Here is a restaurant wanting to employ part-timers. Fair enough to list “cheerful” and “keen to work” as requirements. But “young”?

What is wrong with a middle aged or senior person, as long as they are suitably qualified for the job, working in a restaurant?

I’m curious, too, what is the definition of “young”? (Haha, as I grow older, I tend to think the age range for “young” stretches longer and longer…)

We’re still looking to hire more staff to support our Network, Data Centre and IT Security operations.

Our priority for this position is in Network, Data Centre and IT Security operations, in decreasing order. Let me know if you’re interested.

What are the perks of this job? Well, you’ll get lots and lots of learning opportunities in a relaxed and friendly working environment. We do run state-of-the-art network infrastructure and data centre facilities, so it is not like you’re stuck with some yester-year’s technologies.

Why Super Engineers? Well, the term Systems Engineers is often abbreviated as SE. But SE can also mean many things: Sales Engineer, Software Engineer, Security Engineer, Support Engineer, Service Engineer, etc. And I learned from an IBMer many years ago, who was tasked to shift office (and thus earned the title Shifting Engineer), SE might as well mean Super Engineer. SEs do everything!

And honestly, what we really need here are Super Engineers too. Our SEs crawl around to lay cables, carry heavy equipment, make UTP patch cords, get their hands dirty assembling and disassembling equipment, climb rooftops and investigate plumbing problems, climb over mountains (okay it’s just a hill…) to follow cable trenching works, etc. Yes, there are certainly some work hazards too. But remember the benefits? That’s where you get to learn! Where do you get to be involved in such varied work?

Our operating culture here is that we often build rather than buy. Hence, many systems and applications are built ourselves. We build on many open source technologies (e.g. LAMP) and program in Perl. We run lots of Cisco hardware, but we don’t really consider ourselves a Cisco shop… because we do continue to procure other brands of products. We run two data centres with state-of-the-art facilities monitoring and water cooling. And while traditionally many network teams cannot get along with security teams… well, we’re the same team, which means we get to run security efficiently and effectively too.

Alright, if all these sounds interesting to you, let me know. I’ll drop you a formal recruitment advert.
