  • Comment
More articles
It’s been almost a year (15th November 2011) since we announced the open beta of the Nexus Mod Manager. Since then the software has been installed on over 1.1 million PCs and counting. Back in March we hired on our first full-time programmer to keep NMM updated and improve on the program and now we’re looking for another programmer to join our team and help us push NMM in to a full release candidate.

Applicants need to be experienced in .NET and C#. It will be the duty of the .NET developer to continue improving and expanding the scope of the Nexus Mod Manager while working on fixing bugs and stability issues with the current code alongside DuskDweller, our current resident NMM programmer.

If you are an experienced .NET programmer with at least 3 years of experience and are looking for a job, please head over to the job page for more information. Be sure to send in a CV and previous examples of your work to the email address provided.

    In my country, I should demonstrate my skills and documented years of experience - doesn't matter. A lot of young talent started from Upwork and same platforms - so how they will show an experience?

    I have been programming in .NET and C# for the past 4 - 5 years.
    My only question is: Are you paying for this job? I don't have time to program for free and I'm already working in a part-time job as a programmer.
    If you do pay for this, please send me a Private Message and I would love to know more details.

    WTF!! I will need at least another life to play XCOM if you mod it. The first one was thrilling, and the Apocalypse, also quite good. The second one was quite similar to the first, underwater. The rest of them have such an ill reputation that I did not resolve to play them. Let's see if by my retirement time...

    Except in my country when they say 3 years experience that actually means everyone who doesn't have 3 well documented work years is immediately removed from the list of candidates.

    Many people in my country would say the same thing and it is definitely true in some companies, especially some of the larger ones with rigid recruitment procedures.
    But it's far to be true in every company. If you can exhibit a good portfolio (especially the kind of portfolio you have if you knew how to program at the time you joined college and used those years to polish those skills and build softwares instead), it may very well turn things in your favor.

    Think about it. What does one year experience needed mean? You can achieve the regular tasks you're assigned to without being cared of. A portfolio is actually a solid way to demonstrate this capacity.
    Now what does three years of experience mean? You matured enough to be able to properly handle a reasonable project alone, from design to implementation. Again, this is something a portfolio can demonstrate.

    Finally, if your portfolio allows the recruiter to look at your code and be pleased by what he sees, then you just lifted a great deal of the information asymmetry that penalizes any candidate and gave yourself a quite substantial bonus.

    This is probably not the right place for debating how to get a job, but still, here's my 2 cents:

    I've been recruiting IT people for many years (been a IT manager and such for 10 years) and I've been holding some 200 interviews. In my not-so-humble opinion, paper merits are one thing, but personality and attitude counts for a lot more than you might think. For instance, there are several posts in this thread that would make me disqualify the posters from any job I have to offer, regardless fo formal qualifications. I won't be pointing any fingers, but in general, you might consider using a more polite and respectful language.

    What I see, is that many people who wouldn't dream of being impolite IRL, are using a very arrogant and aggressive attitude on the net. Believe me, if you keep that up, it will color your IRL behaviour too.

    Basically, my point is, if you really want a job, be a little more careful with how you express yourself.

    (Oh, and someone thought we should include the country when posting: I work in Sweden, for a multinational IT company.)

    @GixTheMage - it is possible to get a job without meeting the "x number of years" requirement. i've done it before. i was hired with 0 years industry experience, just based off of what i showed in my portfolio (most of which was mods i uploaded here in the nexus, btw). so if i were you, i would not think so negatively and just build up a portfolio of your best examples. no one in their right mind will automatically throw away your application if the quality of your work meets their expectations.

    So yeah, make like banana and don't speak of that which you know nothing about.

    @Gix. I can't tell you how many internships while I'm currently in college I've had to turn down. There are a lot of people looking for technology jobs, whether it be a codemonkey position or just an IT job. Your college will help you out with finding a job. Don't say its impossible to find a job, when 80% of new recruits come from interns at colleges.

    Also. If you really want "experience" create your own files and programs using these languages. The IDE's are able to be downloaded. If you don't have experience "in the field" with it, you can submit programs saying "yeah, I built this from scratch".

    To be honest, if you have a degree from a college (and not a tech school) you should have some pretty good examples of programs, they may not be .NET but at least some C language examples. I'm leading an internship right now, and I have a freshman in the internship. He knows how to do things way more advanced than his current course level, whether it be standard css styling or javascript/sql injection. You can learn and create stuff on your own.

    TLR stop complaining about needing experience when you can research and learn the language spending many hours a day and come out knowing more than some one with 3+ years of experience.

    ALSO: if you look at the actual job page, it says University Graduates are welcome to apply.

    PS: Before anyone posts "In my country it isn't this way". At least give me your countries name

    The General Manager of my Hotel actually has many years of programming and has developed programs that run other businesses as well as other things. If you wouldn't mind a bit of info as to what sort of pay / hours of work are needed ( I"m not a programmer of any sorts but i know he'd love this) either in comment or inbox I would more than appreciate it... Either way, it's pretty awesome to offer someone a place of employment on a site like this (an awesome one to say the least)... Thanks

    I wish, I would, if I could. While this is perfect for me, since its C# and not anything else. I am still going to college to learn programming.
