[Gllug] Job Advert

[Iain Gray]

Yes I guess the mail could have been construed as some sort of
discrimination, but as this was GLUG I thought I would not be open to
discrimination law-suits.

Absolutely no offence or discrimination intended, I wanted to convey
that the job was not senior or required vast experience.

To satisfy the more litigious of you out there I shall rephrase the
sentence to better conform AND better convey what I want.

OLD:
The role would suit someone who is young, keen and interested in
gaming and who is happy to learn.

NEW:
The role would suit someone who is keen and interested in
gaming, but who may not have experience, but is happy to learn.

There!

But I bet that contravenes something. :-/
I am more than happy to take applications from anyone regardless of
age or any other, seeming or otherwise, distinction that may possibly
mark you as different in any way shape or form to the clearly
androgynous, faceless, immortal, colourless puppets that the rest of
us are.

So - Any takers??

Cheers
Iain
