[Gllug] VACANCY - Linux Specialist @ Visual Effects Training Facility

[Ben Corbett]

 There is no requirement of specific experience in the IT industry and I am willing to consider any candidates. Regarding the responsibilities of the role, I'm not expecting every applicant to have "all bases covered". An applicant can be brought up to speed in any areas lacking. I am more concerned about the essential requirements and I turn to the applicants to their interpretation of those.

Please feel free to email me if you have any further questions/concerns about the role.

In what way exactly? Care to expand for potential applicants? Just 
interested as I've had to hire sysadmins in the past and may have to 
again in the future.

I thought the salary of the vacancy was low, but at least there was no 
ageism intended in the job spec, ie "young dynamic team" or "suit junior 
position" and other such cliches, which is refreshing.
