Shotgun 1 #1 January 28, 2004 So I'm searching the web, looking for an entry-level photography job (which is very difficult to get of course, but that's another story...) and I get to this one website... I'm reading their ad and it's all the normal stuff til it gets to this: QuoteI get very pissed off with people who apply, go through the whole process, and then turn down an offer of a contract for a reason which they could have known all along - it just wastes everyone's time. PLEASE ask yourself some serious questions BEFORE you apply - are you really happy working on your own most of the day - are you really happy driving around in the rain, getting stuck in traffic, getting stressed because you're late for an appointment ?... For some reason that just cracked me up - not your everyday employment ad. I like their straightforward attitude though. If it wasn't for the fact that they're in the UK (and I don't want to move countries) then I'd probably apply... (Full ad here if anyone's interested) Has anyone else seen any funny stuff while searching through employment ads? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 1 #3 January 28, 2004 So now I'm looking at the website of one of the US companies that is hiring... and I've gotta love their Russian Girls 3D Screensaver (with the additional "College Girls" and "Teen Girls" packs you can buy). Sorry Ivan, looks like their boobs are all covered. Hmm, interesting company... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

labrys 0 #8 January 28, 2004 From Blizzards employment FAQ: "The basic idea is this: don’t give us any excuse not to hire you. This means paying attention to details and not making any mistakes. While we wouldn’t reject John Carmack for misspelling "Gouraud shading," we might snicker a bit. The less snickering we do, the sharper you look."Owned by Remi #?

Shotgun 1 #9 January 29, 2004 That's pretty funny. I like companies that are to the point and have a sense of humor. Is that the Blizzard company that makes the Diablo games? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
labrys 0 #10 January 29, 2004 Yep, that's them. Diablo, Starcraft, Warcraft, etc.Owned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #11 January 29, 2004 Oh, and I found a new job for you Ivan, at Zoovy. Along with the typical Product Support Specialist or Perl Developer, etc., you can also apply to be an Apprentice Sith Lord: QuoteApprentice Sith Lord Job Description: An unexpected position has opened up in the Dark Side Consulting Group for an Apprentice Sith Lord. The ideal candidate for this position would like galactic travel and possess a complete understanding of, and competence with the Force, or demonstrate a willingness to learn. Duties include: Performing competitive intelligence, hands-on intervention in support of the Sith Master's planning initiatives, ability to travel the galaxy widely, and operating a variety of laser-powered hand weapons and high-powered space/air vehicles. Some slaying of enemies of the Dark Side is also required, which may be performed using the Force or hand weapons. Qualified applicants would possess good communications skills (especially when speaking in menacing whispers), and would be action-oriented individuals and risk takers. A background in study of the Force (light side or dark) is desirable, as would typically be acquired by those with advanced degrees or significant course work in Jedi Arts from the Jedi Academy of Coruscant. Applicants should also be familiar with holographic projection equipment, possess a valid galactic pilot's license (for all classes of ships), and must show a willingness to give in to their hate. A proven track record of using fear and/or Jedi mind tricks to control others is also desirable, as is the ability to speak several galactic languages. Ideal candidates for this position would also have no children or other living relatives who are strong in the ways of the Force. (A new hire would be given several weeks to meet this requirement.) Compensation for this position is commensurate with experience, and is extremely competitive for this field. Benefits include a generous severance package, a company starship, and a dark-colored clothing allowance. The Apprentice Sith Lord reports to and works closely with the Sith Master, and experience in such small, team-based organizations is vital to the success of the master's plans. Discretion is also highly valued, as is the ability to see the future before it happens. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Transmit them to jobs@zoovy.com.
