Network Administrator I- Discussion
-
I hope the post/thread stays put, but I respect @IRJ 's prerogative to pull it if he sees fit to do so. Even if everyone here seems to have pointed out its perceived weaknesses, I think the discussion is valid and constructive.
-
NO, the post should very much get nuked by the OP as the entire thing is a waste of time for the topic.
@scottalanmiller has ranted on this subject more than one time, in more than one thread, on ML before. I do not see the reason it had to be done again.

I'm not sure the intended take away from this opinion. That any thread that covers ground that has been covered before should not exist? Many threads ask questions or prompt discussions that have happened before or are similar to ones that have happened before. Do you feel that topics should not come up more than once or that once information exists elsewhere it should not be discussed again?
I feel that your dislike for this thread has nothing to do with the content but is purely personal.
Also, the thread is not in question, that remains. It's the OP that may or may not be kept based on @IRJ's decision.

scott and dash, what are you guys shitting all over this thread?

I think that this thread is actually incredibly valuable because it takes information that may or may not exist and may or may not have been seen in other places and instead of being talked about in a vacuum applies it to a specific job posting. Instead of having "searchable material" that the people involved unlikely would be able to find that would be covered in a "how to" style, this is direct feedback about a specific posting.
Even if there is material out there on good ways to do many things, people still need feedback on actual implementations. You can read tons of books about system design or how to hire. But reading that stuff is not the same as getting feedback on an actual system design or actual job posting or process or whatever.
This is a thread that @irj can actually take back to the appropriate people and say "here is the response that we got where people could provide feedback" rather than going back and either ignoring a potential mismatch in outcome to desired outcome or telling the people involved that they need to go search for educational material and study up before doing it again.

you think that because you got your words out of your finger tips. someone was looking for something specific, and you made it your own, as you do far too often (in my selfish opinion) on this board. but whatever floats your island.

So what do you propose? At least I was on topic and responding to the OP and discussions around the OP - and organic conversation growing from that. Are you saying that only people with opinions you want to hear should provide feedback? That there should not be open discussion on an open discussion forum?
What's the alternative that you suggest? Is it simply that my feedback is not appreciated? I get a very strong sense of that, repeatedly, but what I don't understand is what the expectation of an open discussion is when open discussion is so strongly not appreciated.
-
If you feel that there is important alternative viewpoints, rather than belittling people for participating, why not provide those viewpoints. If you don't feel that there is a valuable alternative viewpoint, why do you feel that it is bad that the one that is provided is provided?

Yes, he apparently has left.

Sorry if I end up with more questions each time there is a discussion and it pushes the topic away from the OP. But it's the reality of a discussion.
But perhaps the point of this post wasn't a discussion, but only wanting to post a job thread.
That said, Scott's right, HR could learn a lot from the feedback in the thread in regards to what kind of people read these postings on these types of boards and what they may or may not bother responding to.
-
All, because it is the job postings board. It is not in a discussion forum.
Keep your opinions out of the post.@scottalanmiller I have no personal skin in this. I stayed out of this until it got so bad the OP contemplated deleting the thread. I only chimed in because at that point you all continued to spew forth unrelated information to the OP's job posting.

Fair point, took the discussion here: http://mangolassi.it/topic/5179/how-should-the-job-postings-section-function
-
This topic has been moved to IT Careers. This is a more appropriate space for this discussion.
-
That's more appropriate for the discussion that followed, but not really appropriate for the OP.
-
Oh I agree that for the OP it's not the best place. But for the discussion that follwed it is.
-
Can we change the title to "Network Administrator 1 - Discussion" and have @IRJ repost the OP in the appropriate section?
-
-
Done.

It reads like they want the sun, moon and starts and are willing to pay peanuts
