If you were trying to recruit an Information Systems Officer, as per  this job spec, what questions would you want to ask them in a technical interview?

Just, you know, wondering, out of curiosity, like.

Sounds familiar... "And it needs to be more webby." :-/

My favourite incident like that recently was with a US designer. (One bit of the company is largely based in the US for sales/marketing/events purposes, because 95% the customers are in North or South America.)

Really very nice design came through, which would have been fabulous if we'd been printing it out on shiny card and sending to people as an invite-cum-agenda. But it didn't work well for the intended purpose of email flyer. Between a couple of us, we managed to massage the text and pictures into a half-way decent HTML+CSS email, which looked okay in the end.

One of the many concerns my manager took back in a three-way conference call with marketing+designer was a mention about how much information was being put in graphics. (For example, each day had its date done in a pretty little logo showing a sort of hand-drawn-ish box for that date, and the dates either side, with the middle one highlighted in a different colour.)

My manager pointed out that company policy is to not embed images in outgoing mails, but to leave links in. We find that embedded content like that hits too many spam filters. However, we are aware that many people won't download the images because many recent clients don't do it by default (privacy concerns when spammers do it, etc.)

"Oh," says the designer, "mine does that."

I believe at this point, I borrowed *headthump* from you.
