It’s [almost] common knowledge that Virtualization skills are misunderstood.

I get called by recruiters a lot, and I have no problems with that.  Mostly it’s a non-event, and I can generally refer them to someone else who may be interested in the position they are trying to fill.  Sometimes, I’m pleasantly surprised and come across a recruiter knows and understands the Virtualization space very well.

But sometimes, (like now) I’m left with such a head scratching, “what drugs are you on“  sensation, that words fail me completely.  Take the following “opportunity” - I’ve changed some words to protect the guilty:

Be an integral part of a growing company with cutting-edge IT systems!

  • Installing, configuring and supporting Microsoft Windows Operating systems (2000, XP & Vista);
  • Supporting the Microsoft Office suite of products at an advanced level;
  • Maintaining and supporting standard desktop hardware, printers and peripherals;
  • Providing system administration using Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange.
  • Desktop publishing, multimedia (e.g. Video editing) skills and Web design experience using Dreamweaver will also be advantageous
  • VMWare and Microsoft Windows Server experience in this area will be well regarded

Attractive salary and working conditions are offered.

*chuckle*  If nothing else, it proves without a doubt, that virtualization no longer lives in just the Datacentre.  Virtualization is being applied in the strangest of places - and before we know it, will be everywhere from the desktop, to the branch server, and beyond.  ..and maybe even your media centre   :)
