"Web Content Vacancy at Freeola"

Applicants for the Web Content position should be able to show some existing design, art or page layout work, some creative writing, and a reasonable understanding of web sites, or will have previously built their own web site. We will consider a strong designer with less written ability or a strong writer with less design ability, but some technical aptitude is important. These are the starting points upon which further training and experience would be based. Web Content staff work within the Marketing Department and are supported by a team of programmers.

So, if you live near Braintree and want to get involved with the creative side of Freeola, and you are starting a career in Web Design and Content, then apply now. Starting salary is £12,000 per annum with plenty of scope for advancement.

Please email your name and address to [email protected] plus any brief details which might be relevant, so that we can send you an application form.

The job is based in Braintree and unfortunately you cannot work remotely from your idyllic carbon-neutral cottage in the Scottish highlands.

I don't suppose there are any job openings for someone to chat on the forum all day? I'm pretty well qualified and have 12 years experience (8 of those on here).

Nope: Marketing, email bulletins, design, page layout, keywording, some technical ability required, very good English, creative writing or design.

We generally used PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS and Javascript (slowly moving over to using the jQuery library). We programmers generally code the PHP and do the MySQL stuff.
I think some companies might use the description 'Frontend engineer' for this job:)
We don't use Dreamweaver, it better to know all your code, especially when something isn't working, so we write everything ourselves.

so... generally maintenance work?

The key word here is content. I don't think they're expecting a hot programmer.

I wouldn't mind applying, but i'm rubbish at html and i mostly work with dreamweaver. I could show you some of my work, but it isn't what you call fantastic.


edit: Incidently, who are you looking for and what relevant skills or programming languages are required? Will additional training be provided?

I've got general experience in the following: ASP, JSP, Javascript, VB6 VB.net. HTML i can do by hand, as well as use dreamweaver. But this is mostly in a uni environment rather then in a real world environment sadly.

If you want, i can give you some of my uni work to have a look at to see what level you want.

I suddenly feel so foolish for choosing accountancy over my fledgling career in web development.
