Hi Jack,
Ever watch someone’s head explode because they get so excited about what they are doing? Every manager and candidate I talk to
says they want PASSION in the people they hire, the people they work with, and the position they hold. But when I actually speak
with an individual who can CONVEY that passion and not just mouth the words, it’s a real treat. So I’m talking to this manager,
and when we challenge her on the passion part, man did she go off. I mean wow. So it’s a software developer position. The
descriptions are basically the same. RubyRubyRubyRuby. Ruby Tuesday, Ruby will you be mine, Jack Ruby, Ruby on rails, Ruby don’t
bring your love to town, Ruby Red, Ruby Web, Ruby Mobile. But what you will be doing, what you will be working on, what you will
discover, what you will learn…Its impossible to convey the excitement this person displayed, the descriptions she gave, the
PASSION she felt for her company and product. This a social media acorn waiting to grow into an oak tree of aggregated real time
data. In a world where information acquisition is critical and who gets it first even more critical, this is a mecca of social
interaction. Really, you HAVE to work here. Please call or send resume to: jxxxxx@xxxtech.com; 415-xxx-xxxx to get hooked up.
Not everyone will qualify, but as she said “S**T, it’s worth a conversation!!!” I LOVE this Manager!
