These companies who announce they have a huge need for help always go through their ridiculously stupid HR department which makes it near impossible to get a job. In my younger days before I was self employed I remember job hunting. The HR department would post something like a requirement for 20 years of a certain software that hasn’t even existed or 5 years. Or the typical “Masters degree required. 25 years experience. Must work nights and weekends. Minimum wage.”
IT departments don’t need much help. Putting them together and doing the physical work does.
A high value electrical background with an overall understanding of a Data Center and its UPS back-up will land you a job anywhere.
I’m fortunate to work on the side of economic development that tries to stop such foolishness on the part of HR departments. They’re a hard-headed bunch, I’ll grant you that! However, I’ve also seen the operations types with ignorant ideas about the wages they’ll be able to hire at. Example - ready for certification code welders: $14-15/hour. There were about 5 of us wondering what they were smoking when they decided on that wage.
Like Sandia National Lab, they want a pHD for evry damn job. I applied for one with 24 years experience in the very task they needed and never heard back.
If they were hiring someone to park cars they’d start off with Formula 1 championship helpful.
