[Jobposts] Systems Programmer II

[Fazia Begum Rizvi]

(TIP: This is a University job - and the beginning of the job application 
process is very "by the book". You _must_ fill out the application form 
and include the job code. Keep in mind that the application form is pretty 
important to the process, even if you include a resume, so take the time 
to fill it out well in order to present yourself well. Also keep in mind 
that the process can be very _slow_. And no, I'm not the person hiring, 
but the opening is in my group.)
