Subject: RE: E-Commerce Manager (Sacramento, CA)

I had questions and I think the post could use some clarification:

“Manager to fill a key Marketing position”

“Candidates must have a minimum of five years experience in Web development and maintenance and a minimum 3 years .NET experience”

So, essentially, you’re looking for a marketing manager who does development work – right?

“This position is also responsible for planning and budget management, as well as the communication of expectations and standards of performance among area direct reports.”

Would that be “departmental” planning and budget management, or is the E-Commerce Manager responsible for all planning and budget management, in addition to all web development?

How many employees does Golden 1, one of California’s leading credit unions, have on staff?

I am interested in the golden opportunity mentioned in your Craigslist post – I’m under 18 but that’s not really a deal-breaker for you, now, is it? I can assure you that I have plenty of experience.

Hope to hear back from you soon!

Yes, I troll – but only for the lulz.

The Internet is Win: Random, pointless, and/or amazing things I would never have known about without an internet connection.

Interview questions span the intractable, the thoughtless, and the inane – test some skills to find out if a candidate can do the job… the interview only tests patience and personality.

Fuck the popularity contest – pay me, I’ll be your slave for a while.
