Job Hunting: I’m open
By Stefan Constantinescu on Friday, March 23rd, 2007 at 12:03 AM PST In Blog Updates
Due to several personal and financial reasons I will be withdrawing from several (probably all) of the classes I’m taking this semester. People keep telling me to put ads on Ring Nokia (NYSE: NOK), but I promised myself I would never do such a thing.
Craigslist, Monster and Edgeio are practically my home pages since embarking on this quest for a paycheck. I call it a quest since it makes the mundane task of copy and pasting your resume and sending hundreds of emails sound more exciting. Now all I need is a princess to save, a wizard to help me complete the impossible and a legion of my fellow men to ride with me in search of honor.
What can I say? I’ve always had a thing for medieval European stories, legends and history. How can you not?
I can relocate to any city, state or country; I’ve always wanted to see the world. I don’t know how successful this post will be, but I figure it’s worth a shot to just ask. Feel free to call me or drop me an email.
I am looking forward to sitting next to you at the round table.
Good luck for your quest!

Thanks Tommi!
Coming from you it means a lot. I already have that link bookmarked and memorized. One of Guy’s best blog posts last year I would say.
I’m sure you have this link bookmarked too

I believe that the recruiting process is a pain in the arse, both for the recruiters looking for good candidates, and for the candidates looking for good jobs. Unfortunately, I have no shortcuts to offer you, despite your great work with this blog. I’m not sure will you get any good job offers with this open job application, but I believe this blog, as a whole, is an excellent reference for you to use in your job applications.
Hey Stefan, are you looking for a permanent / full time job or more of a contract / internship kind of thing? Anyway, please email me your resume and we’ll discuss the details.
Cybette: You’ve got mail. As long as I can wear the Nokia colors (the position is irrelevant) then I can mingle with the rest of the employees and move up the ladder that way.
