I'll do my best to be straight up and honest with you and keep this as
short as possible. Ticketmaster, in West Hollywood, CA really has a
great team of talented admins and we're looking to add two more. You'll
be hard pressed to find a team with as much experience and knowledge in
high-volume web systems as you'll find at Ticketmaster but that should
be a positive for you! It's a chance to be a part of something special
where your own skills and interests can help to shape our team and
enable us to provide the best service possible. I think you can imagine
the type of infrastructure it takes to get pounded on like we do during
our big ticket "on sales."



That being said, I'd really appreciate it if you could make your user
group membership aware of this opportunity. If someone is an admin with
significant experience in linux and web hosting, they can feel free to
drop me an email. If they'd like a job description I can send also, but
honestly, think major web house, lots of linux and open source tools,
etc. If you're a senior engineer over here though, you are expected to
have the ability to do coding on some level. Basically, with as many
systems as we have, we expect most things to be automated and any new
people to the team would play a part in the future of these systems.



In terms of the things your membership might be most interested in...
Ticketmaster's offers are very competitive including a very complete
benefits package (e.g., Medical, Dental, Vision, FSA, 401K plan, etc.).
Yeah, I'm sure that we can pique a strong player's interest and make it
worth their while if we talk ;) We have two open roles so there really
isn't any competition. We'll happily relocate a best friend from back
home if that's necessary so I'm asking people to big since it may be
just the right time to work with one of your colleagues from the past!



I hope that you don't mind this direct contact and will make this role
known to your membership. Please ask your group to not be shy.

They can call or drop me an email. BTW: I am a Ticketmaster employee and
do not represent any outside agency. I have been with Ticketmaster for
over 6 years so I know how this company ticks.

Regards,

Todd
