DBA jobs...Advise plz

Hi All ,
I am struggling to find Jr Oracle DBA jobs in the current market . I have done my Masters here in US but I haven't been successful in finding a Jr Oracle DBA job here . I have around 1 yr of experience as a DBA . Can you please guide me into finding a suitable DBA job .
Advise is honestly appreciated.
Thanks!!!!!!!!

I agree with Helio Dias' suggestion to seek out helping some non-profit organizations, but of course, that won't pay back your student loan or pay your rent.
You may consider applying yourself to the various staffing agencies (job shops). They have a myriad of job opportunities, and many of them specifically looking for Jr. DBAs. I know at our company, I personally had a posting for a Jr. DBA which we eventually filled through a staffing agency.
I don't see where you are from, but in our area, some of the more commonly known agencies are: TechUSA, TEAM, TAC, AeroTek, Maxim Group, NRI (Network Resources Inc.), SAIC, and countless others. Do a google search on staffing agencies <your town>.
Many of the jobs are temporary, but many of them are temp-to-perm. And don't discount the temporary jobs because you will learn a lot and gain a lot of diversified experience from them.
Good luck.

Oracle DBA Jobs

Hello All,
Please don't mind my question if I have violated the purpose of the forum and if so then I am really sorry.
I have been working in Oracle Database Administration since almost 3.4 years. I have mostly worked on Dev-Test Platforms where we maintain zero downtime. I do not have any hands on RAC or much knowledge . I have worked on 10g,11g.
I know the concepts and methods of implementing Data guard (standby), I have worked on RMAN(duplication,incremental backup,complete/incomplete recovery and etc),expdp/impdp and exp/imp, little amount of scripting (SQL/Shell), basic Server management(mostly have exp on Linux), Installation of RDBMS/ASM, Creation of Databases(manually/DBCA), Security(privs,roles,auditing), Tablespace and other logical structure management, HOT backup,Cold backup(and restoration from it), Database upgradation,patching(PSU, one-off,inventory attach/detach), Tracing, SQL Loader, standby monitoring and creation, Database Monitoring and maintenance, segment management and defragmentation, Database object maintenance, Configuration of OEM etc, handling different types of Oracle errors including critical errors like 600,7445 etc... Reading and extracting AWR/ASH..
Can I get a job outside of my present company? As I am not seeing much growth there.. Not even getting to have exposure to other platforms.. Most of the companies want RAC personal.
Please suggest and help me (if possible).. I am really in tension about what will be there in my future as here I will never get to work in RAC and high availibility architecture ..
That is the reason now I am thinking to switch my company for better technological growth..
What areas should I know in this phase of my career. pls suggest.. I am from INDIA
-Regards
Struggling DBA

Whether you will get another job is an entirely local matter. Ask a local recruiter how the job market is for DBAs. In my local area (in the US), it seems like there is a decent amount of demand for DBAs, but you might be working in a local economy that is stagnant.
Chances are, in 2013, that any new DBA job will involve some element of database redundancy.
Within a few years, I suspect that most places will have either RAC or Exadata systems for their critical databases. It'll probably take a significant outage before most companies will spend the cash for clustered systems, but they will eventually move that way. Even Oracle's Database Machine is a RAC configuration if you think about it - and that's what they're trying to pitch to the smaller customers.
I remember that about 10 years ago, RAC was rare (I remember installing RAC 9.2.0.1 for a client - boy, that was DIFFICULT). 'All' that you had to do to be a DBA then, was understand single-instance stuff.
Five years later, most DBAs needed to know RAC/ASM/Data Gurd if they wanted to be Production DBAs - they then had to understand single-instance, cluster, ASM and Data Guard stuff.
I can see that within a couple of years, DBAs will have to be competent in Exadata or similar - so they'll need to understand single-instance, cluster, ASM, Data Guard AND Exadata stuff (networking, storage cells, etc).
My point is that the DBA role changes as fast as any tech specialty. Thankfully, Oracle's is making things easier to administer as the technologies we have to master become more complex: I can vouch for how difficult 9.2.0.1 was to set up for RAC - managing an 11.2 system is SO much nicer!
Unless you're working in a place that have no plans to upgrade their databases (due to legacy systems) or to grow as a business, then the chances are you will eventually be exposed to what you're looking for. Of course, if you're working in such a place, then it might be suggested that you're better off finding somewhere else to work. To stand still is to roll backwards, etc....
Good luck. It's good to be ambitious, but don't forget that a DBA role is one that absolutely demands experience - if you've 3 years of being a Production DBA and having to get THAT call in the middle of the night, you've probably got better experience than someone who has spent 6 years as a Development DBA (IMO).

