Simple Die & Fixture Designer needed

I hope this is not the wrong place to this, please forgive/redirect me
if so.

I need to find a subcontract Fixture and Die Designer fluent in Pro/E
in Southern GA.

This is an excellent entry level position, some experience with
fixtures and dies would be required. I would like to get a feel for
the talent and interest available for this job. I am not a recruiter,
and we do not pay recruiters.

I want to know if we can feel this position with local talent.

 

post the job at

http://www.pejn.com

 

That is certainly a professional and goodhearted suggestion. I worry only that I
have gotten quality interviews out of that site because companies who are serious
about recruiting talented, competent Pro/ENGINEERS use this site to find help. I
wouldn't want to cheapen it or cheese it up. The guy you're sending there seems of
that calibre and category: no company name, no pay rate, sub-contracted (but "NO
RECRUITERS"!?!), "entry level" always rings the extra cheese, "special" sauce
bell. Sorry, doesn't sound like a job that belongs on pejn.com though maybe on
mcad central:

Oh, yeah, and he wants to "feel (sic) this position with local talent" (Southern
Georgia) so he comes to an international center!?! How about an ad in the Valdosta
Daily Times or post the ad on a bulletin board of Valdosta State College or
Valdosta Tech. Come to think of it, even mcad central is overreaching.

 

David,

Pejn.. well if the ad reads like it did here then they won't put it up
on the site.

If it's a serious offer then it will have to be stated in such a
manner.

 

Ya gotta admit, it's hard to state an entry level job where it's kind of optional
to know anything about dies and fixtures, located in Southern Georgia for an
unknown employer where the advertizer is looking for 'local talent'
internationally "in such a serious manner". This is the serious manner of a
fishing party (free booze provided with the complimentary video poker). Hey, I
design dies and fixtures! Can I join the party!?! (Ooops, I guess I'm not entry
level or local talent or knowledge of dies and fixtures optional or
CHEAP!!CHEAP!!!!CHEAP!!!!CHEAP!!CHEAP!!)

 

What leapt out at me was 'fluent' and 'entry level'

Are those not contradictory requirements?

I think there was a Dilbert cartoon on that subject a few years ago, in
which 'the company' announced their policy of only hiring people at the
top of their field, whilst paying industry average wages (sound
familiar?) - One can only assume this fellow isn't really up to speed
with his Scott Adams, which really is his loss.

 

Such ironies, IMHO, serve only to rub the novice's nose in the fact that s/he is a
NOVICE, thus, ought to be grateful for any consideration (including pay)
whatsoever. We always screemed at the injustice/stupidity of REQUIRING "a minimum
of 2 years experience" for entry level jobs. "Where do we get the experience if no
one will hire us without it!?!" we cried, searching the heavens for an answer.
Turns out, they hired us anyway, just let us know that we weren't really good
enough and had to work twice as hard, at half pay, to "earn our spurs" and be
grateful (effusively so) for the opportunity. Medievalism and the guild mentality
(apprentice/journeyman/master) never died. It just wormed and weaselled its way
into capitalism.

The abscence of an appreciation for the ironies in self-contradictory requirements
is probably the most 'charming' side of such block heads. Other than that, they're
idiot savants who know business and making a buck and nothing else.
