Just thought it couldn't hurt to give you guys a heads up, if your tech company is currently hiring (or will soon be) entry-level and intermediate technical writers/communications/marketing/copywriters or anything even remotely related I'd love to hear about it. Yes, I know that barely qualifies as "tech jobs," but I know a lot of you share a workplace with non-engineers. Salary doesn't really matter.

Thanks!

^ yeah, it's because there are people out there who still blur the lines, though.

To me, there's a difference between a web/frontend dev - someone who may build a non-trivial app using backbone.js and jquery for example, versus a web designer - someone who will take a photoshop file and turn it into structurally semantic block of code and provide UI-level behaviors. Sometimes you can get crossover between the two, but I think on the spectrum people will lean one way or the other.


As an aside, there's a group in my center who wanted to hire someone "design-minded" last year with HTML/CSS skills, but who was also a full on Java dev, familiar with Spring, Struts, and GWT, while also being fully-knowledgeable in SVG & Canvas. We told them good luck looking for their unicorn.

Yup. The guy is charging certain hospitals $125k/month and he's going to pay you minimum wage.

I'm wondering if there actually is some functionality here or if the whole thing is a facade. Since none of the pages beyond the pricing page work, I'm leaning toward the latter.

^^ what is your skillset and what does your resume look like? I haven't waited more than 2 weeks to hear back about an interview but I've never applied for anything entry level, which most recent grads target. I did my own thing before I ever applied to some place else. Apple, facebook, google, and amazon have fairly high wages for interns and you might start there rather than a traditional entry level.

Are they including cover letters in the email or attaching them to the email? Or both?

A lot of our applications are coming through Stack Overflow, so when these people apply their cover letter comes as an e-mail to us. That said, we do get some direct as e-mail as well. Cover letter is always separate.

One guy gave a list of interests that was everything except programming.

One guy just told us how he was interested in getting a full time programming job for a hobby while he really just wanted to be a doctor.

It's amazing.

I keep getting asked the same questions about the job I posted ^^^ so I'm going to answer them here for anyone to see.

That posting is for the entry-level positions, but we do have spots open for people with more experience or certifications. Your start pay is based on your certifications coming in and put you on a fast track through the training program.

There is the potential for a substantial amount of travel. 50-75% travel is not uncommon, depending on which sub-team you are placed into/choose. There's also a chance for temporary relocation for medium- to long-term on-site engagements (6 months to 3 years). Relocation would be 1-2 years out, after you've been sufficiently trained.

When you are not working on a customer project, you are being paid to work up to a CCIE. There's a lot of support and training opportunities if you are interested in becoming a networking expert.

My team is where the other teams in Advanced Services look first when they are recruiting. So there's a lot of opportunity to move around to other groups within the organization.

If you really like break/fix troubleshooting and want to be a master of a specific product, robster's job in TAC is perfect for that. If you want to be an expert in a broader subset of technologies and are interested in travel, PM me.

Also, we do have several internship positions available if you are still in school.

Just a reminder for any of you that work in companies that have non-technical staff for editing, content, writing, et cetera. Technical writing is what I'm especially looking for. Currently do a lot of freelance book and manual editing for an RTP company but it's not full-time.

Quote :
"Just thought it couldn't hurt to give you guys a heads up, if your tech company is currently hiring (or will soon be) entry-level and intermediate technical writers/communications/marketing/copywriters or anything even remotely related I'd love to hear about it. Yes, I know that barely qualifies as "tech jobs," but I know a lot of you share a workplace with non-engineers. Salary doesn't really matter.

Thanks! "

Would you do part time/hourly?

We don't have a need right now, but may in the future and wouldn't need full time.