How to get that dba job

Hi All,
I am a dba rookie holding an OCA. Due to my limited experience I am finding it very difficult to get that job. A lot of the junior dba jobs posted on job sites are fake. How can I offer my services to employers directly? It has been a very long time since I am sitting at home, going through oracle documentation and playing with the databases I have at home.
Please help me.

I am definitely no career counselor so this might be meaningful as career advice from the guy with the squeegee at the stop light. There are a lot of answers to your question and this just my "pointer." (Basically the "foot in the door" trick.)
Are you limiting your search entirely to jobs posted as DBA jobs? You may want to look for other positions you are qualified for in the companies you are interested in. Even if means entering the company below (entry-level) where you feel you should be. If you have experience and a degree in a related field you might search in that area first. In some companies positions like Business Analyst get you direct exposure to the people and experience you need for your resume. Or you might look for something along internship, contract, or temporary lines to get you in.

How to know how long the dba jobs ran?

How would I know how long the dba jobs ran.I am not sure about dba_jobs.total_time.Is there any way or data dictionary to find the how long the dba jobs ran?

Hi,
Oracle recommends use of dbms_scheduler rather than dbms_job on 10g or higher.
If you do switch to dbms_scheduler, run duration for all job runs is available in the all_scheduler_job_run_details view and the run duration of the last job run is available from the all_scheduler_jobs views.
This is one of the several benefits to switching to dbms_scheduler.
Hope this helps,
Ravi.

Job scenario plz help

Dear Experts
In the following scenario plz help.
in the job work tht client is doing. we r making a production order of a NON VALUATED DUMMY MATERIAL.
the raw material which the customer gave to us was lets say 100 kg.
after doing the job work i.e. after confirming the producion order the quantity made is 105 kg.
I have to give customer only 100 kg.
so rest 5 kg is in my stock.
client want to convert it into its valuated stock.
can u please help in mapping this scenario in SAP

One suggestion,
Do with tcodes, after you can do it with BAPI's
1. Do an entry of subproducts: mov 531 with tcode MB11
2. Do a transfer between materials (from a free good to a valuated good): mov 309 with tcode MB1B
I hope this help you,
Regards,
Eduardo

Need Oracle DBA Job

Hi All,
This Karnan, i have finished BCA(Computer Application) 2008, and i did oracle9i DBA OCP,
I was not able to get into Oracle DBA as a fresher.
Finally Nov-2009, i got job in POLARIS SOFTWARE LAB ltd., as Software Tester.
I'm very much passion about in Oracle, i want to be a DBA only,
Please any one guide me how to get entered in ORACLE DBA as a fresher,
or let me know if you know about companys whho's hiring freshers for oracle.
Thanks,
Karnan Thambidurai

Well, I am not sure that how does this question fits in the database general forum in any ways. If it should be posted( please note the "if") , the most suitable place would the Community discussion forum.
I am not from HR background so please take my advice with grain of salt. When you would be working as a contractor, there would be two ways for this thing. One , you own your company so all the payments , invoices would be on your own company's name. If that's so, no issues. You can always show those invoices. The other way , using which the contract work is done is that you are hired by company X but you end up working for company Y. So company Y doesn't give you anything but your company X is supposed to give you whatever paper work is needed. So see if this is your case.
Whatever the thing may be, the HR of the next company won't stick to the pay slip only provided you can prove that you worked and the money you got for that work was a legal, taxable amount. As long as you can prove that by whatevre kind of document, you are good. That said, you haven't yet started and you are thinking about leaving too! At least do the job first for some time before you care about what the next company's Hr would say since you can always ask them all of these doubts.
Again, please note that Iam not from HR , never was or will be so all what I said is purely based on what I know how things work but any of my words are not at all authoritative.

DBA Job Profile as Career

Hi Guys
I am currently working on PL/SQL and ORACLE Database. I am thinking of choosing Oacle DBA as my career path.
I'd like to know how's the growth of DBA's (in terms of salary) and scope in IT industry (in INDIA) compare to other IT job profile .
I heard that DBA's have to work for long hours , it's kind of boring job ,DBA's have to provide support 24 hours and there is no personal life for DBA's, Is it true guys?
I want to know how is DBA's job profile considering salary , personal life and all other aspects so I can choose DBA path on long term basis.
Please give me your suggestion guys.

