| Jan 17, 2013 at 22:59 | comment | added | Mike Honeychurch | @BrettChampion early in the new year I sent another email since it had been 6 weeks without any information about the jobs!!! No reply. It has now been 2 months since my first email. Remember that the link on the WRI job site is titled "Request more information". | |
| Nov 28, 2012 at 3:45 | comment | added | Mike Honeychurch | @BrettChampion After waiting 11 days I got a reply to my email. The reply contained no information about the job, the company, closing dates etc. Send us your details and they will forward them on. !! | |
| Nov 27, 2012 at 6:28 | comment | added | Mike Honeychurch | Still no reply. Can others reading this send them an email and see if you get a reply. | |
| Nov 23, 2012 at 2:39 | comment | added | Brett Champion | @MikeHoneychurch Interesting. I don't know who runs that, but will look into it. | |
| Nov 23, 2012 at 0:38 | comment | added | Mike Honeychurch | @BrettChampion I emailed [email protected] 6 days ago about the job ads. Still waiting for a reply. Not a promising start. | |
| Nov 17, 2012 at 23:38 | comment | added | Mike Honeychurch | @BrettChampion it looks like there are third party jobs listed there too (at the bottom) but to get information you have to go through WRI. A proper job listing site should enable people to obtain information about the job and contact details directly. | |
| Nov 15, 2012 at 17:23 | comment | added | David Creech | @BrettChampion That is a good start. I think it could be improved by making it a separate section or at least a seprate page on the website, allowing more detailed job descriptions, and perhaps a form to request more information directly. | |
| Nov 15, 2012 at 5:01 | comment | added | Brett Champion | @rm-rf I didn't see an obvious way to link directly to it, which didn't help.. | |
| Nov 15, 2012 at 4:49 | comment | added | rm -rf Mod | @BrettChampion Isn't that for careers at WRI? David was referring to a general Linkedin/SO Careers like market place for mma specific jobs. Or was that not what Stephen was referring to? Edit: Ok, there's a small blurb at the very bottom... | |
| Nov 15, 2012 at 4:19 | comment | added | Brett Champion | @David The site Stephen mentioned is actually available already, at the bottom of wolfram.com/company/careers/index.html | |
| Nov 14, 2012 at 21:46 | comment | added | ssch | I think a career link in the top bar that looks something like career(3) if there are 3 new jobs would be clicked a lot | |
| Nov 14, 2012 at 20:06 | comment | added | David Creech | Regarding publicizing at the Wolfram Technology Conference, this year Stephen Wolfram mentioned in his keynote a plan to start some form of Mathematica jobs marketplace. Wolfram might be willing to build something if SO doesnt. | |
| Nov 14, 2012 at 19:54 | comment | added | rm -rf Mod | @Szabolcs I already addressed that with the suggestion for private beta where folks who need to hire advertise and users looking for it fill up their profiles. We'll have to bootstrap somehow, and the best way to do it is by taking this community's help. People like David and others who are looking can post ads, or if anyone knows someone who's looking can forward an invitation to them, etc. In the end, employers and employees are both necessary... No one would advertise in a place where there are no candidates and no one would keep a profile active and updated if there's no one posting jobs. | |
| Nov 14, 2012 at 19:51 | comment | added | Szabolcs | Getting people to post their profiles is probably the easier part. Getting people to post job announcements might be more difficult. I imagine less of those people who are looking for Mathematica programmers will already know about Mathematica.SE (and Mathematica.SE is the point of entry to whichever career/job site we'll choose to work with). What do you think about this? | |
