There are virtually no junior DBAs available. For junior DBAs to be available there would have to have been entry level DBAs 3 years ago. Hardly anyone has hired an entry level DBA in the last 5 years. So you will need to find an entry level person and train him. Either that or find a weak DBA with experience who is just desperate for a job. There are quite a few out there...

You need to talk to your DBA even though you don't like him. He needs to do the interview. You have no idea how to screen. Received on Mon Jun 21 2004 - 14:11:39 CDT
