Maybe I’m naive, lazy and narrow-skilled, but if one person can do all this then I’d like to see it:
Programming Skills:
- PHP
- ASP.NET
- VB
- MSSQL
- MYSQL
- HTML
- DHTML
- JavaScript
- XML
- Flash (action script)
- Director
- Lingo
- Windows Server2003
- Exchange
- Linux Networking (samba / netatalk)
- OSX
- Photoshop
- Final Cut Pro
- CSS.
…take a breath aaaaand here’s the software you need to be able to use:
- Macromedia Flash
- Director
- PhotoShop
- Freehand or Illustrator
- Final Cut Pro
- Microsoft Office
- QuickTime
- Acrobat
- Putty
So they’re the skills you need. Don’t forget though, that you need to have experience! See here:
- Three years PHP+MySQL programming and “maintaining various networks”
- High knowledge level of server maintenance on Linux and Windows 2003 and OSX, not to mention networking hardware and systems
- PLUS you also get to manage a project from a client brief to final deployment “in conjunction with” account managers…ie they tell the client what you can have done and you manage to get it done or else!
Whew, they’re not asking for much! Just a graphic designer, software developer, systems analyst, project manager, network administrator and internal technical support person, all in one. I can’t see how one person could fulfill all those roles. How could any kind of quality be achieved? How would the person stay sane? I love variety in my work, but this just seems crazy.
Anyway, I think it’d be helpful if the job ad was focused. I could do Linux and Windows system administration, PHP and MySQL development, internal support, some graphics with Photoshop, CSS and Javascript, which covers maybe half the requirements. Are they the important half? Who knows…
