Looking for a Neowinian to fill a job!

[hadiz]

Actually when I moved here and was interviewed for the job, that's exactly what I thought (that they pay was too low... a HUGE paycut from my last few jobs)... but then I talked to some people in the area and they told me to take it before it was snagged by someone else.  That this was good pay for the area.  Now, I knew I'd be moving from the beginning, but as I said, I'm sure there are others in the area that are working at McDonalds or something that wished they could get a job like this.  :yes:  Either way, if I don't find a Neowinian I'll have ads in the paper next week.  Just wanted all my pals here to have first grabs.  :happy:

That's true...I guess it depends on the cost of living in the area. I like jobs like the one you're looking to fill, where you have a supervisor, but they trust you and pretty much leave you alone. That's how my current one is.

:yes:

How old are you? I said 18 mainly because normally any younger and you'd be in school... but I'd take 17 or 16 if they weren't in school (and were qualified). :yes:

Yeah... Texas pay must be better, I was making 55K before I was 21, but then again, I am a database programmer...

Okay, so, as most of you know, I'm moving in 2 weeks, and my company (a law firm) will be without an IT guy. It's now up to me to find a replacement. So, here's the first basic requirements:

• 1. You must live in the Panama City, Florida area (or be willing to commute daily).
  
• 2. You must be over 18.
  
• 3. You must be able to work in the United States.
  

Okay, with that out of the way, if any of you are still with me, we'll continue.

The job will change from what I do now, so here is pretty much what you'll be expected to do:

• 1. Fix pretty much any non-network related computer issues that happen in the office.
  
• 2. Help maintain the Intranet if possible. ** Not that important **
  
• 3. Move systems around if needed, and help train employees if they need it.
  

There ya go. A lot of what I do is being spread out among others that already work here, but they'll need someone left to field all the non-critical computer issues.

So, I'll assume somebody is still with us... so I'll move on to the last part.

You will pretty much be answering only to one person besides the attorneys, which is the Office Manager. Normally she expects you to work on your own without much "managing", so to speak... but she likes to be kept in the loop via e-mail of any major things you plan on doing.

So, that's really it. You'd be the only IT person in the building, and you'd get the entire top floor of the building to yourself. It's not a bad job, and I wouldn't have left it if I wasn't moving to be with my MapleCookie.

:rolleyes: Shucks, 2 out of 3 ...

I live in Miami :(

Well, I only live an hour west of Panama City, but I couldn't afford that salary (or the commute).

Haven't looked too hard but wondering the average pay of computer techs in the lower 48. 10/hr is the average for my company(7 lowest, 17 highest) They don't pay position based though, my manager makes 10, I make 14 as senior tech. I have been there for 5 years though...

Holy moley. $8/hour is less tha ?4.50 (minimum wage in the UK for over 21s, rumored to be going up to ?5/hour - over $9/hour). Shows you how much pay differs in the worl:o:o.

Less than the minimum wage here too, in fact below the Henderson Poverty Line; sounds like a nice job though.

Good that you're moving Flish, you deserve way more than $that.

You have more taxes than we do in the UK also, and land is much more expensive...

In the US you can live in a one bedroom apartment and have a decent standard of living with $10,000 a year.

@FlishFun - I could do it, qualified, but i'm only 16, I live in Birmingham, Alabama.. I could drop out of school and do i;);)

I'm more than ready to start my life.

[biorK]

Wow :D cool idea Flish! :yes:

Where you moving?

Pfft, depends on where you live. If you live anywhere near Silicon Valley, you can't buy a cardboard box to live in for $10,000 a year.
