Austin Really Is Weird!

Whereas Austin is a very high-tech area, with lots of big tech companies, there always seems to be a dearth of tech job listings for Austin. I am starting this blog to serve as a hub of resources and job-seeker tips for the tech professional in Austin.

Of course, tech companies are not the only source of tech jobs. Companies, large and small, in all industries employ technology professionals to design, develop, and manage technology for their interests. Take Home Depot, for example. They are not a tech company, but they have a huge data center in Austin that employs many tech professionals.

On the left side of the page you will see a collection of links and RSS feeds which pertain to Austin tech jobs. I will add new sites and feeds as I discover them. Currently, the links have a decidely "database" flavor to them, as my expertise is data architecture and data modeling. But I intend for this to become technologically ecumenical and be a good resource for all tech jobs in (and near) Austin. Please comment on this (or future) post if you know of a cool site or feed that should join this collection.

I am planning to add links for all of the major companies and tech headhunters in Austin. I have a list which is now outdated, but I will use that as my springboard. I am planning to get company and contact info for as many of Austin's tech employers as I can.

Please email suggestions, comments, and info to rca2.austinjobs@blogger.com.
