Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2005 17:04:55 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2657.72) Content-Type: text/plain I saw your email listed on the pm.org site and was hoping you could let your PM group know about a position where they can learn perl on the job. I've attached a complete description below. Please let me know if you feel comfortable letting the group know of this opportunity. Regards, Todd todd cranston-cuebas tcc@ticketmaster.com ticketmaster (NASDAQ: IACI) 8800 sunset blvd . west hollywood, ca . 90069 voice 310-360-2436 . mobile: 310-422-3347 ---------------------DESCRIPTION--------------------- As many of you know, Ticketmaster is a big perl/mod_perl company. In fact, some of you may have read our job postings over the years. I want to point out that there are some important changes in our "ideal" candidate for our current openings. Ticketmaster has historically interviewed people based very much on their perl expertise and that makes sense given our rapid growth and our focus on perl. However, I have a number of new open positions for our core engineering team where proficiency in perl is **NOT** a requirement. Why bring this to the attention of a perl jobs list? To be totally honest, if you get a job here, you'll be coding in perl. It's what we do. In order for this to work, we do expect you to have a background in software development and object-oriented coding skills. We'd also expect that you would feel very comfortable in a linux/unix development world. The last and perhaps most important requirement is "spark!" We're searching out those people who have the unquenchable desire to absorb and learn. If you have this skill, you know it. You're the one who just naturally rises to the top. Come to Ticketmaster and we'll give you the environment where you can become an uber-geek of perldom if that's what you really want! [If you're already a perl wizard, well then "yeah!" of course I'd always like to talk with you too!] Ticketmaster has excellent benefits (Medical/Dental/Vision, 401K, FSA, etc.) and we foster a work hard/play hard attitude (in fact, I just got back from a company sponsored night at the King Tut exhibit!). We have new positions available for associate, mid, and senior-level engineers. Please contact me directly if you have any questions. Appended below is our "CANNED" or generic mid-level job description. Call for more details. NOTE: I will _not_ entertain calls or emails from recruiting agencies... it's the best way to get on my blacklist ;) Todd Cranston-Cuebas todd cranston-cuebas tcc@ticketmaster.com Ticketmaster (NASDAQ: IACI) 8800 sunset blvd, west hollywood, ca . 90069 voice 310-360-2436 -------------CANNED JOB DESCRIPTION------------- Develop core back-end technologies for a leader in open-source , high-volume, high-transaction web systems.
