"Involved with Anthrocon? Want a job?"

[giza]

 
I occasionally get emails from recruiters who find my resume online. But never before had I gotten one that mentioned Anthrocon...

Hello Doug,

I was up on Linked In looking for
Engineers who think outside of the
box and came across you and Brian
Harris and your work with Anthrocon.

Neat stuff !

[job details snipped...]

What was also interesting is that rather than say, "I have some opportunities available", the recruiter went into detail regarding 3 specific startups, including their finances and profit figures.

Definitely not the sort of thing you see every day...

[Edit: No, I did not take them up on their offer, nor am I looking for work. I'm happy where I am.]

Who is Brian Harris

[shockwave77598.livejournal.com]

Well, honestly, organizing a con DOES takes serious management skills.

Sweet

Here's a hint. (https://www.anthrocon.org/about)

[antimon.livejournal.com]

Oh that guy :) I knew it sounded familiar.

Kage isn't part of the board? interesting

Hmm, I guess Anthrocon is famous now. Guinness records and everything

[giza.livejournal.com]

No, he's on the board.

"It is overseen by a Board of Directors chaired by Dr. Samuel Conway..."

Having attended Anthrocon for several years, now, I have no problem counting what the staff does as 'work.'

O RLY?

Congrats! Here's hoping it works out well!

[starbiter.livejournal.com]

Nice! Now make sure they offer Brian a job, too. :)

I take it you're not going for them, then?

[giza.livejournal.com]

Nope, I'm happy where I am.

401(k) + Profit sharing + generous vacations + public transportation accessibility == WIN

And the unlimited porn has nothing to do with it?

[giza.livejournal.com]

Ah... no.

Hey, I didn't realize you had a LinkedIn profile. I have one too, and I added you, and sent you a email with my LJ name just in case you had trouble matching the LJ name with my real name.

I need to add my resume to that site (I haven't done that yet), and I will do that when I get home from MFF *wags*
