..."soon some time off again"...

Are you thinking like that? Are you ready for a change in life? Do you have this feeling in your gut, or are you already surfing Finn.no for fun?

Vacations and days off generally make people think - to take a little timeout from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. And perhaps also stress? When the time comes to make a change in life, so often those thoughts of change begin right after time off, or just after small sandwiched holidays like the ones we have in May.

It may not be that long ago since Christmas break, Winter break or Easter break, but maybe THIS weekend might be the one where you decide to FINALLY start the process of applying for jobs?

And since you are reading this now, you have started the process.

We believe.

Actually.

So you can say "phew... finally summer vacation - and FINALLY a new job after five weeks of charging up... before it’s a "blank slate and a new start" next time you approach vacation time?

Or what do you think?

What if we're right?

Do we hit you in the heart, head, and gut?

Do you understand what we mean? Have we made you a little curious about who we are at ITverket and what we do?

Do you think we are a nice consulting company you want to learn more about?

We are not a particularly special company that stands out much in the crowd actually.

But the people here are special.

We believe you notice that as soon as you walk through our door.

Then it's usually a feeling of laughter and joy, either behind the kitchen island or at the ping pong table. AND if you want to get a little intro on who two of us are, click a little further down in the ad for a lovely little video clip.

We are pretty sure you'll crack a smile soon...

SO WHO DO WE WANT?

We want a social and genuinely good person who also must have a bit of good technical craftsmanship/have a bit of a technical mind from your master's degree and have good experience from worklife already. You must be passionate about your profession, but you may also be passionate about hobbies in life. We want a bit of passion in what you do, from profession to hobby. From participation in the social environment to the professional environment. We call that quality.

We actually want quality.

Our customers want quality.

And we are pretty sure that you, reading this, also have a desire to deliver quality.

Therefore, we especially want:

you to have experience with one or more of these technologies or concepts the keywords here represent: Java, Kotlin, REST, Spring, Maven, Git, Docker, Jenkins, Rundeck, Puppet, and DevOps.

you are interested in development, programming languages, frameworks, and technology. Maybe you have also worked with domain-driven design?

you can show frequent and continuous deliveries in your project CV.

you have experience with methodologies like infrastructure as code, automated integration and deployment (CI/CD), microservices, test-driven development. (Then we will be even more pleased to get your CV and application in the inbox).

you have a minimum of 5 years of experience in consultancy work, preferably with good experience with some of the technologies mentioned above.

"Soon some time off again":

The job advertisement from ITverket captures the reader's attention by beginning with a scenario that most can relate to. Vacations and days off are presented as moments for reflection and possible turning points in life. This is a quite unconventional way to write a job advertisement and a welcome breath of fresh air among all the checklists and generic benefits. It contributes to a more personal approach, making IT-verket's job posting engaging and relevant to a potential applicant. And importantly, this playful approach also says something about the company's humor and "personality." This makes it easier for a potential candidate to identify with the company's culture and values.

Creative Language:

ITverket stands out with creative and colorful language throughout the advertisement. From describing vacation periods as "timeout from everyday hustle and bustle" to using phrases like "phew... finally summer vacation," they create a vibrant and energetic tone. This makes the job advertisement stand out and leave a greater impression on potential candidates. When it comes down to it, would one rather work somewhere where everything is described in an impersonal and generic way, or at a company that dares to show humor and personality in a situation where one is expected to be quite serious? We know what we would choose!

Employee Interviews:

This provides insight into how people already working there experience their daily work life. This transparent approach gives a potential applicant a unique chance to understand the culture and dynamics of the organization. It also shows that IT-verket values its employees enough to let them share their experiences, creating trust and openness that are crucial for making an informed decision to apply for the position.

You enjoy acquiring new knowledge, understanding user needs, and are motivated by complex issues. At PST, we rarely solve problems alone, so we are looking for you, who are a good team player and who find it fun to share your expertise with others.

What can we offer you?

We may not be able to offer soft-serve ice cream machines and fancy coffee bars at work, but we believe you will search long before finding a more rewarding, interesting, and meaningful summer job! You will work hard, but we can promise you that you will look forward to getting up in the morning to go to work. Moreover, you will become part of the PST family and work closely with other employees in one of Norway's most unique professional environments. In addition, you will receive:

Real work experience

Project experience

Unique insight into PST's core areas

A taste of various work areas, for example, a professional day with the bodyguards with simple bodyguard tactics, close combat training, etc.

Application and Process

Application letters, copies of diplomas, and CVs are sent electronically via Webcruiter.

Potential candidates will be invited to video interviews. Testing of professional knowledge and personal suitability must be expected. All employees at PST must undergo security clearance and be authorized at the highest level. Therefore, you must meet the requirements for this. To be able to undergo security clearance, candidates must be willing to provide personal information about themselves and their closest relatives. You are encouraged to exercise discretion when applying for a position at PST. More information about this will be provided during the hiring process.

The program runs from week 25 to week 32. It will be possible to take up to one week of vacation in week 29. We aim to conduct interviews in weeks 43 and 44.

Clear Picture of Who They're Seeking:

In PST's "Summer Internship" advertisement, it's very clear what type of candidates they're seeking. PST aims to develop a diverse team of skilled technologists who not only have strong technical skills but also the ability to collaborate and share knowledge. This gives potential applicants a clear understanding of who they are looking for, making the advertisement targeted and effective.

Simple and Readable Text:

The text in the "Summer Internship" advertisement at PST is simple and readable. It uses a direct and understandable language, making the information accessible to a wide range of readers. This emphasizes PST's desire to be accessible and inclusive. The simple text also provides a sense of clarity, which is important when seeking candidates who may be experiencing their first foray into the workforce and testing their new skills outside of studies.

Clear Explanation of the Interview Process:

PST is transparent about how the interview and hiring process will take place. They explain clearly that applicants will be invited to video interviews, and that testing of both technical knowledge and personal suitability will be conducted. Furthermore, they share important information about security clearance and authorization, providing applicants with insight into the specific requirements for the position. This openness is crucial, especially when it comes to positions related to security services. It gives applicants a clear understanding of what to expect throughout the hiring process, which is especially important when seeking candidates who are in education/new graduates. This is something more companies could have drawn inspiration from in our opinion. After all, who really likes showing up for an interview process without knowing what to expect, whether you're new to your career or have come a long way?
