Hello, does anyone know of companies in the Worcester area looking for people with programming/web/*NIX skills, or of a good place to find consulting type jobs? As in making a webpage, seting up servers, etc for somebody. I'm looking for something to put my knowledge to. Thanks, Orbitz

Similarly, does anyone know of a suitable type of job for a person that loves making Debian packages and generally tweaking things, but not actually writing code? Someone described me the other day as an "ad-hoc specialist," in that I don't specialise in anything, but I tend to learn what I need to do the job I need (or want) to do. How would I put that on a resume? I'm not looking for something to put my knowledge to. I'm looking to gain more self-taught knowledge. Something I've failed to learn is how to find a good job. -- Aaron Haviland orion [at] tribble [dot] dyndns [dot] org orion [at] parsed [dot] net I previously had a sig here, but it went through the dishwasher.
Unfortunately there isn't much UNIX related jobs in the Worcester area. I've been working with UNIX since the early '90s and have always had to travel at least a half-hour to work. I think the future is bright though. More companies are moving out *towards* Worcester from Boston. And because the City recently changed the tax structure to be a little more business-friendly and the Little Dig making the city more accessable, there will likely be more companies moving offices in and around the city in the next couple of years. Of that doesn't help you now. Be prepared to commute. :-( -- Gary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doctor Orbitz" <orbitz@firest0rm.org> To: <wlug@wlug.org> Sent: Monday, July 23, 2001 5:03 PM Subject: [Wlug] Jobs

I found the same thing. I currently have a linux job, but I have to commute an hour. Luckily I love my job, and I work at home two days a week. They aren't that hard to find, I had two linux job offers 3 months ago (and I think the economy is better now?). I found them in Boston papers. -Marc On 25 Jul 2001 06:55:55 -0400, Gary J.
