You may have noticed a new addition to my sidebar today. Unless, of course, this is your first visit to the site - in which case for all you know, it could have been there forever.

Either way, there is a new addition to said sidebar, in the form of Job Listings from Authentic Jobs. These job listings are aimed towards web professionals and in my mind offer a far preferable route to potential employment than your standard call-from-an-agency type affair.

For full disclosure and whatnot, the links to the job listings are provided here through an affiliate scheme, so I do benefit from people finding jobs through the service. However, I have no control over which jobs are shown or the details of those jobs so there is still full impartiality on my part.

Seems like everyone around me is changing roles at the moment, myself included… guess there’s something in the air - recruitment fever!

The company I work for is looking for another Junior Web Developer. I can recommend the working environment and the company as a whole - get in touch via the details below if you think you fit the bill (but remember to say I sent you!)

Based in Bristol or Reading, but starting off with training on-site at Microsoft in Reading, you’ll work on a variety of tasks and projects, including their corporate CMS, building websites, writing documentation, creating Silverlight apps plus involvement with any advances in online technologies.

To be considered for the role you’ll need at least 1-2 year’s commercial web development experience, preferably within an agency environment. Oh, and if that wasn’t much to ask, you’ll also need to be professional, personable and a friendly team player with strong communications skills.
