Dell

Hey people,

I've been reading the positions available at Dell; They were looking for someone with a storage background, testing and development; customer experience, etc.....

I thought since I had assisted in the design of an ASIC for Enterprise Storage, Certified as a SAN Technologist, installed and configured HBA's and firmware updates.... MAYBE I MIGHT BE QUALIFIED.

Not so my fellow Geeks.... I applied for several spots in Round Rock and Austin - not even a rejection letter. What the hell?? I know people in Dell and used their name as a reference - still no response. WTF.

First Tongue Lashing

LSI Logics; what a joke!

They want a person with SAS/SATA/SCSI/FC/iSCSI experience. Must be able to program C++, design boards, customer presentation and interface, travel 50+% and have a Masters degree.

All this for a customer support position..... Give me a freekin break.

They're advertising for positions weekly. The lame duck in CO Springs that does the interview process is too busy to review the resume that lands on his desk.

Sr. App Job Search

Hey Gang,

This intro is chronicling my job search.
As we tool along the highway of life, I'm going to mash and trash some of the companies I've applied for employment at.

Why would I do that, you may ask?! I'm bitter, I'm angry, I'm feeling discriminated against!

Sooo, I have a couple of reasons for doing this; You young guys out there, just starting your career, take it from an old dog, this may not be the dream job you think. For you old guys out there, hang on to whatever you're doing. The corporations are sucking in the new interns and recruits for your replacement at a cheaper pay rate. I'm sure the CEO's need a bigger bonus....

See ya soon.
