Inattentive Mobile Developer’s Wanted

So I just came across this posting for a mobile app developer in Tulsa:

Job Order #6241

Posted Date: 5/12/2011 Job Category: Computing/MIS Position Title: TULSA - Mobile App Developer Salary Range: Location: Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Description: Mobile App Developer  Addison Technical currently has opportunities available for Mobile App Developer’s. Requirements are as follows: JAVA Script IOS Development Android Development Pearl Development Oracle SQL/PLSQL HTML/CSS Please send resumes to cthompson@addisongroup.com

I have all of these qualifications but I just couldn't bring myself to apply. I recognize that it may be counterproductive but I refuse to have my technical skills scrutinized by someone who doesn't know the difference between Perl and Pearl. I did however, send cthomson the following email:

Howdy,

I was looking at your recent posting for a mobile app developer which lists the following requirements:

·        JAVA Script
·        IOS Development
·        Android Development
·        Pearl Development
·        Oracle SQL/PLSQL
·        HTML/CSS

I just thought I'd let you know that "JavaScript" is one word and only the "J" of Java should be capitalized.

The "i" in "iOS" should be lowercase.

The computer programming language is "Perl" - the spelling you used is the white things they find in oysters.

And finally "PL/SQL" should have a slash between the "PL" and the "SQL."

If you have people applying that don't notice these errors, you probably shouldn't hire them.

If you're interested we'd love to have you attend our newly formed mobile computing interest group, at which there are several folks that meet this criteria. Our next meeting in on Tuesday, May 24th from 6-7:30 at Hardesty Library. Check out our website at http://mobiletulsa.org

Best of luck,

-M.

I opted not to point out that the opportunities they had were for "Developers" and not "Developer's" because the job posting wasn't, after all, for a grammarian.
