[chiPHPug-discuss] My company and PHP...

[mike <mi...@pa...>]

Howdy,

I've been lurking around this board because I have not been able to post due to a problem on my side.  The commentary about the job market has caused me to prioritize fixing the problem so here is my message.  I asked Richard to post an opportunity from my company a few weeks ago and he was kind enough to do so.  Not sure if anyone applied, but the guy who built the job description seemed to be asking quite a bit.  Here is the skinny, we are looking for a really good PHP'er to help lead development and retraining of our legacy staff.  But, since we are a tad shorthanded, we would like that person to have some other skills.  The final job could end up like 80% PHP and possibly 20 % Java.  Or, vice-versa, if that is the preference.

We are a business and the demands of the organization come before religion about platform, technology or language.  But, folks who have a preference will be slotted with a work load that favors that preference.  It is one of the better business environments I have worked in, but not immune from corporate or political stupidity.  That's why I consulted here for 4 years and have been an FTE for the last 5!

Please drop me a line if this interests you or you know someone who might be interested.  I have, almost single handedly, brought PHP to our System i platform here at Trippe.  I would like to see it succeed and flourish.  I am not an expert, but I am a believer.  This could be a really neat opportunity for the right person.  And yes, we do pay competitive salaries.  I can't write it here but let's say it can be well over 50K and very commensurate with experience!

Thank you for your time.  I would probably come to a meeting but I live most of my life on the South side, working in Bridgeport and living near Joliet.  You sound like a good bunch of folks who has it together and I may just surprise a few of you and show up.  I would make liberal use of the newbie sessions :-)

Regards,


Mike Pavlak
