[ale] [ALE-jobs] Ericsson job posting

[Lightner, Jeff]

I agree.

 

All the jobs I've applied for and gotten in the last 10 years or so have
been with MS-Word DOC resumes as that is what the recruiter/HR has
requested.   This is despite the fact all those jobs have been for
UNIX/Linux systems administration.  

 

It's a wonder anyone bothers to post on Ale anymore given that some
churl will always attack the job posting rather than simply disregard it
if they're not interested.   As noted these people do NOT speak for the
whole group.

Everybody write this down... hell, chisel it into a stone tablet...

 

Jim and I agree on something.

 

I am all for immersing ourselves completely into the arcane and esoteric
innards of the OS we all love.  Unfortunately, though, someone with a
degree in human resources or resource management has very little to no
knowledge of our world.  Even those who take a lot of time to learn some
of what we do will still always fall short in some profound way.

 

To expect 75+ percent of the market to bow to our will is just plain
goofy regardless of how much better than everything else our OS actually
is.  :-)

Please don't start ragging on the HR person who posts a job notice in M$

can't figure out how to read a word file on your Linux system, ask for
help.

Sheesh.
