OK, I know that this is not really Web2.0, Business, Marketing or
MySQL related, but I found a very inspiring story about an
executive finding a job of his own dreaming.
I'm a lucky guy who has an interesting and fulfilling job, but
paving the road for the career of your dreams is something that
everyone should get used to, especially in this turbulent
times.
His approach was a good one for tough times, so I wanted to pass
it along to you. The part of the story that I like is the
attitude of the hunter while trying to find a job:
"I visualized what I wanted this position to be like and wrote a
list of bullet items about the job and my ideal company."I
completely agree. Each of us, especially in this flat and
continuously evolving world, can work to shape a position where
he fits perfectly. If you mix your technical skills, leadership …
Today is my first official day with Kickfire. I've spent
most of the day reading up about how the appliance works and
trying to wrap my head around some of the finer details.
My starting role here is essentially as an internal consultant,
which means that I'll be the one that gets the MySQL server
related questions from the development team. This is going to
allow me a chance to really sink my teeth further into the source
code and help implement some really cool tech, which has me quite
excited.
Later I will be doing some external consulting (sales,
implementation, etc) that will allow me to travel a bit.
Overall, I think this position is a great fit for me and I'm
really psyched.
What they need the most in the short term is someone who could do
customer support between 3am and 11am, London time, so someone in
Australia would be perfect
Do you happen to know anyone who might be interested in the job?
Ideally it would be someone who’s familiar with web technologies (web, DNS, e-mail servers), linux and maybe some web frameworks (Django, Rails,. ..).
The candidate would be doing customer support (answering tickets) but if they’re interested they could also do sysadmin work or even development work.
