Well today was a first, I have been interviewing for a lacky. Basically we are in need of a webmonkey. The work load that I have been given I am clearly not keeping up with. So we posted a job on monster and have been interviewing.
This is a real first for me. I've never interviewed anyone in my whole life and I'm suprisingly good at it. We booked in two people , the first one was a girl called Rebecca Coleman who didn't even bother to turn up. We waited around, but she couldn't even be bother to give us a call to say, “Hi this is Rebecca Coleman I can't be naffed to come along.“. So It was a bit of a wasted trip that one for me.
The second guy was lovely, just not really what we were looking for, I in part feel sorry for him, because he wanted to be a web developer, however he didn't really have any experience, had done a degree in media, which is the kiss of death in the job market. The thing with developer is it is a vskill which is very much learnt over time, and at the begining hiring a devloper with no experience would take ages to get him up to a level where he was useful. He kept say I would be very willing to to go on any course you want. The problem is in this age, you don't really have time to invest in people like that, I don't wan to pay to train him, I just want someone to do the job. Plus I've been ona lot of thoose course and god they are a pile of crap, mostly.
Finally we seem to be progressing with the site.
Well I've totally finished the omnilux pages
