Side Projects and Collaboration

I’ve been getting some requests for small PHP projects. At the moment I’m not taking on any projects. If you still think I should have a look email me a specification or the requirement and I will try to give some feedback or recommend another person who might be willing to take it on.

Freelance developers! Please contact me with a brief of your skills so I can contact you when I get requests like this.

Job Magnet

For some reason job queries seem to find me. I swear I don’t lurk in forums or job boards and keep calling people to see if they are hiring.

I used to when I was freelancing. I had all sorts of searches like PHP coming in as RSS feeds. I actually got a few positive responses but didn’t get any work.

If you are doing the same I suggest you have an updated online portfolio or a blog, that helps a lot.

Anyway there are still no decent job boards here. I guess I’ll have to do something about that.

There jobs are at Stax Inc. From what I heard they need a PHP person right now.

If you know me personally mail me your CV and I’ll forward to them with a recommendation. Because I get 500USD if you get hired. Not really, I wish :)

But wouldn’t it be great if it was so? Everyone would do a lot more to convince their friends to move.

Niche Job Boards

There seems to be a few focused job boards popping up. I guess the big boards are getting too big to wade through.

Cool jobs here!

Since I’m hiring you know its going to be interesting work. I’m looking for a few eager eyed newbies to hire.

1. The Web Content Manager

If you have used any kind of web based content management system or web application (at least Yahoo mail) you almost got the job. Then again you have to be a bit careful and pay attention to details like spelling.

You don’t necessarily need to be a web master or know HTML. But if your heading that way this is a good place to start.

2. The Customer Support Agent

If you are young and you can talk on the phone for hours, there is a job for you.

3. The Intern

I’m hiring an intern. Someone who wants to do web applications. Some of my old freelance clients needs some updates, and there are a few ideas I want to implement myself. If you like to get started with Linux, Apache, PHP, MySql etc let me know.

Man I wish I had jobs like this back in the day.

Jobs 1 and 2 are full time for the company I work for. Job 3 is a more freelance kind of position for 6 months. Email me your resumes and we’ll take it from there.
