Jobs!

For any of you overqualified people stuck on a tier 1 helpdesk making beans:

Two, and possibly three, graveyard shift NOC operator openings with my company working four 10-hour shifts in Seattle. Duties will include mainly Windows server and network administration and troubleshooting for a 24-7-365 global ecommerce company you've almost certainly heard of -- looking to break a billion dollars in revenue this year. Salary will probably be in the $28/hr range -- I'm not involved in the actual hiring process and can't confirm that for absolutesure. Benefits are pretty standardish for IT work. I got the job without certs or a degree, so that's at least potentially feasible.

If this sounds of interest to you, you can send resumes or questions to my livejournal email address.

EDIT: Almost forgot to add, there is a 0% chance of working from home.

How much of a recruiting bonus do you get? ;)

[kizayaen.livejournal.com]

Probably none.

There is one, which I don't know the details of, save that it takes six months to qualify for. The "possibly three" portion of the openings here is that I want to get the hell out of the graveyard shift business and don't plan on being around long enough to collect a bonus, ideally.

I'm sending you mine only cause I need to get the hell out of this business that I'm stuck in now. Granted, I don't really have NOC knowledge, but I've got all the other shit. Your computer isn't on? And the power is out? Okay.

I will note that operations/production support really is kind of key. We don't do enduser support. "My computer isn't plugged in" and "My password isn't being recognized because caps lock is on" just doesn't really happen on a rackmount server in a production datacenter. But, "we just got SCOM alerts on these six virtual boxes, we should check to see if they're all on the same host which may be non-interactive" does.
