So after getting lots of emails from my most recent job posting on Creative Hotlist, and the incredible disappointment of having 99% of the applicants clearly not even reading the ad - I figured why not give it a shot by posting the ad here.
Please! Absolutely No Design Firms, No Art Directors, and No one who is over-qualified. Sorry to be blunt about it but this job is what it is: A lot of production.
Here we go!
