My work is seeking a recent uni grad (cos its hard for a uni grad to get a foot in the door). 

 

So we're looking for someone

 

- recently graduated from uni, ie no previous experience.

 

- has a good understanding of C#

 

- preferably who has done open source work while at uni (so we can have a look at your skill level)

 

 

 

We're based in Ellerslie, Auckland.

 

Just PM for details.

It seems like ageism to me. Plenty of older workers can't get work either.

not ageism, a 50 year old recent grad student is more than welcome to apply.

 

we're after a few, so PM me and send me your CV.   But I do want to give someone who's just graduated a shot.

I don't see any reference to age in the original post. An older person can have recently graduated (eg study later in life).

bump.

 

 

 

this position will fill pretty quick, my HR department is bombarding me with CVs.  But they all have a a year of experience or two, would rather give a recent uni grad the chance.

 

 

 

So PM me now if you're interested.

 

 

 

A little more about us

 

- 10 developers in auckland office, around 30 people in the office

 

- located in ellerslise

 

- has been in same building for 13 years, company has been around since the mid 90s in one form or another, so good job security

 

- I started there straight out of uni 13 years ago, now am a Lead/Senior developer (hence me wanting to give a uni grad a chance, I remember how hard it was to find a job with zero experience)

 

- We're a microsoft company, usingn visual studio 2017 enterprise (will be switching to visual studio 2019 soon), we keep up with the latest technologies, ie we're always learning the new stuff
