Dave is right, just a simple comment like that in the ad and the applicants will draw attention to any experience they have in that area. No different than any other requirement you might list. And in today's economy you are going to be surprised at the level of experience you get from the applicants.
Now, will you keep them after the economy picks up. Probably not but that is true of any entry level position, unless you grow the position and the person it will be a revolving door every few years. That isn't necessarily bad, just something to plan for. -----Original Message----- From: David Lum [mailto:david....@nwea.org] Sent: Monday, June 07, 2010 1:51 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: OTish: Help with a job advert?

I've got a minion who's given notice, and I want someone who's got a bit bigger skillset if possible, but don't know if what I want is reasonable for what the company believes to be a beginning position. The one thing I'm really looking for (aside from a decent customer service skills) is someone who has been through the process of locking down desktops so that folks aren't administrators on their machines. I haven't had time to do this, and if we can bring in someone who has that experience, that would be really nice. I also realize that it is probably not considered a beginner's skill, so we might not get that person for the pay we're offering, but it can't hurt to ask. I also don't know exactly how to word it in the advert - have any of you placed an ad asking for this kind of skill, and if so, what did you ask for?
