    Just saw this on Craigslist: How To Apply Send an email message to the Craigslist anonymized address for this posting. The subject should read Re: Software Developer/Consulttant Candidate firstName lastName 2016 nsb Replaced firstName lastName with your name. In the body, write a concise statement describing your qualification for each item listed in the above section titled The candidate is expected to have exposure to the following. write a paragraph telling us a color that you are fond of and why. Do NOT attach anything to your email message. Do NOT include your resume anywhere in the email message. So you DON'T want my resume, but you DO want to know my favorite color???

    If it's not broken, fix it until it is

    Actually, I like it. It'll cut out all the "Oh, I took a course in how to write the Perfect CV*, but didn't pay attention in any of my other classes", and the "I read a web-page about how rto BS in my CV" types, who spend a HUGE amount of time working on the CV, but essentially know only a tenth of what they claim. For the colour, let them know that you know that they're kidding. I'd go with something like "cerise with a strong hint of orange, but not too light, so more like a muddy brown, really". * I used "CV" because I couldn't be bothered to type out the accented characters for résumé"

      I'd tell them my favorite color is #00FFFFFF, then wait to see if anyone gets the joke. If they don't, I don't want to work there.

          Transparent white, not bad. Personally, I would go with neon plaid or 'I find the light at 651.23 THz particularly striking' just to see the reaction.

            He's married, you can tell. Ask him about "taupe". Apparently, it's important...

                Or even #FC0FFF. Hell, new computers are 64bit, now, so why can't we have colour codes like #FUK0FF? I'd love to see what colour it is, and I'm pretty sure I'd use it a lot.
