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
