Help wanted, inquire within
(Category: True Stories )

To celebrate the new year my company bought itself a large travel company in the UK and a larger one in Germany, catapulting us from the second largest business travel company in the USA to the third largest in the world.

As you might expect the workload for Enterprise Technology in general, and the Project Management / Quality Assurance group in particular, has not decreased. In fact, you would not be incorrect if you guessed that our workload has increased substantially. It's one of the reasons I haven't been posting a whole lot. Where I used to get up bright and early, read a bit, write a bit, shit, shower and shave, I am now catching up on emails and project statuses, shitting, showering and shaving. I've tried to eliminate one or more of the "S" class morning tasks to make room for more blogging but have had mixed results with such experimentation.

But help is on the way, and the sooner the better. We have authorization to hire a QA Manager, 2 Project Managers and a Business Analyst. Experience in the travel industry is a plus but not a grand requirement. Similarly, living in the Atlanta area is a plus (that's where HQ and our department are located) but not required. We also have departmental offices in Chicago and Kansas City (Missouri).

So, who wants a job? If you want more detail on any of these just give a holler.

No such luck, me boyo. We're almost but not quite totally non-virtual.

Sorry, Babe. You know what they say: "Irreplaceable equals unpromotable".

Ugh......sickening!

If they took right out of school with a BS in mechatronic engineering, and were willing to wait until may, i'd think about it.

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

The waiting until May part could be problematic.

I am not applying for a job, but I am wondering if the acquisition of the international sites means you'll be coming over here :)

PS-wifi makes working on the toilet that much easier.

Why can't you have offices in NYC?

Posted by: Flibbertigibbet at February 9, 2006 02:52 PM

We do, but only for travel managers. :(
