Hello Sally,

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for this excellent posting. I think it would be hypocritical given all the (often justified) negative feedback from linuxjobs subscribers if we didn't also praise better-than-meh job adverts. Sorry for the delayed response, I don't check very frequently!

The first thing you did right was attempt to customise for your target audience. This alone is worthwhile for the same reasons customised CVs are to companies. Thank you for including all the relevant detail, a suitable summary and simple formatting - I'm based in N. Yorks, so could see immediately there isn't anything for me.

I do have one criticism, since you asked for feedback - not all Linux and Python/PHP jobs are LAMP. I know this seems relatively technical, but the wikipedia page[1] on LAMP is very short and gives you just enough information to recognise these differences. In particular the Bristol job is desktop software (so no A or M) and the Daventry job is Postgres not Mysql (LAPP).

If anyone else wants to see more of this kind of posting please add your compliments.

Yours sincerely,

Philip Morrell
