The extension of our Graduate Training Scheme for 2006 means we're also now looking for a technical genius in ASP.NET / SQL. If you're keen to be a web developer, but the thought of a corporate office full of geeks puts you off, this role could be just for you as we're a fun, vibrant creative agency. You'll need to be savvy with ASP.NET in either C# or VB.NET (we don't mind which) and have sound knowledge of how to work on data-driven web content. Typical projects include: - Design & Development of simple web databases - Page presentation code (HTML & CSS) - Code behind pages - Sending emails from ASP.NET - Producing high quality pages (W3C compliant) - Developing new online functionality - Working on CMS templates You'll be able to focus on your code, as design and graphic work will be taken care of by other members of our skilled team. Distinct advantages when applying will be technical knowledge of using IIS on Windows 2003 as well as adminstering SQL Server. Not essential to the role, but would give you more opportunity to grow into a lead role. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is not a web design role, but rather a technical development role. We use Microsoft Technologies exclusively, so do not apply if your skills are in PHP, Java/JSP etc. How to apply: Please do not apply if you are NOT local to Nottinghamshire or the surrounding counties , as we don't expect somebody to commute or relocate for this role (even if you are willing to); besides we like to have after work beverages and we want you to come too! If you have the skills above and are local to Nottingham, then send us an updated copy of your CV, along with examples URLs and your salary expections. Send your application to careers@personacreative.com. Good luck! N.B. No recruitment agencies please.

Our 2006 graduate scheme for new design talent has gone so well, we've extended it to the technical team. We're looking for a new front-end web developer to join us in putting together some exciting web projects. If you've always fancied yourself as a web whiz and have the HTML skills to prove it, get in touch with us with sample web URLs and you could be working on these projects: - Creating new web sites for our clients - Updating/Editing pages on existing sites - Improving/Adding features to web pages - Optimising HTML for Search Engines (SEO) - Creating Search Marketing landing pages - Managing the Persona web sites Whilst you'll be using Dreamweaver, you'll be expected to be HTML whiz too. Diving in and out of the code to tweak it to perfection will become your mastercraft; if it isn't already. You'll take designs from the creative team and produce them in Accessibile web pages; using W3C Standards and using tools like Bobby/Watchfire to validate. Of course, this will mean keeping up to date with changes and new technologies and improving yourself all the time, whilst being a crucial part of the team. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is NOT a web / graphic design role, nor is it a technical back-end web development role. This role will be 100% focused on web page production and optimisation in HTML & CSS, with any skills in ASP.NET useful, but not essential. Web designs will be provided from the creative team. Photoshop / ImageReady skills in processing web-optimised graphics would be advantageous, but not essential. How to apply: Firstly, you should be local to Nottinghamshire or the surrounding counties already. As this is a graduate role, relocating or long-distance commuting won't be feasible. If you aren't able to work in Nottingham city centre already, the role probably isn't for you; besides we want you to come out with us and have some fun! If you ARE local, that's a great start. Send an email to careers@personacreative.com with your updated CV and sample web site URLs. NO DECENT URLS = REJECTED. Finally, if you wish to be contacted regarding your application, tell us your salary expections and current availability. Good luck! N.B. No recruitment agencies, please.
