Some of you may know that I’ve been looking to move into a full-time role as a web interaction designer for the right company. [Potential clients: Don’t let this scare you! I’m adamant about keeping alive the possibility of freelance work alongside any full-time position I may accept, and I’ll always be honest about my ability to perform requested work in a timely manner.]
In my job search, I’ve seen an amazing number of grammatical errors in job listings—something I really think reflects poorly—but this one from a company called Zurb really takes the cake. It’s not merely in a topical job post but on a prominent page of the Zurb website. And it’s huge: “People that design.” I know times are tough, but surely it’s worth paying a copy-editor for the 45 seconds it would take him/her to find this error.
