Recruitment Agencies?

Right, it appears I can't retire yet, **** it.

So, what agencies would a chap talk to in the London / North Herts area?

Skills in the legacy-integration / pre-sales type area mostly.

Are there *any* non-shysters out there?

go and talk to the Catholics.

I dunno, but it sounds like we do/did the same kind of thing. Good luck.

 

I know we're not hiring in huge numbers at the moment, but given what
you do, and that is't a niche skill I'd suggest emailing those people
you wrote the redbook with and asking them if they know of anything.
It's all a bit cliquey in legacy land, and who you know will probably
get you a lot further than agencies.

Enough of that - did you get my picture message of a bit of motorbike?

No. MMS seems to work only when it's in the mood on my phone.

Was it shiny?

if I were aware of any, I certainly wouldn't be passing on the
information.

 

Any knowledge of the IBM WebSphere software stack?

I refer the honourable gentleman to the "Authors" bit.

I really wouldn't have thought that we'd be competing for the same
roles. Unless it's in a couple of year's time and MacDonalds have a
recruitment drive.

I have some;

MQSeries (WebSphere MQ) v1.3 to v7.0
MQ/WS Message Broker (WSIMB)
WebSphere Process Server
WebSphere SOA
WebSpeher Application Server

What's on your mind?

 

I'd actually googled that up about an hour ago and sent it to my
technical director to ask if you'd be of any use to us.

 

Aren't you a contractory type? And I'm sure we've talked before
actually.

 

Oh and

Shit, forgot the mercenary bit... if anyone's interested, can you let
me know rather than email direct? Then I can get the recruitment
bonus

Thanks! I appreciate it.

the "Solutions Architect" role looks very similar to what I do, but
unfortunately the technical skill-set doesn't match :-/

 

At the moment I am a "sitting at home" type. But I can give you some
advice if it'd help.
