ASOS (Camden Town, London) - Senior .net Developers - ASOS Marketplace

ASOS is a leading and fast growing online fashion retailer. ASOS Marketplace launched 2 years ago with the aim of building a "Global Fashion Democracy"; a platform to allow anyone, anywhere to sell fashion. It was a greenfield project and has been carefully cultivated inside and out to provide a great experience for buyers, sellers, its developers and business users alike.

Marketplace is now at a turning point and 2013 is going to be a big year for the site. We're looking for talented C# devs to help us take it to the next level.

In many ways we operate like a startup. We use:

- ASP.NET MVC - SQL Server - MongoDb - Solr - NServiceBus - Castle Windsor - JQuery - agile - with a lower case "a"

Sound interesting? Apply at http://www.linkedin.com/jobs?viewJob=&jobId=4270875

The site says that I should submit my "photo resume" I've heard of this in Germany - people having photos of themselves on resumes. But can you tell me specifically why you care what I look like?

This is common practice in most countries but the US. In fact, you can read it the other way around: why do you think companies are now forced to not ask for pictures in the resumes in the US?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The site says that I should submit my "photo resume" I've heard of this in Germany - people having photos of themselves on resumes. But can you tell me specifically why you care what I look like?

This is common practice in most countries but the US. In fact, you can read it the other way around: why do you think companies are now forced to not ask for pictures in the resumes in the US?

Saying that it's "common practice" does not answer the question of why you care what I look like. If a person can code, they can code, no matter what they look like. The only thing that a photo does is assist in discriminating based on looks, age, disability, and other non-job-related attributes.

As far as I know, there's nothing preventing U.S. companies from asking for photos with resumes. It's just not common, probably because how one looks is (usually) not relevant to being able to perform a given job.

In the US what companies ARE (in theory) forced to do by law is to not practice discrimination based on gender, age, religion, disabilities, and probably some other things. Which is great in my opinion, I wouldn't want to work for a company that did these things, or wanted irrelevant information from me, information that could only conceivably be used for the purposes of such discrimination.

Perhaps I'm naive, but I would have thought that start-ups, being as they are overly-concerned with "getting sh*t done", would be the last to discriminate on irrelevancies.

Newman Online. London, UK. We are looking for a Python Developer. We allow plenty of home working, but if you do come into the office, you get free tickets to the cinema we work above (and free barista made coffee). There's a lengthy description at https://jobs.github.com/positions/9f7647ee-3c66-11e2-961a-fb... but in short we want someone with a lot of Python, who isn't scared by legacy code, and who doesn't require…

Sounds quite interesting. Would recommend people that I trust to apply.
