Does anyone know any good technical types for a project?
Posted on May 11, 2009 by peterh
I have a client with a project. they won’t tell me what it is (surprise, surprise), but have asked if I know of anyone out there that is looking for work, and has good technical IT skills.
anyone?
I have had several people approach me for help with sales positions and any scuttlebutt about the market, but this is the first tech request.
the typeboard team can give you my email address – certain they have it, if not, they will get a-hold of me for it.

What the hell encompasses “good technical IT skills”? It’s pretty broad!

Hi Peterh, I just passed on your message to all my techo friends.
What about the criteria for the job? at lest a few pointers
IT Management? Server Engineer? Server Engineer? Web Architect?
Any idea? thanks

Criteria too broad for informed response.

criteria is broad, but the general gist is for people looking for work in the IT Project arena, they are reading all cv’s sent and are looking for people either with or without IT certifications, just having some decent understanding of technology and implementation. all environments, all disciplines.

Of the engineers I know, none of them would be likely to respond to this ad. Most of them have an area of expertise, and very few would be willing to work outside this.
It sounds like a fishing expedition to me, and unfortunately all they’re likely to catch are people with very few skills. Broad but shallow is never a good thing in this industry.
Best of luck to them, they’ll need it.

Thinking a little more about this, and the fact that they won’t tell what the project is makes me think they’re ashamed of it, or think that no one would want to work on it if they knew what it was about.
Most companies are quite happy to go on and on (at length) about their brilliant idea, and want to show you how wonderful it all is, and why wouldn’t you want to be involved?
To continue the analogy from my last comment – it smells fishy

L,
most of the projects in secret squirrel land or dod are unnamed. They don’t want to reveal where it is, as it may compromise the project.
The client looking is very reputable. I have known them for a very long time…

True, true. But I’m sure that just listing an area of expertise wouldn’t hurt the project any. Or at least a job description.
I’m not saying they need to tell us all about it, but they’re only hurting their chances of getting the best person for the job by not even saying “we need a sysadmin with Java skills” or whatever.

The client is looking for technical resources for a project. The level of expertise is primarily in the software dev, or hardware support enviroments. I really don’t know what the complete requirement is, but they are searching for many people.
