You can't even apply as you don't want to waste your time as nothing is specified. I mean, web developer is vague. What of if your expertise is in PHP but they are actually looking for .NET? Think about it.

^ these days i work with people rather than for people, nothing beats the life of freelance except where job security matters,

when you submit an application, they'll figure out if you have the skills they need.
if they had listed .net, many php developers will alter their resume to reflect employer's requirement.

Educational background dont always cut it in the industry. The best guys are mostly dropouts.

If i put something like that up, I'll employ more of those who didn't have any background in IT but who are able to prove they are capable.
Employees with a passion for the job.

I guess u saw the "contractual" part. give it a shot then.

If you read carefully, you'll see that something is specified, and Web Developer is not vague, so far as you can develop website and you have a track record of the works you've done, you can apply. The way it works is that jobs will be assigned to you based on your specialization and you will be paid for doing it.

The company will pay based on the job you do, if your past works are very good then you stand a higher chance of getting high profile jobs which means you'll get paid more. Payment structure will only be disclosed to selected applicants who will be working with the company.

Sent in my application.

From what I understand:
1. This is not a fulltime job.
2. You get paid as a Freelancer (per project).

pc guru: ^ these days i work with people rather than for people, nothing beats the life of freelance except where job security matters,

Yea freelancing is so much fun, so much money, too many jobs (and you have to turn down a few). Its really fun to work with some clients who are actually Project Managers serving as the connection between the main client and the developer.

multiple reply:
1) Sure, anyone can fudge a resume but a good interviewing session can separate the weed from the chaff. Trust me, I am an expert on this

2) If the people will put you where you fit in, no problem. At least mention so on your resume. Again, I don'tknow .NET and would hate to go through all the rigamarole only to find out that for example, it is a .NET environment.

3) What is it they say that ends with, "and a master of none"? IMHO, tis best to focus on a core competency than to try and do it all. Can you do it? Sure. Is it necessarily more efficient? IMHO, I don't think so.

4) Web developer is vague, with respect to what you will actually be doing. Anyone who spends 30 mins of the HTML section of w3schools is automatically a web developer, by technical and strictest definition. Does this mean the person would qualify for the job above, even after fudging their resume, I don't think so.

these days i work with people rather than for people, nothing beats the life of freelance except where job security matters,

The whole essence of freelancing is the risk. You can't eat your cake and have it too (is that how the saying goes? I've never bothered to know). That is why like the proverbial ant, you work hard and save hard. Every business has ebbs and flows. You don't want to be caught off guard.

I guess u saw the "contractual" part. give it a shot then.

i got so much projects on my hands right now, that the moment i add one more, i might crash, and am still trying to juggle a relationship with all this. #foreveralone

Very interesting job listing. I mean, not even a mention of skill set required or educational background. Scary

are u a university lecturer?
Mark zuckerberg is currently the greatest web developer, what is his educational background?
I dont care if the only lang u can speak is kanuri as long as u can write PHP imho

There we go again with the "Mark Zuckerberg is not a college grad" comments. I am surprised you didn't add Bill Gates or Steve Jobs to the list. Again I am surprised you haven't mentioned that Google makes billions despite having a plain, white web page. Geez!

Bear in mind that Mark never applied for the facebook job. He OWNS FACEBOOK! He saw an idea and went for it and fortunately for him, others saw value in his idea. The subject of this thread is not about risk-taking entrepreneurs but a job listing and the proper way to present one. Next time you want to show us "who I am", try and get the main gist of the matter.

Now, here is a recent job listing I received, one that IMHO is much more detailed. Right there, if I am not interested, I just move it to my "jobs" folder, for future reference. Again the idea is that I don't want to waste my time pursuing a job that may not be a good fit for me. how else to make that decision? The way the listing is described above, I guess they want everyone in the universe to apply because let's face it - whereas the chaff could "have a good knowledge of web development", only the wheat will possess the actual skill set(s) for the job in question.

Note:
I receive lots of job listings, none of which are ever the same. having said that, for the most part, they all tend to follow pretty much the same format below:

At first, I thought yawa was trying to reduce the number of possible contenders by discouraging them, but that would be so unyawalike - this lioness helps stray lambs . Yawa's job description is much more specific and detailed so anyone can really decipher where the real dough is being baked. However, I do plan on advertising vacancies in my programming department like that of the poster and then weed out keeping the best of the best in each sub-field but what a pity that yawa would not be applying. Just my own style.

Freelancing is very good. You decide when to work and when not to...

teemy, happy you see my point.

Well, I would love to apply but again:
1) the job description isn't specific enough and I am afraid I would be wasting my time
2) I am not even in Nigeria
3) I am afraid they couldn't pay me enough

If they made #3 worth my while up front, I might reconsider sha

Biggest babe. Lol. For me to roll out vacancies mean a new level of chopping has opened up. Definately gonna be worth the time and effort.

let's talk then

Definately will keep you posted sis
