Relocation (inner-state and outer-state) is presently not a viable option. Over 10+ years of experience in both heterogeneous (BSD/Linux/Solaris and Windows) and homogeneous (pure BSD, Linux, or Solaris) environments. Familiar with many forms of scripting languages (as all admins should be). Also very familiar with a range of networking equipment and network device configurations (layers 1 through 7). Extensive exposure to 24x7x365 work environments and "on-call" emergency duties. Excellent communication and documentation skills. I'm more than willing to do remote work (occasional telecommuting is possible for within California, otherwise I'd prefer Email+phone) for folks outside of the state of California. Salary and/or hourly wages are negotiable; to put it bluntly, I'm quite affordable. I prefer a position I enjoy and find challenging, not large paycheques; as long as I can pay rent and feed myself, I'm happy.

My profile and resume are more or less a sliding window, keeping the past 3-4 jobs, since anything longer than 3 pages tops is considered superfluous. I believe you read my resume and concluded that I had "just finished high school". I haven't attended any type-of schooling since January 1994; this is shown. Throughout my schooling, I concurrently gained my CNE (but do not list it, since I have no desire to be contacted by recruiters wanting someone to maintain their Netware networks ;) ), while simultaneously working for over 4 years at Oregon State University. Since 1994 I've been working for either universities or small-to-large companies doing *IX administrative work. None of this is listed on my resume due to the aforementioned -- it's old news. No agency cares to know about how I worked for OSU from 1990-1995, MediaCity and Verity in 1995-1996, nor BendNet in 1997. Yadda yadda yadda. In addition, different companies need individuals for different positions. I have no problem working as either a gopher, an "assistant", or a senior administrator. Too much focus in this industry is put on something as miniscule as a title. I was hired by those companies for the positions you see (either an Asst. or a Senior), and had I not been suited for the position, I would not have been given it. To answer your question directly: you're asking the wrong person. You should be asking all the companies out there wanting a "senior" administrator to explain what it is that's "senior" to them. If you want a literal number, here you go: 8+ years seems to be the defining difference between Senior and Junior.

( http://jdc.parodius.com/work/ ) What, in your mind, constitutes seniority? I'm just curious, because I've been administering UNIX systems for, well, two decades. Perhaps I should call myself Uber-Uber-Uber-Uber-Senior-UNIX-Systems-Administrator, to distinguish myself from the crowd of merely 'senior' UNIX systems administrators. /-: Regards, -- richard Jeremy Chadwick wrote: >FreeBSD administrator looking for work within the northern California area; >limited SPECIFICALLY to the Mountain View/Sunnyvale area of Silicon Valley. >Relocation (inner-state and outer-state) is presently not a viable option. > >Over 10+ years of experience in both heterogeneous (BSD/Linux/Solaris >and Windows) and homogeneous (pure BSD, Linux, or Solaris) environments. >Familiar with many forms of scripting languages (as all admins should be). >Also very familiar with a range of networking equipment and network device >configurations (layers 1 through 7).

Ok, I've had it. No one's judging your experience, but it's clear you are judging his. This shouldn't be a list for ridiculing others in the same position we are all in, this should be a list for helping each other get jobs in FreeBSD to promote and aid the cause of FreeBSD proliferation. Your actions are directly counterproductive. He has stated that he has more actual job experience than is on the resume, but has chosen to only show the last three jobs. Frankly, I disagree with that -- the "keep your resume to one page" is not entirely true, but that is his choice for his resume. It in no way reflects on your obviously prolific resume, so stop attacking him as though you are being attacked yourself. Regardless, according to the SAGE guidelines, one only needs over five years of experience to be considered a senior level SysAdmin, so he is quite within the qualifications by experience: http://www.sage.org/pubs/8_jobs/core.mm So the entire argument is moot anyway.

Replying to this is probably a really stupid thing to do... However, I'll say one thing, your CV should show your job decription as it was stated in your job contract i.e. what your employer hired you to be. If your employer hired you as "senior sysadmin" then that's what you can put in your CV. if you put anything other than that then you're likely to be found out at a later stage in proceedings, what you actually did in a practical sense is an entirely different matter and something a prospective employer should have enough sense to determine through other means.

For some time now I have been studying the FreeBSD operating system and using it as much as possible, technically I find it to be a good system. I have experimented with various versions of Windows / Mac OS and Linux/Unix amongst others over the years on several hardware platforms. After several years of `playing` with FreeBSD, I have made an observation about FreeBSD admin's or users or developers or whatever else you may want to call yourselves, and that is this (Firstly, I realise this is a generalisation. Secondly, yes I am generalising but that is what I must do to describe a community easily. Thirdly, there are always exceptions to every rule of course) - Out of all the virtual community's I have interacted with over the years, FreeBSD admin's are the worst - You are unhelpful, Pedantic, Obsessive and Obstructive, generally reminding me of a bunch of bitching secondary school girls who believe they are the `in-group`. Whatever happened to helping each other and community spirit. You all seem so obsessed with FreeBSD and your self prowess of such that if someone is unwilling to follow `your` standards or ideals then you push them aside. Now I have read a lot of articles saying the Mac community has the worst Zealots, but I would suggest that its actually FreeBSD. What are you guys so scared off, cant we have open cooperative development without all this touchy feel-i-ness (unless its constructive of course). (Please don't reply to tell me FreeBSD is an Open project and cooperatively developed - I am aware of this), to what I refer is all the politics and snide doings that are also in place. An Example - I have been kicked out of a FreeBSD chat room strangely named #freebsdhelp which one would imagine you would visit for help - although I required help and asked sensible questions (I am not new to this!), I was kicked out for using short hand. I never realised Internet Chat was so formal and I would cite this as an example of small mindedness among FreeBSD admin's. This is not meant as a bitch at a community of what are very technically apt individuals, more a call to awareness. Has anyone else noticed this? Hope I haven't dropped a bomb! Cheers Adam Retter.

