John D. Head aka "Starfish"

So with how busy Luis, Alex, and myself have been (along with everyone else on our team), PSC is looking to hire someone to join our IBM Lotus team. From Alex's site here is what he is looking for:

Strong Lotus Notes development skills

• @Functions, of course
• LotusScirpt is a must
• Strong web development skills
• Know how take a Lotus Notes application to the web
• Know how to write JavaScript
• Knowledge of DHTML, AJAX is always a plus

Experience building enterprise applications

• Know how to build applications without hardcoding everything
• Know how to write code that won’t break if an application is moved to a new server or some people leave the company
• Know to connect a Lotus Notes application to a back-end data source, for example, DB2, MS SQL, Oracle.

Consulting skills

• Have experience working face-to-face with the customers, end users, business users
• Know how to work off minimal specifications/ideas from business users and how to build development specifications out of them
• Know how work independently and manage a project and client relationship

So I wanted to add a few things ... we are really looking for someone who we can mentor and grow into the world's best IBM Lotus consultant. And by consultant you have to be willing to travel across the Chicago area and even beyond that. You have to be able to work alone on a project at the customer site ... and become a rainmaker. We are a great group at a company that is growing and is the best job I have ever had. PSC is the company that really helped me turn a job and passion into a career. We are only looking for folks in the Chicago area who want to be part of a great team that you will help make even better!

If you are interested, please contact Alex at akassabov@PSCListens.com. Do not email me or leave comments - Alex does the hiring, I cause the trouble :-)
