What does "(m/f)" mean? Surely not "male/female"...
- redsparrow 9y ago
  Yes, it does. That's the norm in Germany because the words (in German) for job titles (eg: software developer) imply a gender. So instead of writing the full job title in both masculine and feminine they just write it once and then put (m/f) afterwards. Obviously it doesn't need to be there when the job title is written in English, but it often is anyway.

    Interesting; is there a reason it only appeared on the last line here? Was "Software Engineer- Web Frontend" the only noun-phrase that would imply a gender?

      That job is in Germany.

I have to say this is the least appealing post I've seen here recently. It's totally impersonal, explains nothing of the company's needs or direction, and basically the sort of thing you might see on a recruitment site, which I think really defeats the purpose of Who's Hiring Put a bit of spark into it next month, and write in the first person!
