Topic: Work in Holland ???

I don't normally do this, but I remember hearing of one or two Euro-Inmates who are either not working right now or just pissed with their current work, so I thought ... we need someone at the Space Agency ... and many Inmates are a good fit for the job ...

So here it is. A job at the European Space Agency Techincal and Scientific Headquarters in Holland ... NERD HEAVEN ...

I can certainly recommend the working conditions there. Relatively stress free, friendly, international, fairly well-paid, the most intelligent and interesting bunch of "customers" you're likely to meet, and the sort of social/sporeting/hobby "afterlife" you only find attached to an expatriate environment ...

Interested ... e-mail me with a CV ... We are pretty urgently in need ... right now! ... Don't worry about the profiled qualifications. I don't have a degree, just experience (lots of it) ... If you do write to me about the job, tell me your nickname as well as your name ... I'm going to ber "pre-selective" about who I put forward to my bosses - they trust my judgement (I've already got one person a job here).

Oh .. BTW ... sorry but AFAIK, the candidate must be a European Citizen, a Swiss or a Canadian. I'll check on that on Monday.
