We're Hiring!!!

I had been appointed, at work, to recruit for our open position... I work for the Florida Auditor General's Office (that's our building above), which is located right next to the Florida Capitol. Basically, we have about 500 employees (90% are CPAs--most of them work in Tallahassee, and some are scattered all over Florida... we have an office in every major Florida city), and then we have the IT section (which is only located in Tallahassee), which is where I work... I started working for the AG, literally, 2 days after graduating from FSU. My mother-in-law, Jana, was the Deputy Auditor General for several years before she retired in 2004.

For the past year and a half, I've been developing applications used by Auditors, mostly with Statewide audits. The office had been using mainframe programming, which is truly ancient (we are hoping to get rid of it by 2010), and so I have been helping with the migration to the new servers (i.e. MS SQL 2005), have been coding the old programs to be ADA compatible, and been translating old applications from ASP to ASP.NET. Because of this, I've also learned Accounting.

On Sept. 29th (Friday), FSU will be having their Fall Seminoles Future (Career Fair), which will be held in the Civic Center for Seniors graduating in December. I will be in the Auditor General booth taking applications and resumes. Also, on Oct. 4th (Wednesday), I will be at the University of West Florida in Pensacola for their Career Fair as well... Please stop by if you are in need of an entry-level position and if you meet the qualifications below...

We are currently looking for a developer or programmer with the following qualifications:
* A bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Management Information Systems or Information Science.
* Knowledge in Microsoft SQL, Query Analyzer, Visual Basic, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, ASP, and ASP.NET
* HTML, XML (Other programming languages--i.e. C, C++, C#, Java--a PLUS)
* Excel, MS Access, and ACL version 8
* Windows Operating Systems, particularly Windows XP
* Microsoft Office Suite
* Excellent written skills (for documentations) and verbal skills (for presentations)
* And must be a US citizen or a permanent resident

Working for the AG has been a pleasure... My co-workers are great!!! We have free health, dental and life insurance, unbeatable 401K/retirement plans, Florida pre-paid college program for our children, and a lot more...
