How not to web design

How not to web design I have the occasional web design lead from my website. I wanted a company that I was able to do so. So I created an ad-free website. It specified the programming qualifications needed, the candidate must have a good German, English, and has been for companies only.The my answers were revealing. So I have a list of things that the applicants are wrong. It should be noted is.I was ready to give everyone a fair go. After the first winds and email, my attitude has changed. I was looking for reasons to eliminate candidates. I just need a success, with 100 + answers was always due to headaches, so I decided a brutal approach was needed.1. Error reading spec.Many candidates do not write correctly English. Many were individuals only. Result: immediate deletion.2. Specification of the error criteria.Applicants bragged how they were great. Many standard copy-and-paste marketing guff from "solutions" and "partnership" in each of emails.To interest in a proposal you must talk less about themselves and more about the benefits to them * * with you. One of the first things I leaed on the application for employment, you must show how the criteria in the job description, see if you can find the employer wavelength.3. Many jargon.You quickly on this line. Who takes care of web companies, it's probably a lot of them. Candidates should speak with the client about the client side * * * * and their needs, and avoid techno-babble.Write an application letter. Leave for a while, then edit. Brutal. Typical short sentences, no guff. Speak convincingly, how can the client money would be an attention getter.4a. 'Coming soon' client pages.You say you have done for many customers, then a "Coming Soon" sign on the web page where your client list is. Hmmmm.4b. "Under Construction" pages on the Web site.This looks bad, what you see on an amateur site. Another reason for your application.4c are. Just put in pictures of sites that have done so, but as a link to the current sites.I 'd have liked to see some examples of work sites. Images can be false, and show no background programming.4e. No mention of your site URL.Let us guess where your website (if you have one). It 'more fun! I tried to guess from the e-mail. After a while 'time I did not bother.4f. N. all.Just hyperlinks to a brief e-mail game, "I am great designer, hire me." Later! 5th Using Yahoo.com Hotmail.com or your e-mail for address.A designer should not be a freebie e-mail. Basic web hosting costs $ 5 per month may be months to conceive that a web designer can be a freebie for specific purposes, but your domain name is an indicator that goes into each E - mail send.6. Grammar.Weste bad spelling and civilization is destined to fail if you use SMS-lingo is the usual way of writing for the people. This is not to give old frts lik me, fr strtrs (especially if you are looking for work where good spelling and grammar are important.7. Front Loading Flash designs.I admit, I did not like Flash. I like especially when loading slowly on my broadband connection. I suppose that might impress an ignorant customers who do not know the economic consequences of a Flash-heavy site.8. Phone is not the employer. unless, say: "The acquisition is disqualified, "" telephone, the employer is a good idea. Why? Why Geeks are famous introverted and tongue-tied, supposedly. Therefore, if a website designer can significantly over the phone, in conjunction with a good example of application is the first E-mail applicant.No only need to jabber. A kind request to establish a contact will be. "Just checking, you have my CV", this kind of thing .9. Keep up mysteriously. E-mail is impersonal. All this is possible, as a human being, a person, a potential ally and friend, is good. It will be unforgettable. There is no need to switch from a giant cake, "But However, you must meet all other criteria, as well. But the great Guy, if you have a Unix-man, and they want Windows, forget it.10. ambiguous end of the phone messages.One chap left a phone message in which he recalled his site, twice, but not his' phone number. His pronunciation was bad, so I guess I'll never know how good that was.11. Too far away.Most answers came from India, Ukraine , Romania etc. Anyone who has been at home (United Kingdom) has distinguished itself. just ask as a winnowing criterion.Also, I needed someone who could land contracts from UK residents; good command of English, both orally and in writing was important.12. Insert per hour. forget. They are not a lawyer. web design jobs can be clearly defined in terms of time, labor and software. One of the final price can be agreed in advance. It is called a contract. If you leave the client open to the escalation of the law, and her mission-creep.13. Delay applying.The first applications were taken into consideration. Then fatigue set a.