Yesterday, in recognition of the charter for this list (and my error in approving a post that was off-topic), I posted a note requesting that further discussion regarding someone's post be directed elsewhere. I then set mailman to trap posts that were obvious attempts to carry on the discussion in -jobs@. This morning, I found 7 posts awaiting disposition; I rejected each of them with a note. Since bypassing that check is trivial, I have now placed the list as a whole on "emergency moderation" status, so no messages get through that are not first vetted by a person (well, me, anyway). I will take this opportunity to remind folks of the purpose and charter of the list: * freebsd-jobs Jobs offered and sought |This is a forum for posting employment notices and resumes |specifically related to FreeBSD, e.g. if you're seeking FreeBSD-related |employment or have a job involving FreeBSD to advertise then this |is the right place. This is NOT a mailing list for general |employment issues since adequate forums for that already exist |elsewhere. | |Note that this list, like other mailing lists @FreeBSD.ORG, is |distributed worldwide. Thus, you need to be clear about location |and the extent to which telecommuting or assistance with relocation |is available. | |All email should be open source formats only. Examples of open |source formats include PostScript (.ps), Portable Document Format |(.pdf) and ASCII text. Proprietary formats such as MicroSoft Word |(.doc) are not accepted. Please especially note the part that reads "This is NOT a mailing list for general employment issues since adequate forums for that already exist elsewhere." I understand that this will be a small inconvenience for those trying to post legitimate messages announcing positions available or wanted. I will try to mitigate this by checking for held messages several times per day (vs. the once/day that I usually do). I believe that the moderation status will be a net advantage for the vast bulk of those who try to use the list as it was intended. As for those who try to abuse it, optimizing the behavior of the list for them is not a requirement as far as I'm concerned. Summarizing the above in case there is any confusion: What part of "Take the discussion elsewhere" did you not understand? I look forward to being able to approve several on-topic messages, especially those offering FreeBSD-related positions for hire. Peace, david (current hat: postmaster@freebsd.org) -- David H. Wolfskill dhw@freebsd.org Note that replies are directed to postmaster@. If you have a problem with the above, take it to postmaster@ or appeal to core@.

Ideally they would: 1) Able to code well in C on FreeBSD. 2) Be able to manage CVS and maintain vendor branches and patches. 3) Customize FreeBSD ports/packages 4) Compile OpenOffice.org 5) Have a Mac. These jobs will probably pay around $250 USD each and some will be more work than others. There aren't that many of them, so don't expect to feed your family from what you would earn here. Basically I'm looking for some part time contract developer help from someone who is BSD friendly and willing to work cheap. ;-) 1.800.407.5170 Chris Coleman Editor in Chief Daemon News http://www.daemonnews.org BSD Mall http://www.bsdmall.com Print Magazine http://magazine.daemonnews.org From owner-freebsd-jobs@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Aug 5 22:56:58 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-jobs@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EDF8816A4CE for ; Thu, 5 Aug 2004 22:56:58 +0000 (GMT) Received: from smtp-out-2001.amazon.com (smtp-out-2001.amazon.com [207.171.160.37]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ADB3743D2F for ; Thu, 5 Aug 2004 22:56:58 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from bilodeau@amazon.com) Received: from smtp-in-2001.iad2.amazon.com by smtp-out-2001.amazon.com with ESMTP (peer crosscheck: smtp-in-2001.iad2.amazon.com) X-Amazon-Corporate-Relay: smtp-out-2001.iad2.amazon.com X-AMAZON-TRACK: Received: from ex-mail-sea-01.ant.amazon.com by smtp-in-2001.iad2.amazon.com with ESMTP (crosscheck: ex-mail-sea-01.ant.amazon.com [10.16.189.50]) id i75MumFq032652 for ; Thu, 5 Aug 2004 22:56:58 GMT Received: from US-SEA-274502 ([10.21.13.143]) by ex-mail-sea-01.ant.amazon.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.6713); Thu, 5 Aug 2004 15:55:45 -0700 Date: Thu, 5 Aug 2004 15:55:44 -0700 From: John Bilodeau To: Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Organization: Amazon.com X-Mailer: GoldMine [6.50.31113] Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-OriginalArrivalTime: 05 Aug 2004 22:55:45.0014 (UTC) FILETIME=[573F5160:01C47B3F] X-Mailman-Approved-At: Thu, 05 Aug 2004 23:14:40 +0000 Subject: OOP cutting edge - Amazon Web Services - Freebsd or Unix or Linux X-BeenThere: freebsd-jobs@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Jobs offered and sought List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 05 Aug 2004 22:56:59 -0000 Did you know that Amazon.com is a leading developer of Web Services?
