DrJays.com is looking for experienced and well rounded developers to
initially code perl and later perhaps Python. Can't find them. Pass
me your resume and if you get hired I bet a bonus! :) Unfortunately
we are too small a shop to be able to take the time to take on a
newbie and train them up.
And *everybody* says this. "We only want experienced people" in spite
of a field in which what you know goes obsolete every 3 years.
So, it's better to let the position go unfilled? Stupid.
Go down to the universities (you know, we do have couple good ones in
San Diego), talk to the "cooperative education" department, and land
yourself a coop student. They work like dogs and are grateful for the
opportunity. Yes, the young ones generally don't give you a lot of
return their first term. However, their second term they are generally
quite solid and the third term they are often better than some of your
lower performing permanent employees. Terms rotate every 6 months or so
(6 mo coop, 6 mo school, 6 mo coop, etc.)
We posted what I consider a very worthy ad on joelonsoftware.com
where lots of great programmers hang out.
Lots of great *Windows* programmers hang out. Did you folks even read
his blog?!?!?!
As a non-Windows person, I would never dream of searching
jobs.joelonsoftware.com for a position.
BTW, I can't find your ad on jobs.joelonsoftware.com.
Didn't get a single reply. And DrJays.com is an awesome place to
work! Judging by the fall off in resumes we have been receiving, as
of a year and a half ago the job market has been on the way up.
If your ad looks like the one on your website, it stinks. I read it as
crap junior job with crap pay demanding heavily experienced person. Not
putting a salary range marks the job as not worth pursuing.
