Network Computer Inc. is seeking contract testers and regular employees
to test several internet applications. This includes a browser and other
(sorry I can't name them here) user applications. These are being
developed for use with a new type of machine, based on the ARM 7500 risc
processor. For more details, see the blurb below and see www.nc.com.

I am particularly interested in finding the following types of people:

   *	Testing Toolsmith.

	There are lots of opportunities for using tools 
	to become more efficient. I want to work with 
	someone who has successfully developed some of
	these solutions in previous projects, and who
	has developed enough judgment that she or he
	can guide us in what we need to build / buy 
	first, why, and how to use it. UNIX-based
	programming / testing experience is required.

   *	Mid-level or Senior Black Box Tester

	Supervisory or project management experience
	is desirable. Experience testing applications
	that consumers will buy and use is an essential, 
	non-negotiable requirement. The ideal candidate
	has at least five years of testing experience, 
	at least two projects worth of test planning
	experience, a degree in computing, human factors, 
	or related area, experience with java and html, 
	and skill in using a project management tool
	such as TimeLine or Microsoft Project. These
	requirements are flexible -- we are looking
	for leadership and talent in testing net-based
	consumer applications.

   *	Junior Testers

	Experience writing html-based documents is very
	desirable. Testing experience is very desirable
	but we will seriously consider html-knowledgeable
	applicants who have other types of experience in
	computer or software companies, such as technical
	support, technical writing, or administrative
	support. Recent graduates with degrees in computing
	or human factors, who can demonstrate solid knowledge
	of the web and some knowledge of html will also be
	considered. 
	
Some of the comp.software.testing readers of this note will have met me
or read some of my postings. If it's of interest to you, I'm a technical
and process consultant here. This recruiting is a minor part of my work.
I know the VP Product Development here very well, trust him, and respect
him highly. And this company is playing a lead role in pushing a new
wave of hardware and software development. This is an interesting
opportunity, well worth checking out.
