Now here's a different kind of job posting (smile)

I love funny job postings. You can often tell whether a firm has an HR person - or not (probably the case with this one).

Here are some snippets from a craigslist posting (it is still live on the site as of today, but it may come down soon).

Intro includes...
  • We don't want standard solutions; we want solutions so ridiculously unconventional that we shake the time space continuum.
  • We want someone that can shine of truth. Illuminate Darkness.
  • The Search for Truth will start with your Search Masterpiece. We just want to be there when it happens.
Requirements include...
  • 3+ years experience developing in C and/or Ruby with AJAX; or you can be one of those weirdos that refused to learn anything past Fortran
  • Proven track record of building Core Search Technology at another company; other acceptable places include: your garage back in Palo Alto, CA in 1998 or that dream you had.
Personal Characteristics include...
  • The successful candidate will reject setbacks
  • Childhood dreams of being a Rockstar are not necessary for this job, but we will question your humanity.
And my favorite part.

TO RECRUITERS:

We have come to terms that you will spam us.
