Wanna join me? then email your CV and cover letter to or if you know someone that might fit the role, send them the details!
Needless to say, no agencies please!
Lord knows that I would love to work with someone like you, and in what sounds like a really exciting position! I don't think I'm guru enough. I'm just starting my way down the Flex and AIR roads, and know very little about Java web technologies.
If I'm honest, I have to admit that I'm a big Brit-fan! I constantly use words and phrases that are very much British slang, I watch all sorts of UK television, etc. It's a dream of mine to visit England, so just thinking about working in the UK is pretty cool! I realize this is a pretty worthless post, but it's cool of you to post this sort of job opportunity for folks!
1) Ehem, last time I looked, my name is Mark, not Mike ;)
2) With regards to the technologies, you need to have some proficiency but the role is mainly ColdFusion
3) If you saw the weather this summer, I think you are very right that its *COOL* to work here, it definitely isn't hot!
1) *extracts foot from mouth* ... yuck! Needs salt, and maybe a little basil. I can't believe I called you 'Mike'. Maybe that's be cause I was recently talking to Mike Kelp at our CFUG meeting about you and all of the thankless work you do on CFEclipse. Or maybe it was because it was a Wednesday and my chair was facing north. I dunno. Sorry mate! *sheepish grinn*
2) Let me tell you, I'd give my left... well let's just say I wish I was doing more ColdFusion these days. I'm having to do some modification/maintenance of someone else's PHP code just now, and I'm not enjoying it. Not that I can't get it done, but I'm under the gun to get it done fast, and I just don't know how fast I can be with a language I'm not very comfortable with, and code that was written by some other bloke! ;o)
3) meh... I don't mind colder weather. I'm kind of a big guy, so the more clothes I can wear the better. :o)
