I work for one of America's largest insurance companies, headquartered
in Chevy Chase, Maryland, on the border with the District of
Columbia.  I'd worked for 12 years as a contract network engineer,
until applying for a fulltime position with this company.  The 26 acre
campus is a five minute walk from the metrorail, and there's plenty of
very nice housing and shopping here, including Lord & Taylor,
Tiffany's, Saks-Jandel, Hecht's, Nieman-Marcus and others.

Though Silicon Valley has more high-tech companies than anywhere in
the country, we recently found out that the Washington, D.C.
metropolitan area has more high-tech jobs than any other area of the
country.

Montgomery County is the 8th-wealthiest county in the country, with a
median salary close to $90,000.  Snob appeal isn't important, but good
services, like schools and transportation are important, I think.

This company treats its employees well.  Many employees have
recommended this company to their friends, and many have suggested
their spouses apply.  We have a mini-gym, onsite cafeteria hosted by
Sodexho Marriott, dining room with room for 300, library, and both
outdoor and underground parking options.  Vanpools and metrorail use
are encouraged, and both hold advantages for associates who choose to
use those options.

Other benefits include 401(k), profit-sharing, excellent pension plan,
dental, optical, and medical coverage, as well as the usual life,
AD&D, and LTD insurance options.  We also have our own federal credit
union.

When someone calls for a quote, or to buy a policy, sales associates
are on the phone with the customer using an application written by our
company which runs on a server running OS/2.  There are hundreds of
these servers nationwide.  I anticipate there may be a need on our
team in the not-too-distant future for a person experienced in
installing, configuring, and maintaining OS/2 Warp Connect, OS/2 Warp
4 Server Advanced SMP, and OS/2 Warp Server for eBusiness on a variety
of hardware platforms, including IBM and Compaq.  This person should
feel comfortable writing, commenting, and maintaining REXX code.  A
firm (though not necessarily deep) understanding of TCP/IP utilities
would be helpful.  The successful candidate will have a good overall
foundation in networking and in RAID level advantages and
disadvantages.  Ability to work with minimal supervision, including
researching BIOS and firmware updates, detailed hardware compatibility
issues, and fixpak levels is a plus.

The successful candidate will submit to me through email a text (text
only, please) resume which includes at a minimum the following
highlighted sections:  Objective, Availability, Certifications,
Education, Military Service, Training, and chronological (most recent
first) Employment History, salary expectation.

I expect we'd be filling this within a few months.
