I asked this in another section too.

Recently I was given an assignment to develop code in C++ to automate some administrative tasks. The job was advertised as a Unix development position and an Oracle back end. Come to find out that they expected me to develop the application for cross platform execution for Windows XP with a SQL server back end.

As if that wasn't bad enough, they expected me to do this using only ISO Standard C++ with a Gnu compiler and an old Vis. C++ compiler with no documentation. No DB libraries (AFAIK), no cross-platform libs, nothing. Not only that, but they had no requirements docs & no plan.

I had suggested doing the project in Python, but it was dismissed as he had no Python programmers to maintain it.

They wanted me to design and implement the system, but they did not want give me written requirements or the leeway to use tools of my choosing. And they wanted it in 3 to 5 months.

So the question is, was this as impossible a task as I thought it was

I just took a job for a Network Support Specialist and I am close to having my degree in information technology. During my interview the director ask me if I could install software,change print cartridges, change internal pc hardware, and set up email accounts.


I can do all of the above and the pay is great but from the duties described doesn't the job actually sound like a simple Tech Support, or computer support specialist job?


Also the company has over 400 pc's but still to me this sounds like a cake job and will be very easy for someone with my experiance, what do you think?



BTW I am pumped about the job and can't wait till the first monday of January to start.

i have a resume made recently , and i was inclined on the fact that I must write a cover letter no matter what the case.

Yesterday during the thanksgiving party I was talking to my cousins who works at the same position i want to work.. it seems they didn't give much importance for cover letters at all. I don't understand how that's possible..

he said he don't remember what he wrote in his cover letter for the job where he's currently working in . and my other cousin said he didn't write a cover letter.

Now I am confused

what do you think I should do?

Let's say the research is done [ COMPLETE ]
now what ? How many lines am i supposed to write about this company that i just read about in their website in the " ABOUT US " section , in my cover letter.

I don't understand this . What is it that they want us to write in it ?

I remember working at my uncles shop ( as an electronics technician ) for a year around 8 years ago

these were my job duties

I had to read and interpret mechanical, optical, and electrical specifications.I used multi-meters, digital oscilloscopes, DVM and function generators
I tested analog and digital circuits and generated test reports in MS Word, MS Excel and MS PowerPoint.

These are the job descriptions that I could put in words.
But i can't remember why i was testing , reading and measuring all these voltages and so on and so forth .

I dn't know if he was an evil genius working on world domination or if he was working on a project that relates to world domination ?

the bad thing is that i need to add this to my resume ,and i wanna write what was it that i was working "ON" .

what do you think , in your mind , was I working on ?
any help would make me glad .
Thanks.

My husband is stuck working for a very poorly managed company/team. He's been saying for years that he needs someone else to train for his job as a backup and they keep saying that it will get better. He's overworked and underpaid and they still haven't hired someone for him to train to help him and be his backup. This week he is on vacation, but is near a computer and COULD log in if he wanted (his bosses don't know this). They've had a problem with his process and have left him messages on his cell phone about it. He doesn't want to call them back since he's on vacation and he'll just get dragged into working. I think he should at least call back, but not actually do the work. Perhaps he could just explain to them how to fix the problem--of course, it's programming so I doubt he could do much over the phone. Technically, he is on vacation and should not be available. He's looking for another job, but should he call them back and try to help? What do you all think?

Yes, I love to travel. I actually romanticize the red-eye, spontaneously setting out for the airport at a moment's notice, have breakfast in London, Lunch in Milan and Dinner in the US.

Sure, I know it's not as rosy as I am describing it but you see thats how much passionately I love to travel.
I would hate to have a job that will confine me to walls of a cubicle all the time.

I am in US and studying for my Master's in Computer Science.
I have a passion for this field and I know I can do wonders in it.

I just wanted to know what fields in the general area of Computer Science will allow me lots of travel?

Please feel free to be specific...

After every visit to Yahoo, I've found between 30 and 40 spy bots that Yahoo has attached to my system. I run 3 different spy bot programs to find and delete them, but it sure seems to be a dirty trick on the part of Yahoo to do this to people! It's also very dangerous to allow the spy bots to remain in your system because of the possibility of ID theft.

Has anyone else noticed this problem?!
