    I thought they only came out at night to prey on the weak and the young?

    Have just looked her up on linkedin. So, she's a psychologist who has been working in recruiting for just over a year, but describes herself in terms of the people she is trying to recruit, not based on who she is.
    ...and she claims to know more than anyone else about MS Dynamics.


    Well, if you do know that much about it, why aren't you consulting on it, rather than working in recruitment?
    And when have you built up this knowledge, cause you've never done a day's real work in your life - straight out of uni into recruitment.




    (Can you tell I'm in a grump today?)

    Hey presto, second contract for MyCo, and an increase in your daily rate.




    Great attention to detail, and a strong understanding for design. Based on the detail of the rate I understand you aren't expecting much.
    Understands the importance of clinical fine-tuning in the latter stages of build. At the latter stage of the day my work is fine
    Can work confidently independently. I am confident I can work from home/hotel on my own.
    Motivated to work on an end-to-end project (creating the initial responsive framework, based on design provided, to adding all content). You've read this in a marketing manual, haven't you, Raban?
    Enjoys working in a collaborative environment. Yup, I'll sit in the hotel bar doing the work sometimes.
    Will be working with a digital designer - starting build with mock-up in-hand, which is refined as more information materialises. So, you've off-shored the development but you now need someone who has a bit of skill to fix your low-cost clusterf....
    Strong HTML, CSS/LESS and JavaScript. I've posted on facebook before, that should be skills enough based on the rate
    Strong Responsive Build experience. We put an extension on the house 3 years ago, that was a build experience.
    Ability to comfortably build custom rich (content/design/functionality) responsive pages from scratch, based on designs provided (using media queries, not a template framework). Another one from your marketing manual, Raban, given that it says the same thing in 3 different ways. You are supposed to take the sentence and choose the words you need to use, not put them all in.
    It takes some b@lls to advertise a role requiring skills beyond packing boxes at such a crap rate, and then to try and big it up like its a £600 a day contract, hilarious , Admit its a crap rate and you want a monkey in to bang their fist on the keyboard and you may get someone.
