Except for the part where it happened all the time until people got jaded and stopped caring.

Didn't Bishop Steiner apply once?

I'll send in my resume, but I'd be a fluffy idea guy. My engineering expertise is in fixing broke and poorly designed ****.....

It's entirely possible that they just never got around to updating their page, I guess :D.

Did he make sure to conceal his forum name?

I looked at that a while back. They aren't looking for a database guy, so I'm out. If they ever needed to do any BI or data warehousing, I might pop my name in there.

I actually toyed with the idea of applying for the project manage position at one time but the whole "move to canada" thing isn't going to happen lol No interest in relocating that far off. It still amazes me that a company has that much difficulty filling positions over a period of years

If I am not mistaken, the issues of PGI and their endlessly open job positions has been discussed previously... the gist of it being low salaries, not so great benefits, and having to move to Canada being the top three problems.

I tried applying but apparently my Davion Honourary degrees in medicine, Mech machinery, computer systems, and FUBAR management skills, don't actually count as qualifications.... I knew I should have just accepted the bonus Cbills rather than ask for something fancy.

Heh, if you're a developer, you want to work in a city where you have access to other jobs easily if this one falls through or it turns out you don't like it. Vancouver isn't exactly a hotbed video game design. Actually, it's quite the opposite.
