Job Opportunities - Advert
The ICT division at my employer has just announced a number of Job Vacancies including one in my team. You can read about all of the vacancies here. I am particularly looking for people from a SQL Server background (since we are taking on responsibility for that technology) with an exposure to, or looking for exposure to, Oracle technologies. The job ad for for the DBA position reads as follows
Our DBA/Developer team support the technology that underpins some of the council’s key business applications, including housing services, social care and internal finance, HR and procurement, across Oracle and MS SQL platforms. As well as supporting packaged ‘off the shelf’ solutions, you will also be responsible for developing and supporting some of the key integrations that enable us to deliver services that are genuinely joined-up and customer focused.
We are particularly looking to build the SQL Server skill set within this important team. You will need to demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of SQL Server databases and the tools which are used to develop and support database technologies. You will have experience in using these skills to provide appropriate support, advice and guidance to business users as well as delivering solutions for complex business requirements
The closing date is March 17th. You can apply online and see the full details here
Nice Job Ad
I love your job ad. Not that I am applying, but it is refreshing to see that you cut out all the crap. Looks open minded and well versed if you ask me. I submitted my resume and the response I got from HR when they spoke to the DBA was I didn't have enough "years" of experience, even though I had everything they were asking for. They wanted someone with many years and I had several years. I told her thanks and decided I probably did not want to work there anyway if they were looking at my resume and assuming if I could do the job or not. I should have asked if I can determine years from hours worked. If so, total_hours_worked / 2080 = years, then I would have about 10 years experience : )...
