Ok, I have a bot on monster that searches for jobs. The two categories that I search for:
1. Perl
2. Ruby
If I could I'd say something like "Please Jesus, no jobs as a sysadmin for windows boxes or sysadmin in general" but sadly this option just isn't there.
However I got this email today with the following "job". My favourite line from this "Perl Job":
"Mid-level to Sr. Level JAVA (3+ years) development professionals need only apply."
Ok, seriously, on what planet did Java experience get equated with Perl experience? Oh I see:
"Professional working knowledge of internet protocols and techniques (Perl, HTML,
HTTP, TCP/IP)"
Perl is not an internet protocol or technique. It's a language. This copy doesn't induce me to apply, it makes me want to avoid the business both as a candidate and a customer. How technical can a business be if the people they are looking for wouldn't know what Perl is? The incredible irony is that it's a Tech Job Placement company.
