Hey @ Moses, I enjoyed reading the requirements that you listed. Pls add any corrections :-) I'd like to add a few points. From the criteria you listed, I add : - *Interested in learning and have a creative mind that enjoys the challenges of application development* Great, what motivation is going to be provided by the prospective employer? - *Enjoys client interaction and problem solving, in a passionate way*. I can share a golden secret. If he/she are good at Customer skills, they are definately not good in their tech skills. Means that have a techie gift of the gab and can impress but dont have the techie "blood" to carry out the bolts/nuts of the work. - *Knows the tools of your trade* Meaning there is no system in place that provides tools to carry out tasks? So the coder is on their own? - *Wants to raise the skill level of the whole team, not just themselves* ** Team player or team leader? Team leader gift of the gab, team player does the real work. Back to golden secret. - *Knows the value of a great user experience when it comes to building applications* ** How will a coder achieve this? They code, not interprets what the client wants. Eg, Client wants a leather seats full edition car. Engineer can put in faster engine, better brakes but cannot think of leather seats/colour scheme. Company goes to interior designers? In section : *We don’t enjoy reading lists – especially not a list of the 50 technologies you know. If your resume doesn’t make it clear that you have focus on a specific web technology(s) then you’re just wasting both of our time sending us your CV – and nobody enjoys having their time wasted.* ** Ok, but have you just listed many functions of the coder = Team developer, no tools, customer support, client visionary, PHP, Python, AJAX, Javascript, CSS and MySQL, Python, PHP, AJAX, J2ME, JQuery, etc. I think what you really need is a someone who does not ( if he ) shave for many days..... :-)))) Just pulling your leg. Good luck in finding this person. Best Rgds. -
