- "Don't even bother applying if you fit the following criteria:"• If you only have one post (only time I could imagine there being an exception is if you are applying for a position like a developer and already know the staff extremely well; i.e. Relative or close friend of a staff who is very knowledgeable)
• Know next to nothing about technology
• Write in all CAPS
• Want to be paid (why would we want you anyway? - exceptions are if you provide HAWT sex)
