Now Hiring For Customer Service Position

We are looking to hire a new customer service person!  We need someone that loves speaking with people and knows their way around a computer.  No, we don't need you to be able to fix computers per se, but we do need you to be able to help people that sometimes don't know a whole lot about them. Here are a few details about the job description and requirements:  
  • Answering the Phone - We need someone that is personable, empathetic and a problem solver that can help people when they call us.
  • Answering Emails - In addition to the above, we need someone that can write well and provide responses that will help people when they e-mail.
  • Help Out Where Needed - We may need you to help us test new features or run an errand or post to our facebook page or do some research on the web for us.  The point is that we need someone that is willing to go the extra mile.
  • Full-Time - This is a full time only position for our office in Jackson, MO.  The hours are 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday.
Interested?  If so, e-mail us your resume and put the following for the subject: [Your Name] - Customer Service Position.  You can send it to Micky McQuade.  His e-mail is his first name @vintagesoftware.com.  In addition to your resume, please send a response to the following sample tech support question (yes, it is a little silly):

"Your eggs are always broken!  Every time I go to your grocery store, I start at the back and work my way forward.  First, I pick out my eggs, then my milk, and then all the other stuff I'm going to cook for the week.  By the time I get home, my eggs are ALWAYS broken.  Can you all fix this?!?  I think I might have to start shopping down the street!


Sincerely,

Barry UpsetAchou" 


Yes, it is definitely silly, but we'd like to see your response to Barry.  Don't forget to attach your resume and feel free to ask any questions as well.  






We're Hiring - Are You Looking?

 

We are looking for a well rounded .NET developer to help our small internet company. We are a family run business that is growing more and more each year. We run a very large web site for estate sale companies and estate sale "goers" (between 4 and 5 million page views a month).  In addition to adding new features to our current site, we have several other web sites that need to be designed and developed.

This job will give lots of experience with the many aspects of running a large web site. A lot of attention will need to be paid to SQL and ways to improve the performance of the database. Experience developing for a large web site is desired but not required. Experience writing and tuning SQL queries is required. Experience writing web apps is required.

The ideal candidate should have the following skillset:

  • C#
  • VB.NET
  • ASP.NET
  • SQL
  • HTML/CSS
  • Javascript

That's it! The only reason VB.NET is listed is because we have some old code in VB.NET that will at some point be rewritten into C#. All development is done in C# so a strong background with C# is greatly desired.

Our goal is to make this a job that you brag about to your family and friends. We have realistic goals and we take your estimates to make our timelines. This is NOT a high stress work environment. All we expect is top notch work from someone friendly. :)

Resumes can be sent to micky@vintagesoftware.com. A cover letter or email with salary requirements would be appreciated.  This is for a full-time position in Jackson, MO (no telecommuting on this one).  Did you know that Jackson, MO was voted by CNN Money as the 59th best small town to live in?  :)
