Today I did nothing but read job descriptions on Jobmine.  I’ve worked through about 500 descriptions.  Unfortunately, I was kicked off the system again at midnight.  Many of the opportunities are interesting, but it’s a bit intimidated to see that 30-40 people have already applied for the job I’m looking at, and there is only one position available.

I’m surprised by the lack of requests for Python developers.  Most jobs want Java, PHP, .NET, or Perl.  Luckily, I’ve got .NET skillz, and some Java experience as well.  I’ve never liked PHP, so I’ll stay away from those (the irony is PHP was made by a UW grad).  I own a Perl book, but haven’t gotten around to reading it. Woops.  Several jobs have request UML experience, which I have none, but I won’t worry about that too much.

I noticed that there were no RIM jobs available.  I’m not sure if I have to apply on their website, or if they will be in the second set of job postings.  We’ll see.
