Finally, I hear back
After fifteen (15) days, I finally hear back from MachFind about their job postiion for a member of their Creative Team of Experts.
I have to reply with details about my past experience in “Online Marketing/Business” as well as any “CREATIVE WORK” that may be relevent to their business (which now seems to be returning no results for any search term save for sex, and even then, only one (1) result, which doesn't work). Now, the “CREATIVE WORK” aspect is easy—I've written a couple of meta search engines in my time and made some some extentions to the current Robots Exclusion Protocol.
But marketing?
“I don't have any experience with marketing,” I said to Spring. “What do I tell these guys, that I wasn't allowed to talk to customers?”
“That's called focus feedback,” she said. “Because you are focusing who is doing the feedback and it's not going to be you.”
”Oh.”
Okay, so there's that. And, seeing how Google loves my site (heck, for a day or
so, I was the number one result for “MachFind,” but no longer alas) I can
probably help them with their <META> tags for better
placement there. So I think I can muddle through this, but I'm going to
take my time with my reply.
After all, they took fifteen days. I can probably take a day or two.
