My company has just published this recruitment advert



class SetfireMedia < AwesomeCompany
 class << self
  def description
   'Setfire Media offers you a place to learn from others and establish yourself as the best in your industry. By delighting our clients we have nurtured an established, and growing client base providing excellent job security.'
  end

  def website
   'www.setfiremedia.com'
  end

  def office
   'Swanky, new, relaxed'
  end

  def flexitime
   true
  end

  def dresscode
   nil
  end

  def job_advert(candidate)
   if candidate.skills.include?('Perl') or candidate.skills.include?('PHP') or candidate.skills.include?('Ruby on Rails')
    candidate.apply_to(self)
    candidate.comes_to_interview!

    if candidate.is_awesome?
     StaffMember.new do |sm|
      sm.receives('Excellent job security')
      sm.receives('£negotiable')
      sm.receives('pension')
      sm.receives('profit-based bonus')
      sm.save!
     end
    end
   end
  end
 end
end




For the less geeky of you it's written in Ruby on Rails and my boss is now officially an Ubergeek.
Oh and if any of you are looking for a web developer position in Manchester then please feel free to apply

As it happens, I am looking for a job. But something tells me that this isn't the one for me!

If it wasn't for the fact that the job was in Manchester, I'm not a web designer and the job is just completely wrong for me I'd totally apply for it! I mean that's just a brilliant advert!

I think the best thing to come out of this is that we've all now discovered that there's a programming language called Ruby On Rails! What a truly fab name!
