Hey Fred-

Kris is right, we've had a bear of a time getting any qualified
candidates so far.  We had some, but moved a little too slow and
missed out.

Here's a rundown of what we're looking for:

*nix sysadmin - about 70 linux boxes, 32 HP-UX boxes, and a handful of
AIX and Solaris boxes.  Linux is the big one, and continually growing,
seems like 2-3 more every week or so.  We do the OS and hardware, and
other groups do the applications.

Our group is also the SAN administrators, running IBM storage (SVC
virtualization, DS4000 and XIV disk) and Brocade/McData switches.  So,
some SAN experience would be nice but isn't really critical.  Any
decently talented Unix/Linux administrator could handle what we do
with no problem.

So, if you know of anyone who might be interested, please let me know.
Also, they should submit their resume here:

       https://recruit.jefferson.edu/

The job ID is 58212.  Unfortunately they make it a pain in the butt to
directly link to the job, so you have to go to "Advanced search" and
enter the job ID, or alternately, search for "UNIX System
Administrator" and it should be the only hit..

They should also send their resume to me directly, since we've had
some folks with excellent qualifications get passed up by HR for some
unknown reason.

Fred,
My good friend Chris is looking to hire a full time sysadmin (DevOps, Chris?
That's the current cool kid title...) in the area.  Knowing your extensive
network, I thought maybe you could put something out for him to get a few
good leads as it's been troublesome finding qualified folks so far.
Thanks!
Kris
