Im surprised you don't have hundreds banging down your door for this job. Is this the only place you're looking?

Career builder listing is getting me tons of resumes, but the issue is this involves swing shift (7-3, 9-5, 3-11), so veterans won't touch it, and people who have strong technical resumes that are interested I can't understand on the phone...

Which is why I've gone to posting on the forums, younger crowd, frequently technical, and some hope of good communication skills.

The listing is on Sologig now as well, but I haven't seen anything back from that yet.

What kind of after hours time / weekends are needed? Can you give an over under on a salary? I wanna know if its worth my time. Advancement opportunities?

We have a rotating shift schedule (7-3, 9-5, 3-11), the early and late shifts work remote to accommodate the coasts. (so basically its a month out of the office, and then 2 months in the office

This makes off-hours between 11pm and 7am during the week (we get MAYBE 1 page every 6 months during the week during those hours), and then the weekends (we get one page every other weekend normally, sometimes we go weeks with none). The off-hours 'pager holder' is actually done through a paging service (so basically if you miss the call, they will just call the next analyst in rotation as a fall back), and is also a rotating schedule (so you are 'on call' for 2 weeks, and then off for 8-10 weeks depending upon how many staff I have on rotation). New hires are not put into rotation until they are up to speed enough that I feel they could handle a system down page with minimal intervention.

As for pay, the position is not really entry level, neither is it senior, so the window is fairly broad depending upon skill sets, we can always discuss it if you shoot me an email or give me a call.

The reason why I'm hiring one of my staff transitioned to a project management role, and another to a DBA role to answer to your advancement question. I've been with Morrisey for 4 years, and am just below senior management, hard work historically pays off here.
