Symfony jobs resources list

Posted: August 8th, 2009 | Author: Marc | Filed under: your-job | Tags: , | 3 Comments »

So you’ve learned symfony, you’re experienced with it and wants to find a job related to it! That’s a good news as a lot of companies are seeking symfony experienced developers right now. Here is a way for you to be easily findable, or to find a job easily.

  1. Fill in the wiki

    The first step is to write a little thing about yourself in the Symfony Project Wiki. There is a dedicated page to symfony developers for hire.

  2. Check symfonians.net

    Symfonians.net is a community which sticks together the coder, the companies, the projects and the jobs related to symfony. Check the jobs page, which is updated really often. Don’t hesitate to register and complete your profil. It can be useful for companies.

  3. Twitter

    There’s a lot of things going on there, from the freshest symfony news to futile conversation. Monitor the “symfony” keyword and follow this bunch of tweeps: @fabpot (symfony project leader), @LaurentLC (Sensiolabs’ badass), @skoop (Community manager), @kriswallsmith (former community manager & 1.3-1.4 release manager), @jwage (Doctrine project’s lead developer), @denderello (symfony evangelist), @hhamon (Dev @ sensio), @th0masr (Creator of the famous swToolboxPlugin), @n1k0 (Creator of Symfonians.net), @symfony, @symfonynews. Oh, And don’t forgot to follow me and say hi: @futurecat :-)
    You will find a much more complete list of symfony heads using twitter on wefollow.

  4. LinkedIn

    In your race of being as much visible as possible, you could also join the symfony users group on LinkedIn.To be honest, i’m not a very big linked in user, so I don’t really know what’s going on there.

  5. RSS & Google Alerts

    Searching  job offers is boring. So use your favorite rss reader and subscribe to RSS feeds of job listing webservices. You can also use google alerts, to create an alert based on the keyword of your choice (”Symfony jobs” might be a good start).

I don’t think this list is really finished, so I will update it when I got new tips. Don’t hesitate to share your resources by posting a comment, I’ll add them here and greet you ;-)

    Awesome – picked up a few symfony people I was missing on twitter :). Also, I believe skoop is Community Manager only and kriswallsmith is the 1.3-1.4 release manager.

    Plenty of Symfony action in Nashville USA – so, just move here if you’re looking for a symfony job ;)

    You must edit this post, dude; the best way for french people to get a Symfony job, at Sensiolabs (where else could you enjoy more..?), is to DM me directly.
