IT Go-To Guy Looking For Somewhere To Go (Ballard, Seattle, WA) 8 hours 43 minutes agoIve just relocated to Seattle, have easy access to public transportation (but no car), and am looking for work in IT. Ive just left a job in the banking field (and Id prefer not to go back into finance).
I learn fast, get things done, know how to troubleshoot all sorts of issues. We were just moving to Win2K8 Server, so most of what I know for server troubleshooting was 2000/2K3. I would prefer no call-center support work, but wont refuse.
During my last position, I also wrote and edited internal technical manuals to insure proper COB/proceess documentation was in place.
Resume and references available on request. Source: MeFi Jobs  - [Read more] |

interest in functional programming. OCaml, a statically typed
functional programming with similarities to Haskell, Erlang, F# and

involved in many different areas of the business. Compensation is
highly competitive, and theres a lot of room for growth.

at CMU about why Jane Street uses functional programming
(http://ocaml.janestreet.com/?q=node/61), our programming blog

A Secretary with extra duties in events planning or writing in New York City. (Brooklyn, ny) 12 hours 58 minutes agoFor the past ten-plus years, Ive been that ubiquitous creature in New York -- a theater person with a day job. But -- Ive not been a actress. However - what I have done could serve very well as "training" for other duties called for in the corporate world:
1. Im a stage manager, which I have once described to someone as "kind of like a secretary only I work with sillier objects." Stage managers facilitate all the different aspects of a production have to produce things and lead a team to produce things on a set schedule. We also oversee each performance of a show, overseeing -- or doing -- the setup, performance, and after-show cleanup, coordinating with stagehands, ushers, actors, and audience. We also are responsible for trouble-shooting and problem-solving on the fly. We also have some technical expertise, from running lights or sound equipment.
2. Im also a literary manager, which calls for a lot of writing, reading, editing, and proofreading.
3. Finally, I have a regular writing gig, writing short articles for a theater company in Pennsylvania, one Ive held for the past seven years.
As for the secretarial experience -- I have that in spades. I have worked in media, television, finance, law, education, nonprofits, and finance, and have done so for over twelve years. The television position also called for me to do web content writing, sales, and program proposal writing. I am an expert at all MS Office programs, and know some basic HTML and Quark.
I dont so much have a preference for what field I work in, so much as Id love to find a secretarial position SOMEWHERE that will let me combine all of these disparate elements into a single job -- either a secretarial job who does a hell of a lot of writing, or a special events assistant who types and files and, oh yeah, is on the team for planning out the big corporate event but does more for the team aside from JUST type and file (i.e., "come up with the plan for scheduling when we bring in the food" or "meet with the designers in the function hall and work out how long itll take them to hang the decorations", etc).
Basically, Ive been a temp for twelve years and would like to not be a temp anymore, and the things that I did when I wasnt temping would make me a unique candidate for someone somewhere. Source: MeFi Jobs  - [Read more] |
Please get this creative guy out of spreadsheet central. (Richmond, VA) 16 hours 6 minutes agoBusiness Process Management is not for me. Writing and editing are for me. Ive been working in web content management for intranet and internet sites for three years now, and Im surrounded by spreadsheets and whiteboards. Id like to get back into a more creative line of work. Im a former newspaper and magazine writer and editor who now knows his way around a few content management systems, but I dont want to sit around creating tiny page components and deploying workflows all day.
