i read this job listing in some tech forums,
its kinda funny, but shows the attitude of de enterprise !!
these are few specifiactions for IT n NON IT Requirement.
We expect people who want to work with us to have the following basic
technical skills and experience:
- Basic knowledge of networking, Internet and Internet protocols (since
our workflow depends on having strong fundamentals viz the Internet)
- Strong Problem identification skills.
- Ability to read and grasp a specification document written in PLAIN
English and a little jargon.
- Break down complex problems into reducible sub-problems that can be
worked on independently
- Identify bottlenecks and research the most efficient
workarounds/re-engineering.
- Must be able to adapt quickly to new technologies and frameworks as
the company technology strategy evolves over time, to compete with
Global players in the WebApps industry.
- And MOST importantly, Must be able to use
Google/[insertFavouriteSearchEngine HERE] , to read and understand
documentation and examples online to better understand and grok the
technology we use. We almost exclusively use Mature Open Source
projects/Frameworks for all our development needs.
- Notice, that we do not explicitly ask for LAMP/other web stack
experience. Experience is always a plus; we believe firmly that a
candidate with the right attitude and a nimble mind, can be trained and
indoctrinated to work better and excel; than a coder who is set in
his/her stubborn, lazy ways.
- And lastly, if you have any technical certifications/degrees from an
accredited institution/university, feel free to bring them along; But,
degrees will only get you so far in your career. Your skills and
attitude will print your paycheques in our shop!!
Non-technical Expectations
Though our work requires a lot of excellent and hands-on technical
knowledge, that is not all that is needed to function in these roles. We
look at a LOT of other things when meeting potential colleagues and a
lot of times these non-technical considerations seriously out-weigh
technical ones:
- Excellent email & communication skills,
- An insatiable thirst for knowledge and the desire to do more wicked
things with just a browser and server-side Magic.
- Ability to work over the Internet and using Internet / web-based
workflows and applications
- Awareness of free and open source software development methods
- A desire to develop products fit for REAL people, not some imaginary
constructs of the developer's mind.
- We place a high emphasis on Productivity and performance measurement.
Needless, to say, we firmly believe that salary incentives/bonuses are
an excellent way to motivate staff to work smarter, and most importantly
enjoy your work. Talk about having your cake and eating it too!!
- Only passionate people with a zest for life and its infinite
possibilities need apply. Negative attitudes are contagious.
- Anyone who reads technology journals for leisure/in_the_bathroom is
probably our ideal candidate. Once again, Passion is King here.
PS : i DIDN apply for this !! ;)
