Re: [vox] Going to be moving to Davis-Good evening :-)

Welcome to Davis!  I absolutely love this place, been here a year 
now.  This is my first post to the list, so, hello everyone, hope I can be 
of service around here.

I just got employed as a Programmer I here at UC Davis.  There are a lot of 
computer jobs on campus, just look at the human resources page (think 
someone already posted that, but here it is anyway: 
http://hr.ucdavis.edu/).  It can take a while though, took nearly three 
months from the time I applied, to the time I was hired.  Trust me though, 
if I can get hired, there's no way you won't be hired; I have no degree, 
and my background isn't nearly as extensive as yours.  Make sure to shoot 
for the highest position you'd qualify for, a factor in not getting hired 
is being over qualified for a position (they're scared you'll jump ship for 
a better position within a few months).

Good luck with the application process and again, welcome!

PS: I love SuSE!  I'm not the biggest Red Hat fan, but all the Linux 
servers I've run before have been Red Hat.
