We were just about to hit publish on our post for today, when we got distracted and checked our RSS feeds – if you don’t know what an RSS feed is, read our article on RSS and job search – and we saw that there was a new post at Seth Godin’s blog. He writes great stuff, so we’re always excited to read what is on his mind. When we saw that the post was a job opportunity, our ears perked up. Then we clicked through to the job description, and our hearts jumped like the time in the dining hall when our stir fry was cooked on the same grill as our favorite hockey player. Seth’s company, Squidoo, is hiring a software developer, and the job description is phenomenal!

Seth, being the marketing genius that he is, has put together a basically perfect job posting. We’ve got nothing to add beyond our recommendation to take a look at the job posting, even if you’re not interested by careers in software development. Whether you’re a recruiter, a job searcher, or someone who sells widgets, there is a lesson to be learned. Everything a business does is marketing. Seth and his company Squidoo are clearly showing how well they understand this.

Oh, by the way, they’re offering a $3,000 bounty for a referral, so be sure to tell them who sent you. We’ll admit, the $3,000 bounty was an extra incentive to change our posting schedule and tell you about this job, but the chance to work with Seth Godin is just too much for us to pass up telling you about. If you’ve got great software development skills and an interest in marketing, this is truly a dream job. Working with someone like Seth is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Note: On April 24th we revisited entry-level jobs at Squidoo.
