How about Unemployment?

Post #121,492 by orion 10/16/03 3:40:12 PM Reply	How about Unemployment? Usually the local Unemployment office will let you post a job on their computer system so the people applying for Unemployment will search for it. Since there is a lot of IT people out of work, that just may get you a large amount of applicants. Another way is the Web Job Search Engines like Hotjobs.com, Monster.com, etc. Usually the technically savvy search those for job listings. If you do these two things, you will get a whole lot of technical applicants. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*

I think any unemployed IWETHEYers with job skills remotely resembling the ones you possibly want (Java, some scripting experience, C++...) are probably deciding whether they are willing to live in Detroit, and if they are, are sending you your resume... ;-) Cheers, Ben "good ideas and bad code build communities, the other three combinations do not" - [link\|http://archives.real-time.com/pipermail/cocoon-devel/2000-October/003023.html\|Stefano Mazzocchi]

I look out the window and see trees. :-) We're in Rochester Hills, just north of [link\|http://www.ci.rochester.mi.us/\|Rochester]... Rochester is a little town of about 7,000 people; Rochester Hills is 32 sq/mi with 60K people. We're surrounded by parks, farms, cider mills, and housing developments.

Post #121,653 by admin 10/17/03 11:05:00 AM Reply	It isn't Detroit! :-P Gahhhhh. :-D ASP experience not required, and yes, we're looking at Struts pretty seriously. One of our major clients uses it, which makes selling it internally there much easier. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

Post #121,662 by admin 10/17/03 11:22:52 AM Reply	That's what clothes are for. There is usually a week or so of 0F degree weather. Most of January/February is 20-32F. , and I very rarely have to shovel the driveway. The bonus comes in Spring and Fall when we have beautiful 60F weather for months at a time. Last week it was in the high 70s to 80s. This summer the temp was 70-85F, with one week of 90F weather. Imagine that... real weather, as opposed to mind-numbing sameness. ;-) Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
