http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=26694

Got this is the mail, thought people may be interested.

 

Hello. My name is Marianne Dove. I'm a recruiter for Google. Google is

currently seeking several Unix/Linux experts for a couple of positions in

Mountain View, California or Dublin, Ireland. I was wondering if it would

be possible for you to post this information or let your members know about

this opportunity. If so, I've pasted the 2 job descriptions below.

 

If it's not possible, I understand. I don't mean to crowd your technical

list with a job posting, but this is such a great opportunity, and Google is

seeking the very best Engineers from around the world and I feel there must

be dozens of linux experts out there. I'm hoping I can find some of them on

your list via my posting. Thank you for your consideration and time.

 

Sincerely,

 

Marianne Dove
