Works. No errors.
cool.
Chris is right, it is against the law to make any reference to age,
gender, etc.
But I can relate to Carl too. When I need to hire someone (which I
just
did, the latest two months ago) I know what I want and the type of
audience I want to have. And I have to make the most of my add to be
catchy enough to reach it and attract what I see might be the right
person for the team.
its strange, I put that in there to give people an idea what the team
here is like, some people need a quite, hide in the closet kind of
work place, which we are not.
I truly don't care what age the person may be, it their personality
1st and their skills a close second
(on the other hand a few of the girls here said they need to have a
French accent and be drop dead sexy, but i guess that would be wrong
to have in the job description....)
If Carl wants someone young and enthusiast what I read is that he
doesn't necessarily needs experience and he is also prepared to offer
flexible hours (see how early young people get up in the morning,
especially on Mondays). He is also prepared to take the risk that
comes
with lack of experience and youth. What I read there is opportunity to
grow for a recent graduate with as little as under 3 years industry
experience with a passion for computers and the linux virus in him/
her,
the Gentoo strain in this case.
I may add that like with everything else, you don't always get what
you
want, nor what you need. But if you don't ask for it, in the nicest
possible way you can of course, you don't get it at all. And not
always
the person that best fits the initial profile gets the job either.
Probably this is why his posting in this list. Where best to find the
most infected audience with the right bug?
correct, I just which I had thought of it a few months ago...

We are looking for a Linux (Gentoo mainly) system admin
Most members know my details, so I'll be brief.
First compiled a program:- 1969
First typed 'vi' and expected to see an editor:- 1988
First serious use of SYSVR3:- 1992 or was it
1993,
First install of Gentoo:- Version 1.2
Windows knowledge:- Zero
However, seeing as you have your index page forwarding to:-
http://www.e2-media.co.nz/flash.html
which displays as a plain dark blue motionless background in a
standards
conforming browser, you'd better know that I'll probably not want
to work
Would you mind telling me what the browser is?
(I appreciate it may be 'standards' confirming, but is the flash
plugin?)
what I'm more interested is why the detect has not bounced you
either full-time or permanently in that kind of intellectual
surroundings.
well, for now, just the user-agent signature of your browser will
greatly improve your 'suroundings'
btw, the use of any wording which infers that there an age range
within
which an offer of employment for the prospective employee will be
made is
against the law.
I sincerely apologise if you felt I implied the 'age' was in
reference to the position, it was merely a refection of the people we
currently employ
