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.
