Why is it when I update my resume, and all of the recruiting-firm-vultures start circling, do google searches for "gregory morris oldsmar", etc., increase exponentially? I know you are out there googling to dig up more about me. It isn't a secret.
So you found me. Yes, that's my resume you are looking at. Yes I'm a gun nut. Yes, I'm a libertarian. No I don't care much for the government. But I do love my country. So take all of that how you will.
Next. No, I don't want to work a four-and-a-half-month contract in Oregon. I have a wife, a house, and a dog. I'm not moving across the country for your damn short-term contracts, I don't care how much they pay. You could have called me 6 or 7 years ago... I might have been interested then.
Next. No, I don't want to work for Bubba's IT Sub-contracting Shop. I want to work directly for a company that either gives a damn about me, or pays me enough that it doesn't matter. That means a big company, or a really awesome small company. Not a staffing firm. If your company doesn't actually offer a real product, chances are I am gonna tell you to take a hike.
Next. Contract-to-hire is just another term for "will I have a job in 12 months?" I require more stability than that. So does my wife. Offer me a full-time job, or don't call.
Next. I don't wanna work anywhere that is buried under 10 feet of snow all winter.
Finally. Don't call me about jobs in California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, or any other socialist stronghold. I'm not moving somewhere for a job where the Second Amendment is considered a privilege. I'm also not all that fond of being taxed into oblivion. Frankly, it doesn't get much better than Florida.
If you are still reading at this point, then I might be interested in talking to you. |
