As you may know, I’m #jobseeking.
This job description cracked me up.
"UX / UI Mobile Designer." Okay, already that’s a lot of things going on. This is a mobile specific UX role? Pardon me, UX / UI role.
"Remote role." Great.
"LONGTERM." Great!
"PURELY UI/UX DESIGNER ROLES." *Squints* Hmm. Well, they flipped the order, so is it more UI than UX? And… 'purely' UX/UI! Okay, hmm, I wonder what that means… so, no other tech activities like project management or coding or BA work? Okay, great, I guess!
The first four bullets look pretty good! Proven experience in UX/UI, strong understanding of user centered design principles, ability to collaborate, knowledge of interaction design.
And then we get to the 5th and 6th bullets:
- "Experience with Angular or similar front-end development frameworks is desired"
- "Ability to provide working code and proof of concepts to collaborate effectively with the engineering team and demonstrate design concepts."
*Squint returns, intensified*. Huh, it looks like they want someone who can write code. Did I read that right? Provide working code and.. proof of concepts, to collaborate with the engineering team and demonstrate design concepts…
At this point I shrugged internally, shook my head, took a screenshot, and moved on.
This company clearly hasn’t ironed out what they’re really looking for, and if they have, they’re looking for a unicorn — and that isn’t me!
Those roles exist and are super cool, but should be advertised (and paid) as such.
But this specific role dropping the phrase (in all caps, no less) “PURELY UI/UX” and then sneaking bullets 5 and 6 in there, gave me a good little chuckle.
What other so close, but so far job descriptions have you seen?
