Message-ID: Long time since I've been in bath (nearly a year). But I am looking at the area again and have applied for a position at 'a growing dynamic web development company in bath, avon'. After waiting a week or a response (given I had all the skills they asked for) I still haven't heard a thing from the sharks^recruiters about it. I was wondering are there actually any jobs in bristol and bath hacking perl or are they all just way to make you register for the website (*cough*sift*cough*) or harvest CV's for recruiters ?

I think we can make a fair guess as to who this is from the phrasing of the advert! > I was wondering are there actually any jobs in bristol and bath hacking > perl or are they all just way to make you register for the website > (*cough*sift*cough*) or harvest CV's for recruiters ? No. Go home. Actually, ask someone else, I'm biased, I've been here too long. I didn't even think there were any tech recruitment agencies left in Bath. It's touristville or academicville, depending what you do.

I'm guessing Future Publishing but they are neither young or dynamic or growing. Netcraft certainly aren't web development and aren't young either.

I'm only looking at bath because cornwall is now as expensive as Bath to live but without the decent pay, transport, shops or amenities. regards, A. -- Aaron J Trevena - Perl Hacker, Kung Fu Geek, Internet Consultant AutoDia --- Automatic UML and HTML Specifications from Perl, C++ and Any Datasource with a Handler. http://droogs.org/autodia From richard.smedley at futurenet.co.uk Thu Nov 14 05:32:46 2002 From: richard.smedley at futurenet.co.uk (Richard Smedley) Date: Wed Aug 4 23:57:54 2004 Subject: Anyone know of a growing web company in bath ?

We do have a vacancy for my job when I leave - but you'd have to be mad to want to do it :-/ (though at least it doesn't involve much Perl :-P ) > but they are neither young or dynamic granted... ;) > or > growing. Well, we are growing again, it seems. The company actually seems to be doing quite well :) > Netcraft certainly aren't web development and aren't young > either.

Netcraft certainly aren't web development and aren't young > either. Is there anyone else near bath that uses perl? No, it stinks of Open World. It's their standard phrasing. They always ask for Perl, even though at last check they don't use it for anything much more than sysadmin monkeying and don't have an in house programming team. Don't work for them.

Message-ID: <1038218272.1186.38.camel@dhcs.demon.co.uk> Hi all, My "home-office" has got a little out of control and taken over a fair chunk of the dining room. I'm looking at the possibility of blagging some cheap broadband-enabled space in Bath for a while. I'll need to park two computers and possibly a second occasional body and a laptop. Any thoughts?
