Did you notice the slight jab at the end of the note? I just wanted to get in a shot. It drives me crazy that there is such a disconnect between the hiring manager and the HR team in most companies.
One of my favorite job adverts had the perfect candidate as being aged 21 – 25, Bachelors degree and 6+ years experience in a corporate environment. The math just didn’t add up unless you started your degree plan at before you were 13.

Time and again I have come across employing interviewers question me about the implementation of ITIL as if it were a physical product. Its nothing new. Yes not so hard to update a resume to make it like you were on a 'stable' job and not a 'job hopper'. Technically if I were to do that, it would look like I worked for just 2 companies over the 12 years I have worked with Remedy. I had to do just quite the opposite when I started looking for consulting gigs, and name every customer my old company had as a different project so that it would look more like a 'job hoppers' resume. Its just a wrapping paper. At the end of the day you are the real stuff - what you know or do not, and can do or cannot, makes the difference to a smart employer (if they exist).

I think that it’s funny though that some employers do not realize anything about this product or the way that it is developed or administered. But I guess that is what recruiters are actually for right?

As I have seen a lot, traveled the world, assisted a wealth of customers with numerous ITSM and bespoke applications, have a breath of experience that most “Stable” Remedy developers do not have. If there is a seasoned Developer/Consultant that is ready to settle down and eliminate traveling, your client should really rethink their definition of “Stable”, because a Consultant is not a “Job Hopper” Doug From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Kitchen, Joshua Sent: Wednesday, December 23, 2009 6:58 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Job: Permanent - Lead Remedy Developer - Cincinnati, OH ** Dear List, Merry Christmas!
