It's been pointed out to me that I worded my original message a bit ambiguously.

To be more explicit, I was laid off today.

So, if you know of any open roles that I might be a good fit for, please let me know.

Thanks in advance. πŸ™

@elazar - Sorry to hear the news.

FYI, my company #esri makes #location #technology and is actively hiring. Perhaps you might find an opportunity that fits?

@elazar I can't recommend my company based on how they treated people I've recommend in the past, but if you're willing to be rejected for dumB reasons... (That's dumb with a capital B for extra dumbness)

@omnicolor I appreciate integrity in that regard, good sir. I'm hopeful to find a good fit, but I'm also on something of a deadline. I'll keep you in mind. πŸ™

@afrozenpeach The recruiter I got in touch with is going on leave until 1/6, so that's the soonest I could get an interview. I'll keep you posted.

@elazar 2 things:

1) if you see anything on New Relic careers, dm me with a link and your resume. I'll make s referral, you'll get a follow up link to complete the application, and if you get the job, my referral bonus is yours (or goes to charity if you prefer. I'm not in it for the $$)

2) i collect job postings and share them weekly. Hit me up in dm to either get one week or get on the weekly email distro.

@leonadato Unfortunately, PHP and JS/TS are my primary languages and what I'm seeing on New Relic Careers is that they're mainly centered around Java, Ruby, Go, Python, and C#. I have some past experience with Java and Python, but I'd need some ramp-up time to modernize it. How varied are your weekly postings are from this skill set?

@elazar How would you prefer we get in touch? A company I contract with happens to be looking for someone with good PHP chops (but also interest in learning / adopting other things).
