‘What Am I Bid for These Geeks?’
EBay calls itself “your personal trading community.” Now it can rename itself “your PERSON trading community.”
On Monday, a seller listed a complete team of 16 Internet service provider engineers, opening the bidding at a whopping US$3.14 million.
The description for the auction says that the team works for a major ISP and is willing to leave as a group. Buyers are limited to companies in Silicon Valley.
The $3.14 million figure includes the salary of one director, three managers, seven senior engineers, and five administrators, along with a $320,000 signing bonus.
Open an ebay account and try it.
You can sell your skills under a couple of catagories like “business”, “industrial” or any titile that is specific to the industry you’re interested in.
Place yourself under every sub category where an employer browsing the site is likely to look and which is relevant to your background. For example a dental hygienist would want to be in: “Healthcare Lab”and “Life Sciences” under medical equipment, equipment, and medical instruments.
Put in a price that is your median salary request, – for example $35,000 – because most people set their search options to sort their results by price.
Try an auction too.
Send links to your ad to your friends and ask them to forward the link to your ad throughout their network.
Compliments of David Perry and Kevin Donlin
