How to advertise for a job and save everyones time.
My former Boss in Proyplon (on his blog) has put up an interesting job specification ad.
How often have you applied for the job based on the ad, thinking that this is going to be your dream job and it does not turn out to be it.
A different way could be this..
Propylon are looking for a couple of highly experienced, XML/Publishing/Workflow/CMS Technical Architects. Must be capable of leading from the front on projects and bringing them in on time and within budget.
* If you don't know what a dochead is, you don't want the job.
* If you are not a dochead, you don't want the job.
* If you think kerning is a winter sport, you don't want the job.
* If you think W3C XML Schema solves all the worlds problems, you don't want the job.
* If you think GUIs should be the first thing designed on a project, you don't want the job.
* If you think "The Complete works of Shakespeare" is a lot of textual content, you don't want the job.
* If your first thought when confronted with 1,000,000 pages of textual data is to put it all in a database, you don't want the job.
From an employers point of view, the C.V's you get are from people who really want the job
see on Seans blog esp. if you are a dochead
