From m-lists at biscuit.org.uk Thu Aug 9 11:40:46 2007 From: m-lists at biscuit.org.uk (Stuart Winter) Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2007 11:40:46 -0000 Subject: [linuxjobs] Intern System Administration position - Red Hat, Farnborough Message-ID: Hello Red Hat are recruiting for a junior system administrator, based in our Farnborough office. The details are: https://redhat.ats.hrsmart.com/cgi-bin/a/highlightjob.cgi?jobid=2598 (I think our HR department is a bit slow on the realisation that we moved from Guildford a few months ago ;-) ) This intern position is initially for 6 months and would suit a person who has recently graduated and is enthusiastic about managing Linux servers in a corporate environment. We have some specific projects in mind that we're going to be working on: - consolidating our office server footprint by using virtualisation with RHEL5 - updating our configuration management system to work with RHEL5 - a 'catalog' of services that we can provide to internal departments - we're also opening a new, and moving an existing office, which you may be involved with And you'd also be working on regular 'tickets' which will help to integrate you into the group and understand how we work and expose you to the servers. In Farnborough we have myself (sys admin), a telephony guy, the Help Desk manager and 2 help desk guys. Chiefly you'd be working with me, but there would probably be a few times (very rarely!) when you would be asked to do some help desk work if the HD are really busy. Or if you were interetsed in working on RHEL desktop issues, you could choose to spend some time with them. The salary for this is approx 1000ukp/month. If you have any queries, please email me - swinter at redhat.com Cheers Stuart From rjm at wessexnetworks.com Thu Aug 9 16:50:54 2007 From: rjm at wessexnetworks.com (Richard Maynard / Wessex Networks) Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2007 16:50:54 -0000 Subject: [linuxjobs] Engineer Required Message-ID: <010401c7daa2$ad486b30$07d94190$@com> Afternoon!

It's a fair comment, but we're open to someone ranging from part time to full time, and ranging from little experience but keen to more experience (and hopefully still keen). If you say something like (as an example) "salary 20K- 40K depending on experience", people focus on the 40K. Not easy, either for employee or employer, but thank you for taking the trouble to send the mail.
