A friend of mine is looking to make the move to our beautiful city ASAP, but I know it can be tough for a non-native-Charlottesvillian who didn't graduate from UVA to get their foot in the door around here. What qualities are you looking for in a new employee? Any suggestions of companies for an experienced mySQL database admin/ web dev to apply to?

My company is looking for a data analyst...which basically means you'd be writing and running queries based on data that is requested by anyone in the company. Our data structure is a mess and is slowly getting better as we complete new development projects. I've been doing this job for about a year along with QA for our dev team but it got to be too much for one person so I had to dial back the data requests to focus on QA. Shoot me a PM if this sounds appealing to your friend. It's a great company to work for and we're working in a pretty progressive and interesting field.
We are always looking for awesome people. We like people with a wide breath of experience with a history of getting things done. We would would be glad to talk to him. Even if it's not a match we can at least give him some good advice. PM me and I'll make the introductions.
