Just got this email... Might suit some of you arty bitches...
THE WAPPING PROJECT BOOKSHOP POST
I am looking for the right person to join the Wapping team and run the bookshop while Lydia Fulton, the present Mistress of the Bookshop, is on maternity leave.
The post will suit a freelancer or post graduate student (any art form) who could do with a rent free office to work from, loves books, is inspired by The Wapping Project, and who has a strong sense of self. There is a lot of freedom to express your own voice and to take the bookshop off into fresh avenues.
The bookshop is open on Thursday and Friday evenings, Saturday and Saturday night and Sundays. Usually one of those sessions is covered by a part-timer (to be discussed). Usual holiday entitlements apply. The post is paid on a pro- rata basis, taking the 40 hour week as a mean and other benefits include discounts on all purchases and staff discounts in the The Wapping Project’s restaurant.
Please email jules@thewappingproject.com to express an interest, send a CV and to arrange an interview. The post begins in the first week of October 2010. Please feel free to forward this email to anyone you think may be interested.

I hear there's quite a lot of work going on Thursday evenings drinking beer, but you probably wouldn't go for that, as you don't list it among your strong points.
Good luck, Murts.

CRB costs no more then a tenner.
Tell em to blow it out their ass.
Or alternatively tell them they can take out of the 15% they will take if they find you work

Calling all HTML-ists.
I finally got the go-ahead to hire an experienced front end web developer. I've won the battle, and maybe the war, as the senior management are now all in agreement that I need to build a front end development discipline, and that I can't be expected to do everything.
The job would be based in the City of London, though visiting client sites does happen. Travel to our offshore offices in Romania and Moldova may also happen.
The technology we need expertise in is XHTML, CSS, JS. We don't touch Flash much.
Our back end technology is .Net, and you will need to be/become fairly proficient in XSLT and C#
We use Sitecore as our CMS in the majority of web projects, and host almost everything via the Akamai CDN. Each of these technologies bring their own restrictions and challenges so any prior experience is helpful.We're a technical agency, so you'll be working on a variety of different clients across many sectors, including some household names, with very high traffic. We are well in the top 20 in New Media Age's 2010 rankings, ahead of many highly respected agencies, and we aim to break into the top 10.
From my point of view, as the person who recommends who we hire, I will need to see your portfolio and examine your code. I am very big on lean, efficient, standards-compliant, semantic HTML, progressive enhancement, separation of presentation from content, accessibility, SEO. I like minimal HTML that describes as much only what a page does, and leaves the CSS to describe what it looks like.
I don't want to see divs that are just there to create a grid layout or replace a table layout. If I see classnames like "row" or "column" or "width_560" then you're not the person for me. (If you're still using tables for layout then you're not the person for anyone). Inline style tags or attributes should not appear in your code without good reason (e.g. content managed background images). You should be used to writing object oriented JS that doesn't pollute the global namespace, uses no inline JS and uses progressive enhancement and graceful degradation.I'm being specific about this because I need to be able to trust you to produce HTML prototypes that can be turned into fast, efficient production components and not have to worry about their quality or suitability. Getting this stuff right in the first place is what I am all about.
You will be analysing and tearing apart PSDs from design agencies and turning them into components and pages, so you need to be able to look at a creative and identify the purpose of each element, where it can be reused, what it is for, what the gotchas are, which bits will increase page weight, or harm browser compatibility. You'll be creating static HTML prototypes from finished creatives, and writing some of the production code in XSLT or C# as well. You will also be involved, with me, in training and mentoring junior front end devs, who will probably be based offshore.
Hours should be 9-6 (I think overtime is an indication of failure, not dedication) although there are odd occasions when you'll be covering a sporting event or something and may be on an out of hours rota).
I don't yet know what the salary will be but it should be competitive. There's a pension, bike to work, and the building has fucking fantastic bike parking.
PM me with a CV and a list of your work if you're interested

in my personal experience any CRB check only applies to work in a particular place/job, ie: doesn't cover you to work in two different places who may need their own CRB check............ whilst I may refrain from using any sentence that employs the word 'fucked' I would certainly enquire as to how the CRB check will ACTUALLY effect employment...
