Of Job Openings, Query Letters and Applications
Hey, everybody! Check out these new career opportunities at www.lift-inc.org/featured/Openings.html. Here's a longer version of the California job, and another one in Austin, Texas. Good luck to all applicants!
Lift, Inc. (www.lift-inc.org) has recently developed an exciting new opening for a software engineer to work with one of the world's leading corporations.
San Jose, California -- The position involves evaluation, troubleshooting and analysis in a strong team environment. The individual selected will work closely with customer management and technical support personnel, IMS management and other product teams, and will be responsible for driving team activities such as causal analysis, process analysis and defect prevention. Foreign language skills are a plus. A bachelor's degree or equivalent experience is required.
The position requires knowledge of the following:
Z/OS, and or OS 390 Operating System
Information Management System (IMS)
Austin, Texas: WebSphere Specialist -- This is another exciting opportunity to work with state-of-the-art technology in a strong team environment. The candidate chosen will provide technical support via phone and electronic updates, and must demonstrate exceptional problem-solving and interpersonal skills. Preferred technical skills (can be taught): WebSphere, relational database, JAVA, Distributed Op Sys.
For further information, to make referrals or to apply, contact Liftinc@aol.com.
Lift, Inc. is an award-winning national nonprofit corporation that trains, hires and places information technology specialists who have physical disabilities.
Reflections on query letters and applications: Like anyone else, I've written and agonized over a ton of application materials throughout my career--probably killing a few trees before e-applying became the norm. Here is the wisdom I have collected over the years:
Keep it brief (no more than one page). Concentrate on your skills and be confident. Use everyday phrasing, but be professional. Rewrite if you have to.
In the cyberspace age, it's easy to become informal. But in a cover letter, don't. Use Mr. or Ms. Usually the hiring manager is not someone you know well.
Don't address disability AT ALL in a cover letter. Know how and when to disclose and how to ask for accommodations. Let employers see what you can offer them.
We all make spelling errors from time to time. But if you describe yourself as "detail oriented" in a cover letter, and your cover note and resume have typos, you've lost that opportunity.
