development helpful. Friendly demeanor and excellent communication skills required. Submit resume and portfolio of examples of web work to the Bookstore Human Resources Office. I want these folks to have a good person, and it could be a sort of good break for someone here who wants to get into the biz from another field, and has a reliable work record in whatever you've been doing. Happy to answer questions for y'all... And please feel free to pass this on. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't get enough apps with the holidays, so they might repost it for something more like the beginning of the new term here. === Shava Nerad [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
