    How do you get a job here..

    I'm currently doing IT in school and enjoy it a lot and have picked up some skills over the years and would would like my profession to be something like a software programmer or even something like this.

    Just wanted ot ask anyone who knows if they have a free time what qualifictaions do you need to have to work here in the UK A- levels etc..

    Did any of the people here currently working for Jelsoft just join up and helped out a lot of others and showed they knew a lot about the system and got the job thorugh that..

    I understand if know one replys but some feedback would be great...

    Get involved in the community and with the software you like in what ever field that is, get good at it and as you become capable write and release tools / add-ons / free ware etc, then people will find you.

        Cool well I suppose I have the age thing going for me.

        Hey MJ you are hoping for a job here correct, you seem to have good knowledge and have a hefty post count what is holding you back.

            I don't think your kidding

            I think most people who have a vB (or rather, most people who hack their vB's) would want a job at Jelsoft.

            MGM out

                All staff is placed under NDA, and they can't disclose pay, and other confidential information

                      I wouldn't mind working here as a part time job doing support for an hour or two after school and a couple hours over the weekends. ^Wonders if they would hire a kid^ I think Mike Sulliven was put as Co-Developer at the age of 15?

                        I don't see why not, if you have the right skillsa nd can prove it, then you could probably get one.

                            Wow, forgot all about the Dart one. I used to play darts til a couple of years ago...

                            The NDA (the non-disclosure one) is 2 pages long at my work.

                              If you feel you have the necessary skills, please email [email protected] with a full CV and resume. All enquiries are treated confidentially.
                              The only problem is that a kid's resume would be hard to compile because usually kids are not involved in the type of experience they are probably interested in. I have about a year experience in the vbulletin forum software, about 7 months in PHP coding, and about 5 years in HTML coding. I guess that would be a good enough resume?
