Ask HN: Raleigh. I want to work at Red Hat

3 points by mangaroo 11y ago

Thanks for clicking and please excuse my arrogance. Most of you are professionals and have better things to do than read about me. I'm a student in the area and I live on my own. I'd like to tell my parents I got a job at red hat. It'd be cool to work in the mailroom or something part time. All advice is appreciated

Well the first step is to check out the jobs where you meet the requirements for at http://jobs.redhat.com/job-search-results/ http://jobs.redhat.com/job-search-results/ in your area. After you have a good feel for what they are looking for build your profile on their site at https://careers-redhat.icims.com/connect?mobile=false&width=882&height=500&bga=true&needsRedirect=false&jan1offset=-300&jun1offset=-240 https://careers-redhat.icims.com/connect?mobile=false&width=... If you do not see something in your area look into the remote positions they offer and ask about relocation which they might offer if you have what they are looking for. Who knows you might have something they are looking for and get a nice salary and benefits with a job at Red Hat Inc. to take you to the next level.

  I apologize if you may have seen this post yesterday as another user pointed out. Thank you for your thought out reply. This is exactly what I was looking for. I knew someone would have valuable information to share. HN simply never disappoints.

You submitted the same under a different username less than 24h ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9972580 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9972580. Resubmission is fine, I personally don't like the idea you created a new account.

  You're right. I'm sorry you had to read this twice! I stupidly assumed my post went unnoticed and I didn't want to annoy people like you who are very careful to pay attention to detail and have reason to think I am spamming the board for personal gain. Thank you for your honesty, it's people like you who keep this forum professional and fun for others. I will avoid doing this next time I ask for help as a courtesy to readers like you who prefer using one account and not two.

You should attend meetups @ Red Hat + network, ie: http://www.meetup.com/Raleigh-Red-Hat-User-Group/ http://www.meetup.com/Raleigh-Red-Hat-User-Group/

  Thank you Jon and I apologize if you may have had to read my post twice as I posted the same one yesterday under a different account. One reason I use this website for questions like this is because of the users unique approach to those questions. I had no idea that there were red hat meetups. This is a very interesting approach, one that I never would have considered without first asking HN. Thanks again.
