Dream Job
My dream job. Of course, right now I'm not good enough, but maybe one day. Look at the specification:
- Strong knowledge of basic design principles: page layout, typography, color theory as it applies to the web
- Expert-level experience in coding html and css is required
- Mastery and understanding of Web standards a requirement
- Proven design skills for developing web interfaces with a focus on user experience
It may not do it for you, but that just makes my heart soar. Being turned down by a company that at least suggests in the job advert they know their stuff is no insult, rejections from companies that think html is a programming language parsed by FrontPage are just plain hurtful...

More!? OK then, but I can't help feeling that this will be a disappointment to you.
I work as a web designer in Belfast, and I live by the sea in a shoe. You can see me here, doing my livejournal pose as idoru called it. If you need to you can email me at carisenda -at- gmail -dot- com.

Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it. - Little Miss Sunshine

Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way. - Laputa: Castle in the Sky†
Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool. - Porco Rosso

Stylish, funny, exciting. - Grave of the Fireflies†
Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good. - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind†
The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging. - X-Men: The Last Stand

Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
and a chance to work on MT would be very cool. I’m often tempted to peek around and try to write little plugins but I don’t think my coding skills are up to it.
As for you “not being good enough”, the job description seems open to anyone with good skills. I’d think the real barrier to applying would be the whole work-in-America thing…
