[AusNOG] FW: Looking for employees? Melbourne based

[Tom Storey]

I *kind* of agree with Gus ...

I mean, "in the old days" you used to go door to door knocking with your
resume in hand. You didn't stick a sign up in the town square saying "I
need a job, hire me" and expect the employers to come knocking. That would
have been considered lazy and you probably wouldn't get a job as a result.

>From the posts on this list you have a good spread of carriers, hosts,
solution providers etc, so, grab the domain names from peoples emails,
visit those web sites, and check out their employment section and/or send
them your resume. Thats got to be about the modern equivalent of door
knocking.

Short of it being considered spam (depending on the individual), you might
also email those people and ask them if they can refer you on to HR.

At least it looks like you're at least putting some effort in to trying to
get a job, rather than sitting back and waiting (which might also be an
indicator of your work ethic). Thats just my POV. :-)

I think the key difference is that there is already a well established
system for job seekers (agencies, websites, etc), so the occasional, very
industry specific job ad posted here is much more "tolerable" than job
seekers using it as a means to reach recruiters.

But either way, I'll leave it to the mods to decide whether its in the
spirit of an operations list.
