> Subject: IBM VM job description We need to hire someone with IBM VM skills to support an ES9000. We need information on what duties/skills/knowledge this entails so that we can define the job and prepare interviews, job advertisments, and satisfy other University hiring procedures. This (the IBM world) is new to us, hence our request for assistance. If anyone can supply sample 'job descriptions', we will be most appreciative. (If you know someone who can assist us, please pass this message along to them.) Please note that this is NOT an announcement of an open position -- we're not quite at that stage yet. What we are looking for is sufficient information to _write_ such an announcement. This message is being posted to a number of (more or less) likely groups where someone may be able to help us. [I know, it's a 'stretch' in some cases. If anyone can point me at a more appropriate newsgroup, or set of newsgroups, please do. I did not find anything specifically dealing with operating a university academic computer center, but that may be my oversight.] Please do _not_ reply to the newsgroup/mailing-list, as for the most part I don't monitor them. [Yes, I know this is a breach of protocol -- I'm doing it anyway.] Please, please, PLEASE, respond by e-mail only, to this address: david@csd4.csd.uwm.edu [I've directed replies to david. I've also directed followups, which I've asked you to not use, to misc.jobs.offered. Here's the original request from our Associate Director.
