There seems to have been miscommunication with the job description. That having been said, the idea that web dev positions that are a hybrid role of design and implementing webpages is not novel, it does not take a "unicorn".
The description undersold JavaScript as a requirement, the candidate continues to oversell "jQuery proficiency" and "I'm a designer/developer if there ever was one."
The employer wanted someone a step further towards the programming side of the spectrum. This person turned out to not be the right candidate, happens all the time. Why the rant?
- seanmcdirmid 11y agoIt happens to designers a lot: company wants to hire a "designer", they really mean CSS/Javascript coder who can match colors and pixels in a way that isn't disastrous. The difference between a real designer and a web dev that dabbles in a bit of design is huge.
