A remote fart engineering position!
Great! I've been looking for a remote position for ages. The on-site work has taken a toll.
Needs a moderation policy. The #1 posting is currently "Fart engineer"
Finally! I was beginning to think nobody out there valued my skills
Funny enough, when I was younger I worked in the game and simulation industry, at the time, we where working on a game that was pretty popular. Anyways, one of the devs comes running in the audio guys office and yells dude turn on the mic, he then proceeds to fart into the mic. The audio guy then stretches it out so it's got this long weird sound to it, we all laugh then a few days later I compile and am running thru a level, pick up a blaster pull the trigger and hear that sound. About that time, the audio guy comes over and is like WTF is going on in here, because I am laughing (loud) uncontrollably (his office was right next to mine), and he was like oh I see you fired the blaster. It made it thru to production as all the execs loved it, the three of us would just giggle every time the game was demoed. Just wanted you to know that your skill may actually be valued.
"The best place to find remote jobs." I get really annoyed when such blatantly false statements are slapped onto a website. If you can't say that honestly then it is a great opportunity to be creative with messaging and say something that adds value. This has been a pet peeve of mine for as long as I've been running online businesses. Our competitors are always #1... all of them, at the same time.
How about: A good place to find remote work. I/We try our best to find you good remote work. Still sends the message and positions the service as one that is for the benefit of the user.
How about:
"Weekend/class project where I managed to implement a form for submitting jobs and a search box, together with the backend. Planning to turn it into an actual website for submitting and searching remote jobs, which will be better than the alternatives because..."
It would definitely get much better reception and honest criticism.
