Help Wanted Ad: Web Designer

Wanted: Web Designer to help with the new Web site for my extremely cutting edge, high profile, botique business. It was originally created by my 6-month old nephew who actually paid me to let him do it for me. I also need it to be ranked number one or two in a google search for “business”. The site should be breathtakingly beautiful, but simple, and easy to use.
Skills: High level flash and actionscript as well as astounding graphic design skills. XML, CSS, .NET, PHP and Database design. At least twelve years experience preferred, but if you are qualified, you need not ever have done any Web design in the past.

Compensation: I can’t actually pay you anything, but the benefit of having done my Web site should be payment enough for you anyway, right?

Deadline: I need to have the site designed, hosted, and launched in the next 25 minutes.

Please e-mail a detailed resume, online portfolio, 15 references, and a 20-page essay on why I should let you design my site.

It’s too bad that that’s not too far off from some ads I’ve seen looking for freelance designers.

One of the best things I ever saw in the “qualifications” field was this;

Qualifications: “entry level, 3-5 years of experience in said field with 3 print, 3 web, & 2 interactive media samples”

how can you be entry level and have 3-5 years experience? some people!

this seems to be about right. “Give me the world on a dime and have it up yesterday.”

Here here. This is indicative of most of the ads I see too. And probably phone enquiries…

Ten languages and 16 hour days with little or no reward. Throw them back lol… the sad thing is this obviously does work for them and some schmuck is filling the vacancy.

I wonder why so many people fluff their resumes? :)

These last three are pretty much spam comments. But they are so hillarious, I’m not going to delete them.

Hooray for reading.
