TIOBE Index--Where are the Jobs?

TIOBE Index--Where are the Jobs?

[R.B. Love]

So if Ada is up in the index, does that imply more hiring?  Suddenly 
it's not an  academic question for me.

I'm watching NASA agree to a proposal to convert 3.2 million SLOCs of 
Ada to C++ and the contractor promises they can do it cheaply and 
reliably and operate the system with fewer people.  NASA seems to be 
buying it.  Not demanding any proof of concept  or trial, just 
committing to it.   Incredible.


Is there a source for Ada jobs on-line.  Yes, I can do general searches 
but if there is any speciality listing I'd appreciate knowing about it.

Hi,

Perhaps we would be hiring, but unfortunately the con artists Efacec (
WWW.Efacec.Pt
) and FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia,
HTTP://Alfa.FCT.MCTES.Pt/
) have still owed us monies for years.

You could try sifting through the noise on
WWW.FlipDog.com/jobs/ada/2/
and
WWW.OdinJobs.com/Odin/jobs.jspx?s=ADA&jr=Business+Analyst&rvn=1

In "Ada User Journal", Ada Europe quotes from job listings but
unhelpfully edits out such useful information as where the jobs were
advertised or who the employers were.

Thomas Løcke who sometimes contributes to this newsgroup (and who
apparently spends time on I.R.C. (Internet Relay Chat)) had a
recruitment advertisement (not for programming) on
HTTP://Responsum.Dk/index.php/job
today, but it would still be worth asking him.

DK-2730 Herlev,
Denmark.

Tel  : +45 33488200
Fax  : +45 33488220
Mobil: +45 24247138
WWW.Responsum.Dk

Unlike other people in the Ada community such as Björn Persson, Thomas
Løcke does not take a job application as an opportunity to abusively
make fun of a victim of the C++ con artists.

I do not know of any Ada vacancies at the moment, but if you ask Ada
Denmark then Ada Denmark would be nice enough to ask its members. If
you contact me personally, then I could mention to you some others who
might try to help you find an Ada job who might not appreciate me
mentioning them on Usenet, along with further tips (related to abusive
members of the community) gleaned from my experiences of applying for
Ada jobs.

Good luck, society screws the competent,

Hello,

Last month a new recruitment advertisement was hyperlinked to from
HTTP://People.CS.KULeuven.Be/~dirk.craeynest/ada-belgium/jobs/

The September 2010 issue of "Ada User Journal" arrived yesterday, with
the identities of employers in edited recruitment advertisements
unhelpfully edited out as usual. You could search the Internet for
excerpts from the advertisements to try to find the original
advertisements.

Good luck,
Paul Colin Gloster
