Hi Sean,

I was just wondering if this worked out well for you? I am a Recruiter with a strong interest in recruiting through blogging. Were you able to hire someone through posting on your blog?

Cheers,

Thanks for the clarification sean, I'm very tempted to apply, I enjoy hangingaround in newgroups and giving presentations. But I decided not to due to (a) I quite enjoy my current job, and (b) I'm (just) scraping the bottom of the "commercial experence" barrel (although I do have "senior" in my current job title).

If you have trouble getting someone with a good track record with helping others, then I'll be reading your blog :-), and as an Aucklander it shouldn't be to hard to meet me.

R,

Ideally you would have 5+ years of commercial experience working with a number of different customers.

Good examples of helping others to adopt technology etc would include Blog's you write, User Group sessions you have been to spoken at. Internal evangelism within an organisation with the goal of adopting a new product. Just really an example that you understand how to motivate people to adopt technology and that you understand what their key concerns would be.

I only wish we had a CHCH office I'm a CHCH boy myself and you'd have to fight me for that role ;)

What sort of experence would you be looking for, in years say? I'm sort of iterested in knowing more about this, but don't want to put alot of effort into it, if i'm not in the ball park. What sort of things would you expect to see to qualify the third point?

On the road again
