New job hunt.

 Job title: IT Specialist. 

That's your first "clue" they are wanting a "jack of all IT trades" for two industrial facilities. This is a large multinational company. 

 they want:

First and Second level technical support.

Network administration. 

End user services duties. 

VOIP, CCTV, Physical access,

IT support for industrial and lab equipment. 

 Bachelors and 3+ years experience wanted. And CCNA/CCNP, MCSA/MCSE, certs.

Must be flexible to support 2nd and 3rd shift operations.  

 

I'm sure they are trying to replace numerous people with one probably overworked and underpaid person. 

That's three or four different IT specialties. It's like trying to hire a neurosurgeon/podiatrist/virologist. Oh and probably paying like your fresh out of medschool. 

Reason $integer +1 why we can't have nice things.  

 

New job hunt.

Old cubeville is no more. Searching for new cubeville.

I'm going to share the absolute DERP that is job postings nowadays. Sarcasm is italicized. 

 BAD:

Service Desk Analyst I

First hint there NOT an "Analyst", just ENTRY level external help desk. 

ITIL everywhere! ( Information Technology Infrastructure Library)

A best practices framework for IT. Almost definitely this is a Managed Service Provider. I.E. outsourced 3rd party IT I'm going to bet the overuse of ITIL is their HR drone trying to speak IT and failing. Perhaps overuse of cut and paste from the company's sales materials. 

Management 

Really? ASSET management? TICKET management? This is for entry entry level IT. 

PMI certification wanted. 

Project Management Institute certification for entry level help desk? HR drone on something not prescribed by a real doctor??? 

OH! they offer project managers as a MSP. HR being sloppy.

 Not BAD:

 Pay rate was posted and is realistic for entry level help/service desk I

HS Diploma needed. Associates preferred. 

 

 

Bucke up!

On one hand the media will now be very interested in any wrongdoing by the executive branch. Judging by last time around they will condemn him for everything including getting an extra scoop of ice cream.
