[PLUG] Lansdale - SysAdmin

[John Von Essen <john@essenz.com>]

Chad,

Saw your email on PLUG, and I am interested. My resume is out of  
date, I'll try to get a fresh copy over to you by tomorrow morning.

Basically, my skills/experience cover everything in your description  
below and then some. I might be a tad over what your looking for, I  
have about 4-5 yrs of systems/network experience. But I like the  
sound of the company and if there is some work from home flexibility  
- thats a plus too.

I work for a telecom now, used to work for Aetna Intelihealth (WebMD  
like), and G-Log (a supply chain software company). I hate the  
telecom area though, infrastructure support is awful and we're always  
be bought out by another parent company.

Intermittent travel isn't an issue, used to do it at G-Log. In  
general, what is the work environment like? How large is the lansdale  
office?

Thanks
John Von Essen
