How to get a job.
Of course, all programmers have different skills, interests and ability to communicate and work requirements are different, but there are common elements that are useful to know and apply both the first and the tenth in a job.
Types of employment.
The first thing to determine is what is actually needed to take the employer to a new programmer to work. It is very important, and this depends strongly on the whole future life on this job ( as you know, the work of programmers do not work, they just live ).
The following motives for employers to hire workers on the programmer a role, in order of frequency of occurrence:.
Hiring of Alexander Matrosov. Previous employee resigned and someone has to plug an embrasure. I would say that this type of employment and the average expectations of the employer, and the programmer.
hiring Passepartout. When the range of tasks in the company expands from the site support to writing enterprise applications for. Linux. Usually the original team (and most often it is a one-man band ) begins to be missed. And the founding father, feeling that the powder syreet loins weaken, begins to persuade the leadership of (genetically greedy ) on the recruitment of ... I do not know what is leadership responsibilities as an assistant - the ability to keep a candle at the right time, waving a fan at the boss or the mouse to change the users, but it usually agrees and allocates some resources (usually half or one-third smaller than the . But in order to guide it did not think, programmer assistant will have to work hard on all fronts, sticking to receive and communicate with the most hysterical users, from which the chief programmer was tired. Be Passepartout - not prestigious, poorly paid and means to do a lot of work and receive little reward, since all the achievements you know who depart. But - thanks to the same poor conditions at the position Passepartout could easily get a novice programmer or even a student, to be trained in psychological training, which is written above, well, and learn methods of founding father for a future career. In short, ...
Hiring of Joseph Stalin. The bottom line is that when a certain number of programmers in the company there is a mess (because programmers are fundamentally incapable of self-organization within the company - see section ... What programmers are different from normal people. ... Unfortunately, the leadership has no idea that Stalin solved the problem of mess the only available method is not acceptable in a civilized part of the company and civil society - namely, the command ... So if you have tipped for the role of Joseph Stalin, and the phone you do not smoke and generally kill only the monsters in the Duma and in counter terrorism, it is best to refrain from such work ( how to fix the mess by the self- programming, we will discuss later ).
hiring Lefty. Lefty, in modern terms, this is a programmer who solves the problems of a great and unique way. Very often, the team lacks a strong algoritmista, expert database and some t. Dr.. , So the management decided, reluctantly, to hire Lefty did, that he rolbeksegmenty optimized, accelerated work, found all the bugs, etc. Dr.. It may seem that this is a dream job for any programmer - you feel that you are selling high prices, mentioning pleasant moments like Jacuzzi and solarium at the expense of the company, compensation for petrol at your plane and m. Dr.. But you should understand that you are waiting on a very large, exceeding the existing staff, success, and the incredible work discipline and loyalty. If the boss sees you for the unfolding of solitaire, I fear, his reaction will not ... Frankly, Lefty employment does not work, and organize consulting companies (Dima, hello ), and sell their services by the hour. If you feel that the accumulated knowledge reached Lefty, throw it nafig hiring and proceed to read the chapter ...
Hiring a cog and Shpuntik. It happens occasionally normal direction (usually the very of the programmers ), which manages to cope with the organization of the development process at least on the level of manufacture, and formulates requirements for programmers to clearly and accurately. Salaries and requirements they have adequately high ( with a bias in moderation ), the collective good. If you have not reached the level of Lefty, or do not want to have your own business, then this is probably a really good job for the programmer. But, of course, ...
Hiring of Isadora Duncan. It is not in the sense that employees are looking for gay (there is a company exceptions, but they are known to all ). Hiring of Isadora Duncan - is when looking for employees with special, entertainment talent. In an environment of bosses and managers is a striking example of a busty blond secretary, but his programmers in an environment where more specific requirements. For example, one oil company in the IT department took the person who drove very well in the. Quake. The IT department regularly with analysts and fought all the time lost, but with the advent of a new deputy chief of intelligence got a rocket in the head (well, what do you want to do the champion of Moscow Kwaku will go to pay less than the deputy head?). Can still remember the story about how a good sysadmin telling jokes - cause it happened, the boss in the dressing down, why backups are not done, and after 10 minutes of the Cabinet heard roars of laughter, and an hour creep boss and sysadmin on the eyebrows, embracing, .
hiring Blind. Previously, this recruitment is practiced in large plants or large companies, where strong HR department, and people from the IT department - is a type mice that crawl under the table with a grid. It is now less of such firms - are ruined quietly.

