HTML / CSS developer - Job Offer (we also need C#, .Net and SQL developers)
First off, Mods: I'm never sure if we're allowed to post job applications? I've searched and found one or two, but if this isn't allowed let me know and I'll close it down.
Anyhoo, My company's won too many contracts and we need to hire new people like crazy. Mostly Web developers of one sort or another. I ought to mention that I have a vested interest in you applying. Firstly, if I recommend someone who then gets hired, they'll pay me a handsome bonus / finders fee (after all, they'll save the cost of an employment agency). Secondly, if we can't hire enough good people I'm going to have to work 500 hour weeks from now until 2009 to get all the work finished, this does not make me a .
Right the Jobs: We're after lots of people, but specifically: Front end Developers (HTML / CSS with a teeny bit of photoshop), Graduate Web Developers and experienced ASP.net developers (C#) And SQL Server Junior DBAs. For the graduate positions, it might sound odd, but you can apply even if you've never looked at .Net or C# in your life. They can train you on the job quite easily if you're proficient in C/C++, Java or similar. I did C++ at uni and they still hired me :)
The company's in London (Holborn, Zone 1 quite near Tottenham Court Road), it's got about 35 people and I think it's a good fun place to work. They should offer you decent money too, they're desperate :P
If you fancy applying for any of the following, either PM me, and I can put you through to the relevant people, and put in a good word, or you can see our website and contact them directly. http://www.snowvalley.com/careers/
