Hi,

I’m from Philippines and I’m a web/multimedia developer for 6 years now, is there still a change to be qualified on your team? Actually we are planning to migrate in Australia maybe a couple of years from now but if given a chance to have a good employer that will be a great gift for us. Where can I send my resume?

Thanks.:)

I think a work from home arrangement would be great, and if this was possible I’d certainly consider applying. I’m within Australia as it is, but not in Melbourne, and moving isn’t an option at this point. A full time position like this isn’t suited to a ‘work from home’ setup, but surely there are other positions SitePoint can offer with this arrangement?

Here are just some of the benefits of working for SitePoint. Published in The Age Newspaper (Australia) today.

I’d apply for this job in a heartbeat if I didn’t have to move. I have 7 years of web programming experience and 12 years of graphic design experience and have been writing 100% CSS compliant .Net web applications for the last two years. Plus I have about 6 years of part time teaching experience from working at a local college in my area. I just cannot and will not move. I have a family and a life here.

Have you thought about opening positions like this up to working remotely? I mean in this line of work it would especially broaden your ability to find a qualified candidate? The technology is there, why not use it?

To begin jumping to conclusions and threatening legal action when a job application has not been reviewed within two working days of submission is, I would say, a tad extreme. As for your expectation of a response, we do not respond to every applicant, only those we are interested in meeting with about the job.

Tim, I can assure you the survey is legit. I filled out the same survey in September last year and started in November as a Technical Editor.

Of course, Tim. Sitepoint is pure conspiracy. They outsource their work to a freemason-style group of cabalist freelancers and share revenues with the Russians. They pay people to post on forums, data mine your registration details and every so often hold a contest with fake entrants to drum up participation so that they can create an audience for techcrunch, which they secretly own and operate. Their books, which can be found in many public libraries, are written by inb0x.com, which was recently mentioned on a blog here as payment for all the hard work.

Seriously, though, a site as big as sitepoint seems a little bit too realistic to be as non-existent as you suggest. Surely one of the top 500 websites in the world isn’t a fake? How come they have a physical presence in their books, which I’ve seen in the public libraries? Where do you suppose all the content for articles came from? I haven’t actually seen the office, but for all it matters, you could probably find it on Google Earth :)