I heard DBA's have to work 24*7 in shifts to maintain databases in Production Environment.All DBA's have to do so or there are other scenarios also.
And in which case or what kind of project DBA's work in normal working hours.
Please Guide
"I heard "

Girl: On the internet
Guy: And you believed it?
Girl: Sure. They can't put anything on the internet that isn't true

============================================================================
All DBA's have to do so or there are other scenarios also
Well, that pretty well sums it up ... either all DBA's work 24*7 ... or they don't.
Don't you suppose that what is required of a DBA .. of anyone .. at a particular company ... at any company ... depends on the particular company and it's business requirements?
============================================================================
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."
(Lewis Carroll - Through the Looking Glass)
And so it is with job titles. Any given job title means only and exactly what the organization chooses it to mean -- "neither more nor less".
============================================================================
You have to ask yourself why you think you want to become a dba .. or any other profession. Is it for the money? Do you enjoy walking a tightrope without a net? Is the money worth it? I've been reading a lot of Benjamin Franklin lately. One of his favorite phrases is "don't spend too much for the whistle." Or one of my favorites, "Don't spend you life climbing a ladder just to discover it was leaning against the wrong wall."

Great article for new DBA's who are trying to get that first DBA job.

I just came across this article, pretty informative, answers some questions I had when I first started. You can read it here

Yeah. God forbid I want new DBA's to read my article that is 100% relevant to this board and this topic. Hardly the same thing as Viagra Pills or African MILF's in your Area. The second post was an error, apologies.

My credit building journey, lots of random questions, advise plz

First of all, thank you so much to everyone here. I have spent the last few days reading. A lot of lingo to learn. (Luv button was my favorite) (or PYDBDB) haha. And its totally worth it! Basically my credit is fair/good. I was lazy in building it. Going through anti credit card phase just to be unique. Always paid in cash. Bad mistake. Basically the only neg on my report is 3 missed payments from 1 of my student loans (which is an ERROR). Everything else is in good standing. No chargeoffs. No collections. No bks. If you are in a rush, just look at my BOLD or underlined parts if you could please.
care credit 6/13 CL $6800
credit one 4/14 CL $850
Buckle store card 5/14 CL $500
cap1 qs 12/14 CL $3k
commerce bank 10/14 CL $2k
amazon store card 4/15 CL $800
sams club PLCC 5/15 CL $1200Amex Everyday 5/15 CL $5k util is now around 15%.
If my oldest account is from june of 2013 (care credit), and my second oldest is from april 2014 (the credit one), my score is currently at EQ 669,TU 659 myfico of 688. do u think I really should close the creditone? Has a $49 AF. I could probably close the credit one, but I just paid my annual fee less than 2 months ago. I think I should wait until a month before they charge the fee, and cancel it then, say march of 2016? I would not be where I am today without it. It has served its purpose.
I am kinda thinking my average age of accounts is going to be screwed anyway with all these new cards, and maybe closing the creditone wont make that big of a difference, and then I can garden? My AAOA says its currently 2 years 10 months.. I really was NOT wanting the sams club private label credit card. I was hoping to get the synchrony bank master card and be able to get the special $50 off $100 deal and get extra cash back on top of our plus membership. They would not approve me even though I have care credit and amazon, yet give me a $1200 limit on a non master card. The other lady at the counter told me they never approve people for the MC version. It would have been foolish for me to say no to the non MC, since they did a HP, plus at that point I did not have amex approval, and only $1k limit on my cap1 qs. If my AAOA goes way down, I guess I have 30 days to cancel the new card and just accept the HP as a loss, right? I have 7 HPs on my TU, 2 on my EQ, but that does not include my sams club or AMEX applications from this month. Only 2 of the 7 are from the last 6 months.My score is so low because of a student loan error 90 days past due, even though it wasnt, and I have written in about 5 letters and can't get it removed. On all the simulators, I have seen my score would instantly be 740-780 without the error. Ugh. What should I do about this? Keep sending in more letters? When I call in the rep always says I wont have any problem in getting it removed but that isnt the case. I was even thinking life would be better with them being serviced by a new company, but heck no... Question,
I am preapproved for a discover IT card, do you think I should go ahead and take it? I applied for one 3/14 and was declined only due to 80%util (thanks to my care credit for a relative). The EO I spoke with for the recon a year ago basically told me once my util is below 30 I would guaranteed get approved. I honestly don't need it. I do like their cashback, basically doubling it for car rentals or flowers..... maybe I should wait and apply for it once my 15 months of no interest expires on my new amex? After hitting the luv button on my credit steps cap1 qs (no AF) and going from $1k to $3k...I am thinking I could just do a lot with that card, groceries/gas on AMEX, and be fine.
I cant believe some of the stuff I have learned about. Terms like Stoozing. People making money off of no interest cash advances by placing them in a higher yield savings account. As tempting as that sounds, and not to be judgemental, I think in the time it would take me to do all that I could focus my time and energy into something and make just as much money. But thats just me. I do love couponing/frugaling and I think its a unique/cool idea though. I also enjoyed reading about app-o-rama's. That is an interesting strategy. I don't think with my scores I would have benefited from applying for multiple amex cards. Now Chase would be my ultimate goal, thats for sure.
I gotta say, it feels so good to see others beating this defunct system. I can understand why some people are so proud of the cards they have, and their limits. But to me, it seems almost like its so hit or miss. As in there isnt much continuity. Maybe some people arent being totally honest about their past on other sites. Or really the system is just that broke. One year ago, I never would have though today my score would be 80 points higher, and that I would be able to have real credit cards. It requires self control. I would not be able to be so diligent it if it wasnt for my Amex Serve card. It is SO easy and simple to take money from one account, move it to the other, pay bills, even do couponing.
Ok. So now I have some real cards. I pay my bills on time, usually in full, if not much more than the minimum, 12 days early, every month. I avoid pulling triggers on the store cards because I read so much mixed info on them (but I gotta say the kohls card sounds tempting). What else should I be doing here to improve my credit? I own my own car, don't have a mortgage, etc. Paying on my interest for my student loans will help me financially overall. I guess maybe I could cosign on someone's car loan, which would be a big risk, but I know for a fact if they ever had issues, someone would take care of it. Since I rent, should I try to get added to a family members mortgage? I do want to have the ability to get a home loan or an auto loan without astronomical interest rates. I am not planning on buying a home in the next year.
THANKS!!!

