At my company, the techies write job requirements that do not include college degrees, and the HR people tack them on to the job postings anyway. When it comes time to hire people, nobody cares about the degree. Do companies realize that they may be turning away perfectly good candidates by requiring degrees? 2-4 years QA experience. Bachelors in CS or equivilent. The or equivilent part is really the 2-4 years of QA experience. And honestly no person comming out of college with a CS has any idea how to do QA. I only wish I knew enough about QA, because otherwise I'd be perfect for the job (have this nasty knack for finding bugs) Anybody know why the build bar has not been updated since 6/7? I don't know, but here's a brief rundown on the current progress: m17 nightly builds have some major bugs and regressions, mostly DOCTYPE/layout related. m16 nightlies builds don't have this, and are pretty good. <:3)~~ Now that he works for Netscape, Asa's really gonna be crunched as much of the rest of them getting M16 good enough for PR2. Hopefully he'll get some time to update it soon. Go Asa! give me $30K/year, and some medical benifits, and I'll do it. I don't have everything they want, but I got most of it, and I'm on discount. check the resume at Http://resumes.dice.com/crutcher I'm even willing to relocate. THis is not a joke, but I think my chances are so slim I'll just leave this post here, and if anyone wants to get in contact, cool. |
