Interesting recruiting technique. This message was sent to the following newsgroups:

comp.databases,
comp.databases.oracle.marketplace,
comp.databases.oracle.misc,
comp.databases.oracle.tools,
comp.databases.paradox,
comp.databases.sybase,
comp.databases.informix,
comp.databases.ms-access,
comp.databases.ms-sqlserver,

ne.wanted

Yet there's at least a dozen other database related newsgroups that they did not include on the list, such as btrieve, gupta, db2, ingres, pick, progress, xbase...

Also, people with at least one year of query product experience with the prodcuts named, such as Crystal Reports, Access, etc. would surely be a "infosystem professional", wouldn't they? At the minimum they would be a "system analyst". These are hardly products designed for amateurs.

The demand is rather self-contradictory. Received on Thu Aug 28 1997 - 00:00:00 CDT
