Hello. I am job please.

Seriously tho, what are the qualifications besides "eats technology for breakfast". Also what does it mean when you say that? Are you looking for someone who's up-to-date on the latest everything (tablet, pc, smartphone, etc..?)

Fluffy, the "lives in Toronto" part might be an issue.

Bedrock, I think he means that the applicant will be passionate about the field.

Cool sounds like a fun opportunity. It's shame that I'm a retard and can't program or code to save my life. lol

 

[Cpt.Carnage]

Hmm, havent done web design since college.

 

[staticfactory]

I doubt it'll be a programming position (though I haven't actually seen the posting). I assume it'll be more servers/domains/site management. As a junior position, it's not likely that a pile of experience is required either... but I could be completely wrong
