When Recruiters Spam Sysadmins

drewzhrodague — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 09:33:41 -0700

What a bizarre concept it is to be a systems administrator looking for work. People have systems, and people with systems need systems administrators to make them work. Whether these systems are used for file storage, websites, or email, it is the systems administrator's duty to fight abuse and spam.

Nine signs the online job market is broken

I found this article via Digg, which states (obviously) the nine reasons the online job market is broken. I've known this and commented on this over the years, and it is the prime reason I started Recruiter-Rater. An interesting article.

Video Resumes - A Few Guidelines

drewzhrodague — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 05:20:22 -0800

I heard a story on npr.org this morning about video resumes, which made me think a little. Everyone whom I've ever talked to about resumes (except recruiters), has said that I must have one sheet, and list all of my work-related experience on one sheet -- and no picture. Now people are doing video resumes. How can they even think that could work?

I have tried almost everything with my resume: from 7 pages to 1 page, vivid descriptions, brief descriptions, different wording -- I was even going to try a picture on my next resume, maybe a few simple graphics. I wasn't thinking about anything as crazy as video.

I haven't seen my resume or my 10 years of experience work for me yet. I *still* get all of my work through word of mouth, or because I know someone. And to be honest, even when I've known someone, that doesn't mean that I will get the job. I still have to fight for it at the interviews, and on the phone. A resume has to stand out from the rest, while also showing an experienced and capable candidate.

I was checking out Craigslist
yesterday, and applying for jobs, when I stumbled upon this gem of a
job posting, which contains an early picture of Microsoft employees,
but no details. Since I work mostly for startups, I figured I would
inquire. Unfortunately, the person at the other end isn't actually hiring, and that is about all the details I could gain. Here's my exchange with this person:

Hi, I'm Drew, and I saw a posting for a web developer job on
Craigslist.

I am a 10-year UNIX systems administrator veteran, with a bit of

Recruitards - Stupid Job Ads

drewzhrodague — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 09:06:14 -0700

After browsing Slashdot, I found a link in this guy's tagline to Recruitards.com, which has some of the most stupid job-ads I've seen. Post your stupid job ads up there, and link to 'em here. Bad recruiters need to be shamed out of existance.
