Jack Goin discusses Twins job opening, etc. (Was: All right all you geniuses...)

[drjim]

Someone apply to this job!

Good to see the organization continue its march to 2000 technology levels.

[D. Hocking]

I am pretty sure someone here can do this.

 

 

 

• Must be able to sit for extended periods of time.
  

[gunnarthor]

I wonder if they'd hire me if I had none of the qualifications but really wanted the job.

[JB_Iowa]

Interesting find although just reading the qualifications pretty much gives me a headache.

 

And a warning to applicants, go look at all your social media postings about the Twins!!!

[Jack Goin]

Let me answer that for you. No.

[Brock Beauchamp]

It's pretty hilarious how my experience aligns exactly with their requirements.

 

Hmm.

 

Hmmmm.

Don't think I won't look through those to see all your smart ass comments.

Standard requirement for all job postings. That, along with ability to lift 55 lbs.

[JB_Iowa]

LOL. You'd find I'm very boring. And you'd find that I definitely lack 99% of the other qualifications.

 

Nice to see you post here again and good luck in finding a GREAT HIRE!

Thanks. it has been tough doing advanced analysis on an abacus and collecting scouting report info that has been filed on loose-leaf sheets of paper. The visual reporting is all done with pencil and paper sketches. Oh, and the fax machine will finally be retired.

[Craig Arko]

Well, if you used Oracle instead of SQL Server...

After the season, I hope you'll come back here and explain to us a little about how you've made use of the data provided by all the new censors, etc. put into TF. I remember reading a bit about mlb putting in new measuring devices prior to the season in some parks and know that TF was one.

 

Would really appreciate it if you could give us some insight when you aren't quite so busy.

[gunnarthor]

Let me answer that for you. No.

 

Dammit!

[Brock Beauchamp]

You'll really miss the "sniff the fresh stacks of mimeographs" Friday afternoons.

[zenser]

Damn, I may have to apply. I am qualified.

I have to admit, this job posting makes me wish I got into computer science instead of theology.

 

I'm pretty much demanding that Brock applies.

[Jack Goin]

Well, if you used Oracle instead of SQL Server...

Every job posting for a position similar to this with a club has required SQL Server experience.

This has to be a fake application - I don't see the requirements:

 

 

• Battling tail off.
  
• Develop the software the right way.
  
• Have a last name where you can add an "ie" at the end.

Don't forget the ability to "fire it through the Internet".

[oldguy10]

Great, funny stuff, folks, keep it going please!

[ScottyB]

I was a programmer 30 years ago, did a lot of software development, specializing in report writing. Think they could use someone with experience in BASIC and FORTRAN?

[drjim]

Any extra bonus points for analysis that comes up with former Twins to sign?

I hear AJ is looking for work......

Integer...

 

 

or floating point?

[DaveW]

• Ability to lift and transport items up to 55 lbs.
  

 

The Twins still have that bag of balls we traded JJ Hardy for?

Jim Hoey dislikes this comment, is not buying Dave a steak dinner, and is beginning to tear up a bit.

Or the ability to push through the pain of the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

[Craig Arko]

And maintain those XML downward plane propagations.

So would you let Jack know right away, or type with pain for a while until your queries keep spitting out Mike Pelfrey?

[LaBombo]

Will the interview include demonstrating a head-first slide into a cube to gauge enthusiasm and dedication?
