| douglasawh-work | anybody looking for a job? Our recruiters are bugging me about finding people | 21:35 |
|---|---|---|
| nickmoeck | douglasawh-work: What kind of work? | 22:32 |
| douglasawh-work | nickmoeck: http://careers.epic.com/ but specifically I was asked about CaTS and SS TS roles. I don't know if they are named that on the site though. I'm looking. | 22:33 |
| nickmoeck | woah. didn't know you worked for Epic | 22:33 |
| nickmoeck | I'll take a look at the available positions. Thanks douglasawh-work | 22:34 |
| douglasawh-work | I believe this is the SS role but the internal vs. external role names are goofy sometimes: http://careers.epic.com/position-108 | 22:34 |
| nickmoeck | Yeah | 22:34 |
| douglasawh-work | this is the one that would be on my team...well, depending on how you define that, but let's not get into technicalities: http://careers.epic.com/position-161 | 22:35 |
| nickmoeck | Where are the positions located? | 22:37 |
| douglasawh-work | all of these would be in Madison | 22:47 |
| douglasawh-work | well, either Madison or Verona | 22:47 |
| douglasawh-work | SS TS is in Madison right now, but that could change | 22:47 |
| douglasawh-work | We have offices in Dubai and in The Netherlands but as of right now my team isn't over there and I'd bet SS TS isn't either | 22:48 |
| nickmoeck | Okay, thanks. Might apply for a spot. even though I dont have a BS | 22:48 |
| douglasawh-work | do you have a BA? | 22:49 |
| douglasawh-work | if you don't have a bachelors, I wouldn't waste your time | 22:49 |
| douglasawh-work | They are quite particular about that | 22:49 |
| douglasawh-work | I don't have a BS either...but I do have an MS | 22:49 |
| nickmoeck | Well then, I guess I won't be applying | 22:49 |
| douglasawh-work | yeah, it sucks. I think they probably turn away alot of great candidates because of that, but that's the way it is | 22:50 |
| sgtd | real experience > diploma any day | 22:51 |
| douglasawh-work | sgtd: the Epic MD-fueled world doesn't see it that way | 22:52 |
| douglasawh-work | generally I'd agree, but for the SS TS role there is a TON of training | 22:52 |
| douglasawh-work | they don't require *any* experience | 22:52 |
| douglasawh-work | training or brainwashing, hard to say having not gone through it | 22:53 |
| sgtd | i suppose the medical field would have a different mindset | 22:53 |
| douglasawh-work | I mean, I did a little, but my role is way, way different than anything else here because it's not customer-facing | 22:53 |
| sgtd | i know a guy who worked at abiomed and developed code for mechanical hearts. | 22:54 |
| sgtd | he had a degree | 22:54 |
| douglasawh-work | I suppose it'd be hard to say had I gone through it...such is the nature of brainwashing | 22:54 |
| sgtd | but it was way old | 22:54 |
| douglasawh-work | I don't think that matters. They tend to higher young, but not always. They aren't going to turn down someone phenomal for being too old | 22:55 |
| douglasawh-work | also, I guess the same might be true of a degree, but unless nickmoeck has one a nobel prize, I stand by what I said. :) | 22:55 |
| nickmoeck | Well, I do have an associates degree | 22:56 |
| douglasawh-work | hmm, you could try | 22:56 |
| nickmoeck | and 5 years of experience with Linux | 22:56 |
| douglasawh-work | they are going to ask you for SAT scores and things like that | 22:56 |
| nickmoeck | ACT score was a 31 | 22:56 |
| nickmoeck | Never took the SAT | 22:57 |
| douglasawh-work | not from the midwest == that means nothing to me | 22:57 |
| douglasawh-work | but it probably means something to them | 22:57 |
| douglasawh-work | actually, why don't you send me your resume | 22:58 |
| douglasawh-work | they tend to take employee recommendations pretty seriously | 22:58 |
| douglasawh-work | whitfield@opensourceplayground.org | 22:58 |
| douglasawh-work | I know the SS TS role is out, but the SysAdmin job probably has more wiggle room | 22:59 |
| nickmoeck | douglasawh-work: I'll think about it. Not sure right at this moment because I'm still mulling over starting my own company. I appreciate it though | 22:59 |
| nickmoeck | Plus I'd have to move to Madison, and I'm not sure I can do that right now | 23:00 |
| douglasawh-work | nickmoeck: where are you now? | 23:00 |
| nickmoeck | Milwaukee | 23:01 |
| douglasawh-work | yeah, that commute's not going to be pleasant...or economical | 23:01 |
