I have been on a search for a new position for almost a year. I have landed my "dream" job as a senior DBA, though!
First, congratulations! I love my job and I'm glad you were able to find a job you love as well.
I actually saw this listing in my search, and here is why I never sent my resume:
The list of qualifications was very long. There were so many things listed. yet, the experience required was THREE YEARS. I have been at this for 17 years, and probably don't know all of the things on this posting. My conclusion was that the salary was low.
The requirements listed for AD, disk configurations, and SCOM led me to believe that the IT department was not very structured, or very inexperienced.
Overall, the whole posting looked like a wish list, not a job description.
Next, I have a question that I hope you, or anyone else willing, would help me with. No matter what you write or how you write it, a job posting is going to be interpreted different ways by different people. My question is, what from the most recent version of my job post is too much, or too vague, or in anyway would dissuade you from giving it a second look?
Don't worry about hurting my feelings; if you can dish it, I can take it, and I'll appreciate it at that.;-)
