I keep getting recruiting emails from charlesngu...@google.com about working for google as an engineer. The messages are pretty much the same and go like this:
------------------------------------ I am part of the Google Staffing team and was wondering if you would be open to exploring engineering opportunities with Google. I am impressed with your background and thought your skills could be a fit for our team. I am currently looking for Engineers with hybrid Unix/Linux Systems Administrators who possess experience in coding in C/C++ or Java and/or scripting skills (Perl, Python, or Shell). The Google.com Engineering Team is one of the most visible and respected teams within Google, and the most mission critical. The team is responsible for keeping the Google site and infrastructure up and running 24/7, 365 days/year. They are dedicated to the scalability and availability for the performance of Google applications. In short, they maintain, monitor, and improve all Google services. Locations primarily concentrated in Mt. View, Dublin, Zurich, with distributed teams in San Francisco, Santa Monica, Boston, Kirkland, Seattle, New York, London, and Sydney. If you are interested, please email me an updated resume. If the timing isn’t right for you to make a move, I would love to connect on LinkedIn, and hopefully, we can keep in touch. Any referrals would be appreciated! --------------------------------- I'm guessing I'm not the only one on this list to get these emails and suspect that pretty much everyone gets them. Is that the case? If yes, what's the point of spamming a more-or-less random set of people who although are probably interested in IT-related stuff but who can otherwise also be a set of dogs. Aren't enough people applying without this? Just wondering, Daniel -- Psss, psss, put it down! - http://www.cafepress.com/putitdown -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
