Would You Bid for a Job?
Roland Piquepaille writes "Several U.S. hospitals have found an innovative way to deal with nursing shortage. They post shift openings and the highest hourly rate they're willing to pay on their internal networks. Then, the nurses bid online for these extra shifts. The lowest bidders get the shifts and are notified by e-mail. This bidding process is almost certainly a good thing for the hospitals, but is it good for the nurses? Or safe for you? And what will happen if other industries also adopt auction systems? Imagine a company telling you, "Hey, you want to make some extra dollars by building this car or writing this piece of software? Name your price, and you'll make some more cash." What do you think of this bidding process? Read more before posting your comments."
This is totally off-topic and your attempt at being funny failed!
Are you a software engineer? If so, I have a few interview questions for you. Send me an email at balkanboy@hotmail.com. If we can arrange an online meeting to see what your 25 years of experience can bring to the table, I will tell you where you can get a job quite soon. You may have to relocate to WAshington though.
