Μετά την κουβέντα για το που να βρει κανείς προγραμματιστές για .NET έριξα μια ματιά στις αγγελίες της FogCreek, της εταιρείας του Joel Spolsky. Ακολουθεί το παράδειγμα μιας αγγελίας που "τραβάει" και σε κάνει να θέλεις να δουλεψεις εκεί. Προσέξτε τη δομή της αγγελίας:
- Ποιά είναι η εταιρεία και γιατί αξίζει να δουλεύεις σε αυτή
- Τί θα κάνεις, ΠΡΑΓΜΑΤΙΚΑ, εκεί. Όχι "θα αναπτύσσει εφαρμογές web blah blah" και θα σφουγγαρίζει.
- "Απαιτήσεις". Είσαι καλός? Σε θέλουμε
- Τί προσφέρουμε, φάτσα κάρτα. Ακόμα και η παροχή καλής καρέκλας.

Software Developer
Fog Creek Software is a small, friendly software company in midtown New York City. We started in 2000 based on the simple idea that if we built a company that was a great place to work, we would be able to attract great talent. Since then, sales of our products FogBugz and CityDesk have gone through the roof, and we have exciting new products in the pipeline. We're proud to have been profitable since day one and taken no outside investment, but our sales are so strong that we need help coping with the demand.
