Every two weeks, we’ll post published job offers in an article under the category ‘Jobs’, which will also be sent out to our e-mail newsletter subscribers. The 5 latest jobs will also be featured in the homepage sidebar.

For job seekers, the job board features a handy way of filtering outstanding job offers by occupation (consulting, development, marketing, etc.) and type (full-time, part-time, internship, etc.). Should there be no results for your query, the application will show jobs from other recruitment websites and portals, if available. The job board comes with a dedicated RSS feed you can subscribe to in your favorite feed reader.

The job board is powered by Job-A-Matic, a SimplyHired service.

IT job board Dice has announced that in the last six months, it’s seen postings for jobs requiring experience with VMware products surge 40 percent, reports eWeek.

“The numbers have grown significantly,” reportedly said Tom Silver, senior vice president of marketing and customer support at Dice.

Silver attributed the growth in job postings in this area to companies realizing that there are significant cost savings associated with virtualization, coupled with the move to make data centers greener, as they require less resources to run more quickly and cleanly.

Companies besides VMware, which once had the market largely to itself, have also taken notice of the trend, with Citrix Systems, Microsoft, Red Hat, Sun and Oracle also focusing heavily on virtualization technology.

Silver said he sees jobs in this are as an ideal career move for a programmer or project manager.

Illuminata analyst Gordon Haff also wieghed in saying he feels that virtualization is such a buzzword these days, there’s a lot of confusion as to what it actually is.

“Everyone is calling everything virtualization these days. Though actual virtualization has had a big spike in interest, too, and I have no doubt that the demand for people who have worked with VMware [has] gone up by a lot, it still may turn out to be a little over-hyped,” Haff said.

Haff also argued that virtualization work is less on the developer side of the house, and more operational in nature.

On a related note, we plan to integrate our virtualization job board into Virtualization.com real soon!
