Hi everyone,

I really hope this is not an inappropriate place for this. Do any of you want a job doing front-end development in the San Francisco Bay Area (Redwood City)? Or maybe you have friends who are looking for a job? To be totally straightforward, I work for a search firm and I'm having trouble finding people who want to develop web applications. So I hate to resort to sending out messages to people I don't know, but it really might be a good opportunity for some of you. Someone with experience working at a web company and a technical degree from a decent school would be best (LAMP or demonstrated knowledge of AJAX, Javascript preferred). Let me know, email would be best (profrink12@yahoo.com).

Really sorry if this is just a bothersome message to you all. My company does pay a referral bonus though, of at least $500 if you put us in contact with someone who gets placed in the position. I'm not trying to mess with anyone; just trying to help somebody who is looking for a new job. I would never spam messages to people; I hope that's not how this is interpreted.

Thanks.
- Brian

Try Craig's list. This is probably not the best place for you, and some readers (I assume) don't want this kind of thing.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though, anyone in charge.

techsupport_ot is meant for posts like this. It's part of the reason why we have an OT community.

[metao.livejournal.com]

In before the death threats start.

[digitalraven]

Death threats only once he defends posting in entirely the wrong community when the right one is smack bang on this one's userinfo.

[jecook]

Hmmmmm.....

Hard call to make. It's right on the border of outright advertising, however, there's a healthy amount of grovelling, and the OP doesn't sound lie an asshole.


I guess I'll let it slide, for now.

[jecook]

But yeah, techsupport_ot is where this probably should be posted.

[kizayaen.livejournal.com]

On the plus side, it's a potential hookup for a job in a bum market in a proper field. I'd say that pretty well overrides any unsuitability that might be found.

[politas.livejournal.com]

No, it doesn't. It really doesn't. Especially as it's a development job, and this is a forum mainly for support people (hence the name).

But even if it were a tech support role, it would still be unsuitable.

If you're legit, this is borderline.

If you're legit, I'd seriously consider finding a better email address than a Simpsons reference at Yahoo ... and using MySpace as your web page.

Your profile indicates you're still a student, apparently? So is this a side gig, or ... ?

[awarrenfells.livejournal.com]

Hook with no bait? Poor fishing attempt if you ask me. ^_^

[canray.livejournal.com]

It's got the same bait all the other Tech Jobs have...

It's not, "So, computers, eh? That means you can TYPE, right?"

And then... Then is the downward slide to mere Office Clerk. One of the Unwashed Masses that causes the problems that those great Men and Women of the Industry, THE COMPUTER TECHS must fix.

Well, actually, it's Management that causes the most problems, but it's the staff that complain the most.

[awarrenfells.livejournal.com]

I was more referring to mention of monies... but I completely know what you mean. ^_^

[digitalraven]

Grovelling is no substitute for intelligence. I wouldn't want to work for an idiot who couldn't find the correct place to post his ad when it's listed in the fucking user info.

I think you'd get a better response if you posted a photo of yourself along with your want ad here. Anything that stops you posting where you plainly don't belong.

[digitalraven]

In other news, what's the fucking problem with you people? This cretin cannot read. That doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt, it deserves mockery. Dear gød, has someone dumped uppers into the water supply again?

[jecook]

I blame the holiday season for the mellow-ness.

[canray.livejournal.com]

Too much rum, not enough eggnog?

[awarrenfells.livejournal.com]

Wait, why is the rum gone?

/me eyes canray.

[canray.livejournal.com]

*Tries to whistle innocently, epic fails*

[amynnah.livejournal.com]

My rum! /yoink!

[jecook]

Likely.

[canray.livejournal.com]

Big time! $Diety knows we need as much mental painkiller as possible!

[falnfenix]

if Hot Buttered Rum works with very dark rum, no worries - i've got a healthy stockpile of the stuff.

[falnfenix]

oohhh that looks like it's the perfect sleep-inducing pre-bed drink.

[jecook]

I didn't take any of the rum. Shoot, haven't had any in the house since the last bender involving dumping most of a liter bottle of coke into the rum bottle and drinking the mix stright from it.

*reminds self to buy more rum whilst shopping today*

[falnfenix]

do yourself a favor.

if they have it at your local boozatorium, pick up a bottle of Gosling's Black Seal.

omgsogood.

[jecook]

Hmmm.... There's a BevMo that's on the way. I'll make a note of it and drop in there.

[falnfenix]

*nod* it's good...really good. definitely worth the buy if you have a taste for the darker rums.

[jecook]

Managed to snag the last bottle during my shopping expedition today, along with a bottle of my standard Capt. Morgan, only in 100 proof.

Also found that Stone has a Double Bastard Ale- Should be damn tasty.

[falnfenix]

ah, splendid. enjoy. :)

[zercool.livejournal.com]

+1 to this. Excellent dark rum.

[argonel.livejournal.com]

You can keep the eggnog, I'll be over here with the rum and the stout.
