The Simonscans Porn Blog

Hiring and firing is pretty much a permanent process, if only it was fun. Right now we’re looking for another person to work on tidying up a load of pages on the site, so we need a coder. Hence the advertsing is out on various webdesigner sites with a pretty specific brief AND an email address that any moron can reverse engineer into a domian. Thats right, the email addy is somebody@simonscans.com Which hardly requires the brightest spark to convert into a working url. Anyway, here’s the full text of his application:-

Hi   

I would be interested in this but before I send my details and website address (which contains samples of my work) I would like to know what sort of adult website it is. In other words is it Kosha, and legal?!

Do you have an url or can you tell me what sort of images will be on there as I DO NOT want to get involved in anything dodgey.

Cheers

Soooo, the guy wants the job so badly that a whole two line application is required. Impressive, also that BOTH lines are about as insulting as they can be. I think he’s even spelt kosher wrong. This guy really knows how to suck up to a potential employer! If this was an even slightly unusual application, I’d probably not mention it, but its not. It’s 100% typical of the rubbish that comes in. Seems that if you want to be a coder/webdesigner then all you need is a copy of dreamweaver and a low level personality disorder, say tourettes syndrome - the inability not to say exactly what you’re thinking as you think it.  Whats even more depressing for me as a Brit is that by far the worst applications are from the brits. Seems the standard of written english in the UK for native speakers/writers is now LOWER than the standard for people from the rest of the world, writing it as a SECOND language.
