[IxDA Discuss] [JOB] User Interface Developer - Telecommute[RECRUITER]

[JimH]

I must say, as someone in the thick of a job hunt, this propensity to
throw in everything is not only frustrating but inefficient. I'm sort
of a soup-to-nuts type (well, maybe soup-to-toast, since that last
actual shipping code I wrote was in Hypertalk), but there so many
listings asking for IA, UI design, visual design, usability, half a
dozen languages, some specialized domain knowledge -- not to mention
the charisma of Tom Cruise -- it seems to feed an endless cycle of
disappointment on all fronts! In the end, of course, there's really
one key skill that's more important than the others, but it's
difficult to find that out without everyone (recruiter, candidate,
employer) wasting a fair amount of time.
