APM: Fw: [ctl-ctlug] Google seeking linux experts

[Christopher Baker]

NOTE: Normally, I have not forwarded non-local want ads. But I do know
some who dream of working for Google. This was also sent by an actual
Google recruiter, who is apparently subscribing to mailing lists, such
as the CTLUG list.

Hello.  My name is Marianne Dove.  I'm a recruiter for Google.  Google is
currently seeking several Unix/Linux experts for a couple of positions in
Mountain View, California or Dublin, Ireland.  I was wondering if it would
be possible for you to post this information or let your members know about
this opportunity.    If so, I've pasted the 2 job descriptions below.  

If it's not possible, I understand.  I don't mean to crowd your technical
list with a job posting, but this is such a great opportunity, and Google is
seeking the very best Engineers from around the world and I feel there must
be dozens of linux experts out there.  I'm hoping I can find some of them on
your list via my posting.  Thank you for your consideration and time.

Sincerely,

Marianne Dove
Google Recruiter
Mountain View, California
