[asterisk-biz] Asterisk job request

[Tom Moore]

I don't know the original person who posted the job request in person, but
what I do know is that the request was sent out with the best intentions in
mind.
I have had more than a few conversations with this person and what I think
we're dealing with here is someone who has the community's best interest at
heart, but because of the country they find themselves in, it makes it hard
to find work using voip I suspect.

In that spirit, I'll offer a few suggestions -

1) Read the questions others are posting and consider responding privately
if you have the experience to help.

2) Rather than asking for somebody to "give you a job," consder asking for
advice or contacts.  Advice is much more freely given than jobs and may
actually lead to a job.

3) Pay attention as you go about your day.  Maybe you call to check on your
dry cleaning and find that they have an IVR that is set up all wrong and
driving away customers.  Talk to the owner about how you can help.

4) Consider giving away your services.  Volunteer to upgrade the old key
system at your favorite charity if they pay for the equipment.  If you get
the gig, you help a worthy cause, make solid contacts and get a work
reference to boot.

I know this sounds like a lot of work, but so is a job.  As an employer, I'm
not going to hire somebody looking for a handout but I'll definately hire
somebody working hard to find a place where their skills can fit.

Good luck.
