Ask HN: Who's looking for employment?

#1
It's the reverse of a "Who's hiring?" thread. Since I'm currently looking for a job, I thought it might be helpful to get my name out there on HN.

If you're currently looking for work, post your name, the type of work you're looking for, and where you're looking for work.

I'll go first:

Andrew Dobrenko, I'm looking for python web development work, I live in Washington DC and would like to work here.

As a web developer I can do fullstack implementations: frontend, backend, deployment, maintenance and so forth.

Please don't hesitate to email: maxc@me.com

This comment is off-topic, but should be helpful for the OP. If you don't upvote it, it'll sink to the bottom where it rightfully belongs (edit - so much for that...)

Hey johnwall, you're in a good city to be a python web developer. First off, you should check these two urls on a regular basis:

http://www.indeed.com/q-python-l-Washington-DC-jobs.html

http://www.indeed.com/q-django-l-Washington-DC-jobs.html

Second, here's a list of companies that are looking are have looked in the past for Python developers. The included links may not have a Python job posted anymore, but I recommend cold-calling/emailing each of them and see what happens. I'll leave obtaining the proper phone numbers / emails to you :)

This site may be helpful for the OP: http://www.maxmasnick.com/guides/jobs/

A fellow HNer compiled that list two weeks ago. It looks to be a fairly comprehensive listing of job listings. While it was compiled with employers in mind, it is also a good source for finding job listings that aren't your usual Monster/Dice/Stack Overflow. There are quite a few on that list which were new to me.

As a shameless plug, my email newsletter sends out weekly interviews with startups who are hiring developers, designers and product leads. You can find it here: http://startupfrontier.com

I'm Josh: just moved to Stockholm and looking for a job!

Background: highly technical skills as well as business. Degree in IT and recently completed MBA. However, I am NOT a typical MBA.

I can code and am currently learning Python and Ruby. I would love a position in development, product ownership, management, or any combination thereof! I'm pretty flexible with my career choices right now.
