JOB:

hi,

I'm working with employers across the UK (including locations such as
Chester, Cambridge, London, Yorkshire and Scotland) that are looking
to recruit permanent MySQL database administrators and architects.

Consequently I had hoped that some subscribers to this list might have
been keen to discuss with me these opportunities.

Kind regards,
James

Subject: [NWRUG] Wanna become a Rails Developer?

From: Francis Fish
Hi guys,

Apologies for cross posting to both lists as I know a lot of you are on
both.

The guys at On the Beach want to expand some more and have mined the
available Rails dev pool for the moment - here is the mail verbatim
from their CTO.

> As you know we are trying to recruit more developers. We have a massively ambitious plan to deliver and we need to grow our team to suit. As you also know, it is very difficult to find good Ruby people.  As a result, what I am planning to do is find as many experienced Ruby devs as possible but also to "grow our own". To do this I want to find and recruit up to 8 non-Ruby developers. They will need to be very bright, enthusiastic and eager to learn new skills. They will also need to be extremely good web developers already in another language such as .Net, Java, PHP, Perl etc. Ideally I would like them to have a demonstrable track record in delivering commercial web solutions.

> I am going to arrange what we are going to call our "Ruby Academy". This will involve a mix of activities including classroom based training, mentoring, out of hours assignments etc all designed to bring our new devs up to speed and make the productive Ruby developers. A key part of this will be that we will pair the new people with our existing experienced Ruby devs so that they can learn and be mentored for ongoing development. I will need you all to help with this and we will provide you with more guidance on what will be required nearer the time.

> For now I have a different request for you... Do you know anyone that you would like to recommend for our Ruby Academy? They would need to be of the right calibre - very bright, a good cultural fit, solid web development skills etc. You will receive a bounty if we take them on. If you know of anyone, come and see Colin, Paul J, Matt, Anna or me for a chat. We want to hear from you!

> Obviously the same applies for experienced Ruby devs as well.

Please contact the CTO, Jonathan Smith Jonathan.Smith at onthebeach.co.uk
if you'd like more information.

Thanks and regards,

Francis

Hey everyone.

I am looking at Linux jobs. Yes I know I have a new job etc etc ;) However I
was thinking of going for my full RHCE and then RH Certified security
specialist. Just taking the RHCE exam is about £800 by the time you figure
in lost wages!

However the crazy thing is, Jobserve, the largest of the advertising boys,
has zero jobs for RHCSS and only a few that mention RHCE with decent
salaries. Am I missing something or visiting the wrong places?

Probably, but I'm not an expert.

Firstly, are you on:
https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/linuxjobs
If not, join.
It's not amazing 'oop north' but occasionally stuff does come up.

I think the thing about industry qualifications, especially in IT is
that only some types of business hire by them.

I don't really want to get into the full "qualifications vs self taught"
or "recruiters vs direct" battles but it's worth remembering that
$pieceofpaper/$demonstrationofskillz will put you ahead in many
interviews, even if they haven't specified it.

I'd be interested to hear what you ultimately choose to do, I've been
considering a getting a CCNA for several years now.

Cheers,

Tim

Hi all,

Sorry for being so quiet and thanks to Stuart for sending out the reminder
for me. August is always a bad month - for me included!

I'll be at the next meet, so enjoy the rest of August and see you at the
