Hi all,
First off, I *DO NOT* want to talk to any recruiters or "third parties"
and I mean none (and yes I REALLY mean it even if you're a perfectly
nice recruiter).
JBoss is looking to hire a road warrior with proven Hibernate
experience. (3 is really preferred but if you've got enough H2
experience then we can upgrade you :-) as the concepts haven't really
changed you just need to get down with defining use-case driven fetch
strategies in HQL/Criteria vs mapping files).
There is an initial big multi-month gig up north that you may be
assigned to (home on the weekends if you like), but following this the
idea is about 75% travel or sometimes less. If brought in to the
company you get stock options and salary and benefits (BCBS because
Aetna put my Stepson as my spouse and gave me an extra wife also named
Erica putting me into at least three charges of poloygamy), 401k, 3wks
vacation, and all that stuff.
You'll do:
* Consulting primarily
* Training (fill in)
* Hibernate (probably mostly)
* EJB3 (in increasing amounts)
* JBoss
* occassionally WebSphere/WebLogic/Spring/etc stuff with Hibernate
The role requires someone pretty senior (if you don't know what a mutex
is or what notifyAll() does then you're probably not the right person)
technically. It also requires a lot in the way of soft skills as many
technical problems are personal in nature.
I cannot stress enough that you must be very very comfortable with a lot
of travel. If you haven't traveled before (~75%) as your primary job,
do yourself a favor and look deep down inside and say "could I still be
happy if I spent about 8 hours a week in dingy airport terminals?"
On the other hand, JBoss is probably the coolest company you could work
for and will look pretty kickass on your resume.
You'll undergo both the JBoss Advanced training and the Advanced
Hibernate3 training and receive on the job training by shadowing an
existing consultant. You'll learn real practical thing about how to
make some of the largest and smallest sites in the world scale, run,
work, etc. You'll be encouraged to do the things most companies
discourage: blog (http://jboss.org/jbossBlog/blog), wiki
(http://wiki.jboss.org) and say things that would get you referred to HR
in most companies.
There is no office, when you're not on the road...you work from home.
I'm not the hiring manager, but I was asked to help out, "You know best
what it takes to be a JBoss Consultant." So email me at
[EMAIL PROTECTED], telling me (not to the list, note the reply-to):
1. Why you want to work for JBoss?
2. What most appeals to you about the above?
3. If I have orders and orderLineItem in a one to many relationship what
would be the HQL3/EJB3QL to retrieve all orders shipped to the state of
california containing product id = 123?
Assume object model is something like:
Order(id, customers, lineItems, orderDate, shipment, invoice)
Customer(id, address, city, state, zip)
OrderLineItem(id, product, quantity, order)
Product(id, description)
(Order 1-M OrderLineItem, OrderLineItem has Product, Order M-1 Customer)
(Order-LineItems is bidirectional, Order-Customer is unidirectional,
LineItem-Product is unidirectional)
4. How long you have been doing Java?
5. Why did you choose Hibernate over CMP2 the last time you used it?
6. Name where you know me from or a mutual contact that I could
reference you though. Its not essential but the best references are
shared contacts.
7. Tell me about a sticky situation you handled with "soft skills"?
8. Any source you've written that I can reference online. (not
essential, but helpful)
If you send me a resume please send it in either text/html/doc (I hate
openoffice) and the two are preferred. Note that I probably won't read
your resume in great detail because I think resumes show how good you
are at making resumes more than anything else. I'm mostly interested in
your answers to the above (fine if its already in your resume).
