1/6 Entry-level NOC jobs at http://Shopping.com. They're pretty low level, but but if you're good, you'll advance fast. Mail casey@shopping.com -ccook \_ Looks like we have some openings for more senior SysAdmin types as well if you're interested. -ccook \_ For those who don't know a NOC is the Network Operations Center. NOC people generally sit around and watch pretty lights, reboot machines and type what they're told. If they do it right they can eventually get a job where they can make a decision. NOC is pure entry level stuff (as the op says). Usually these are shift jobs and the new guy gets the night shift. \_ This is fundamentally correct, but 1. you won't necessarily get the night shift (it's a new NOC) and 2. We're (mostly me) attempting to get smarter people than a typical NOC would have and going to give them more interesting work on the side if we feel they're capable...it's definitely still very entry-level though. Thanks. -ccook \_ btw, I wasn't trying to be an asshole. just explaining what the typical NOC job is to the entry level folks. sorry if I came off that way. it wasn't intentional. \_ don't NOC night-shifters just end up playing Counter-Strike, or is that just a false rumor? \_ the day shifters do at the ISP one of my client companies has their hosted machines. \_ Just read http://www.userfriendly.org to see what Noc guys do. Mostly Quake and nethack according to them. \_ I have 2 Indian friends who will work for the price of 1 American, but the catch is that they need a company to sponsor them for H1B greecard. Can your company do that? |

www.userfriendly.org Do you have a tech support story that you think others would wince at? All the spiffs are going out today, except for seven envelopes because we have no mailing addresses! Would the following people be so kind as to drop us a line at biz AT userfriendly DOT org with where you'd like us to mail your goodies? Also, please give us your account name on UF so we can verify: Nerdnet Webhosting, Richard Berry, Mike Schlueter, Kimbly Francisco, Peter Kristolaitis, Stuart Yarus, Mary Branson. We also have two runners-up, Frogster and Pavel Milikov, both of whom flaunted their wit and merciless nagging skills! Would the above three folks be so kind as to drop me a line (check under Contact Us on the lefthand nav bar) with their snail addies so I can send off their goodies? The winning entries will be featured during the next UF Sponsorship drive in June and July of this year. Thank you to everyone who entered, and keep your eyes peeled here for the next UF Contest! The Smiling Man and I were up until 2:00am yesterday packaging spiffs and labelling envelopes, and we're just about done. Everything is going to the post office on Friday, April 16th, which means on the outside (if you're not in North America) you should see your stuff show up by the first week of May. Once they arrive, I'll have the packages done up and we'll be mailing them out ASAP. I promise to let you all know when they get to the post office. NAG STRIP CONTEST RESULTS A-COMIN':I received in the neighbourhood of sixty or so entries for the nag strip contest, which isn't too bad given the nature of the task. I'll be naming the winners sometime in the next week or ten days, and to them go some Spiffy Prizes! Also, you'll get to see the winning nag strip and the two runners-up during the next sponsorship drive in May or June. This week, you all chose the parody site 39 SlashNOT as your fav pick of the week. Junior Linkographer Got a site to nominate for Link of the Day?
