[snip laundry list of skills] That requirements list, sadly, looks legit for a medium sized enterprise VoIP deployment with outsourcing of some stuff to offshore teams. It's the "3-4 months, contract" thing that raises my alarm bell. Unless the existing setup is really nice and your sole role would be to ninja some new features, it'd take that long just to understand where all of the major pain points were that need fixing while doing the (expected, but not explicitly stated) operational firefighting to keep things afloat. This is one of my personal pet-peeves about job postings. More often than not they include a detailed description of what the employer wants you to be, but no description of what the employer wants you to do. -n -- ------------------------------------------- nathan hruby <nhr...@gmail.com> metaphysically wrinkle-free ------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