In general, the types of employment are all. Some people notice that kind of overlooked naipopulyarneyshy hiring - hiring relatives / thieves, but we're talking here about the conduct of programmers and do not write the book, ... Although about how to behave in a team where there is a ...
Good and bad employers - who are they?.
Now let's talk about how to define a good employer and how to get it. First, it means ... Because once the amount of money exceeds a certain level ( according to my calculations, it is somewhere in the 10-12 times more per capita subsistence minimum), an extra hundred bucks is not as important as good working conditions.
Some may disagree, but a good employer for the programmer - it is the employer who provides material and spiritual development. Under the material first and foremost meant money - not allowed to do when the wife is not what a mink coat to buy, and the kids at Disneyland never had ( this summer ). The second condition of the material conditions of work are. For example, in one well-known bank are paying very good money, with premiums not hurt, but the conditions are, frankly, not so hot - crowded, old and collapsing chairs, tea, coffee and sugar at its own expense. What kind of fitness program out there, Jacuzzis and swimming pools for employees.
But in. Google. ( in U.S. campus ) feed, sing, entertain, and heals the employees directly from the machine, so to speak. And in the same Microsoft, at an early stage of its development, the programmers were playing volleyball in the workplace, and sitting in the sauna ( it was Russian, most likely ) have discussed. HAL. So... - live work. It is well -known fact that people work well when get used to the work.
Since the material is clear - the level of salary indexation, promotion, benefits package and the conditions in the workplace can be easily estimated for another interview.

Now let's deal with the spiritual. As if this sounds pathetic, but more importantly spiritual development of the current financial situation, since it determines the future financial situation. What would be an example to bring to the programmer was understandable... But, that's - Playboy. I hope everyone knows that children's erotic magazine, very popular in the West. So, for a photo on the cover they pay a fee of only $ 500 (maybe 600 now - inflation is the same). But wanting to bare them on the cover just a dime a dozen, despite the fact that some of them 500 dollars a racket to wave or go eat or something. And the thing is that after the photo on the cover ( and just inside) models are simply snapped, quotes, go up sharply, let alone the ...
Of course, the programmer is working in other parts of the body than the model, and by the time it takes a little longer, but the essence is the same - after working on fashion design in the fashion office, having mastered the new technology is now in demand, you can greatly succeed later.
Therefore, choosing an employer, you need to figure out his ...
Apart from the purely spiritual knowledge is very important and the position in which you work. Sometimes it is to work for lower pay to get the record in the workbook, and a summary such as ... The fact is that even if you have the charisma and organizational skills, you can not go to a new position with an increase in (the exception is the transition of the employers familiar ) - this stereotype is very strong in the minds of HR managers and bosses.
bosses.
Bosses are not the employers, remember that! . If not, then just remember that the term has long outlived the slave himself, and even long- abolished serfdom, not to mention the right of the first night (incidentally, it was replaced by the right to cut the ribbon... more unequal, but at least something...). And soon to. job. ru!.
The companies above average size difference between a boss and employee is very significant, it must be clearly appreciated. The employer may give you excellent facilities (even personal masseuse will be nice!), But you will be with them if you have bosses sublimating hidden fan of Hungarian notation, and an ardent supporter. Fortran. under. Solaris. With persistent nostalgia for the EU -1030 and ongoing depression, interrupted only buy once. BMW. M. 5 ( which, of course, you will only aggravating factor )?.
In short, the bosses should be able to quickly assess and prepare the... uh, choose....
The next time we will look at these types of bosses, as tupbossy, damnbossy, vipbossy, blabossy, and of course, the two most disgusting types of bosses: the cowardly bosses ( trusbossy ) and hysterical bosses, or psihbossy.

Google not only denies the allegations of stealing technology company Jarg Corp, but he threatens to sue.
For some reason there is a perception that the best gift in such a romantic holiday, as Valentine's Day will be flowers and candy - most young people are confident that they are crazy about all the girls. But the days of sitting by the window with the needlework are long gone, and quite a large percentage of the fair sex prefers commonplace technical novelty chocolate. So why not add a bouquet of flowers with a box of new USB flash drives.
Drunken motorists in the Belgian city of Ghent now need not worry that will be stopped by the police and they will have to blow into a tube for passing the test for alcohol - they can receive text messages on the exact location of the police, local media reported.