"my score is currently at EQ 669,TU 659 myfico ex of 688" Well, that is kinda awesome! In less than a month of joining myfico two of my scores have went up 30-40 points. (and my new Amex TL isnt even part of that!) I didnt even realize it. Thank you to everyone for the great advice here. I really took advantage of the SP CLI's. I have nearly tripled my total open CL. I also found out that my one 120 day late error on a student loan is supposed to drop off after 7 years. Now on experian, it said the date was August 2016. The other two said January 2016. I wonder how big of a score increase I would see from that? I am also a little frantic here because apparently disputing things like these can cause them to be closed and reopened, and taking a big hit on AAOA, at least according to creditboards. I am also thinking that 1 more HP from CareCredit could be worthwhile. Previously they only HPd my TU. Ask for 25k CLI and hope they counter for 15-20k. They did take my 2 month old amazon and sams accounts limits from 800/1200 up to 6000/7000. My care credit will be a 0 balance in the next month or two and having 15-20k 0 balance would be awesome for my uitilzation, no? I have also decided my Commerce Bank Visa is slightly evil. While 6 months ago I never would have contemplated eliminating it (as it was my highest CC CL at the time) they are just crazy. They give people bonus points for accruing interest. Seriously? Plus their points are only worth half a cent. And now the awesome shopping portal is gone where you could get 10-15 or even 20x points. No manual CLIs. System initiated every 4-6 months. Their banks are not everywhere but also not that far away. Maybe I should initiate this loan with them? They only offer real loans of $7k or more. Otherwise they have accessible lines of credit starting at $1k. They do have decent APR for used/new cars starting at 3 percent for future reference. I am getting Citi Simplicity 0% for 21 months then 12.9% offers that have the opt out notice. Previously they were for Diamond Preferred and Doublecash at 0 for 12-18mos then 19%. Credit pulls database shows sub 700 scores getting approvals but with very low CL. Seems to me with citi if you are 740+ they automatically give you 3-5x the starting limit. I am preselected on capital one for the venture, 0 for 15 then 17.9, also another QS, and the platinum prestige. I mean yes, I really could be using the extra room to push purchases through for the rewards without having to pay off during the month. I am wondering since my QS Visa in credit steps has a 22.9% apr starting in october, maybe my angle should be to see what I am preselected for in september, take the 3 HPs but apply for 2 cap1 products Then eventually combine. I dont want duplicates. I have no personal need for 15 cards with 25k limits. But... Short term 1- 6 month goals:1. Small loan 2. Complete one 3x CLI on AMEX3. Grow or Throw the commerce bank visa.4. Potentially apply for Citi Doublecash then Venture Longer term 6-12 month goals1. Close credit one in march2. under 5% util3. Learn statement closing dates TLDR: is one HP CLI worth it for a potential 20-50% increase in overall CL?
