We here at sistina are currently interviewing, and as soon as our HR dept gets on it's way, we will be actively hiring lots of people. Send over a resume, I'd love to pass it along as we are a linux-only development shop right now (except the winblows boxen the suits need to use.) Also, the tclug jobs list gets some activity that's interesting. (That's why I'm working here in fact, thanks to Idiot Ben ;-) I would suggest checking the local papers for other opportunities, but I would be more than willing to get your resume pushed through, we are in need of administrative people as we will be setting up a training center and a LOT more machines than the 2 of us can handle very shortly. > >Any information would be appreciated, as well as any feedback on salary >ranges and cost of living stuff. > >Thank you very much, i look forward to joining the LUG meetings when I >move back! > >thanks again- > > >-- >|| || || || || || >duncan shannon .-. >duncan at sodatrain.com /v\ > // \\ > /( )\ L I N U X > ^^-^^ >Phear the Penguin< > > > > >_______________________________________________ >tclug-list mailing list >tclug-list at mn-linux.org >https://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list Enjoy the rest of your time in Boston, MN really isn't all that fun compared to MA.
