We are looking for a consultant/ employee to develop realtime apllication code on the ARM9 processor. Experience with Montavista or GreenHills Integrity RTOS development on the ARM required. If interested contact me via email.
Funny, I've almost always placed "possesses a functioning brain" way higher in my priority list than "has extensive experience with XYZ". And when I've been involved in hiring people who posses a functioning brain but not experience with some specific tool or language I've almost always been pleased -- whereas specific experience without the functioning brain has always been a disaster.
It's like only hiring HR people who drive Chryslers.
You're maybe right when you refer to "employee", but if I would look for an consultant I'd choose someone with experience (and functioning brain of course). An employee should fit into my team, so learning to program ARM might be the least difficult thing for someone new.

We have been having an interesting discussion on the topic at 8052.com just lately. Many people seems to think that 20+ years experience is a substitute for a demonstrably functioning brain.
Your observation probably confirms the desirability of his having a functioning brain. On the other hand, it could be his way of collecting a list of international candidates to flog to his cusomers.

Well fuck me. I guess no good deed goes unpunished. I placed this
posting as a favor to the head of our IT dept. The requirements are
One would have hoped "functioning brain" could be left out of the requirements in a job posting. But judging from some postings on the usenet, this is not a given.
But I believe Tim has a point. Sometimes "required" for a particular RTOS or processor architecture may narrow your field of candidates to a deleterious extent.
Better: "Experience with xyz RTOS on abc processors, or similar, preferred"
(Of course, for those without functioning brains, that is a wide open door.)
Fortunately for me, the company that hired me still had "..or equivalent" in their requirements, and they are glad they did.
Sure, people with a functioning brane would have mungled your e-mail address to get,
formatting link
Where they might find you are based in Los Angeles/California.
Since Google kindly sticks your host IP address in your headers then they could have done a whois which would confirm that your service provider is somewhere nearby.... it doesn't match the address of the webserver so maybe you did this from home.
In the meantime..... all comments about you giving insufficient information are valid.
Like, wow, that's a good start. Does this mean I have to drill the requirement specification out of your skull with a rusty hammer.
You want I should send an e-mail to the IT manager at your company explaining how you totally succeeded in demonstrating that he either nows nothing about IT or has employed someone who is incapable of disguising his stupidity
It's quite good that..... the 'threading' doesn't make sense. It reads like he is having an argument with himself and I have replied to his second self explaining why his first self is right.
