<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I am interested in setting up a web
site that addresses the advantages of hiring entry level people in Linux/Unix
positions within companies. This information will be useful to companies
that are considering generating positions for entry level admins but are
uncertain what kind of advantages and disadvantages are involved. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Is there anyone here on the list who
can offer any insight to the following questions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Have you found hiring entry level *nix employees
advantageous? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) What kind of positions do you generally hire
them into?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3) Does the fact that they are being trained in
your specific environment for the first time help ensure that they do not have
to 'unlearn' wrong things that were taught at other companies?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Any other insight you have for employers
considering generating entry level Linux/Unix people would be helpful.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Thanks for your time.</FONT></DIV>
