Doesn't surprise me they are all English, how else would they have the luxury to be able to work for free while living at Mom & Dad's.

[...] As usual, Nestoria looking to take in a few orphans and give them a warm place to code. We have space for several interns to join our engineering teams for a period of several months. For those between university terms, this is an opportunity to put aside all that fancy book learning for a spell and pick up some new tricks from the professionals. Got the summer off? Why not come and join us for three months? It’s a paid position and you will learn a lot of things that aren’t in any textbook. For those already out in the working world, this is a chance to pick up a few new skills and see what the start-up life is like while you are between gigs. [...]

Hi Sean,

thanks for your detailed comment, and glad you think we’re “switched on”.

You’re right, with 10 years experience, you’re not appropriate for the position . All of our former interns are English, so I guess some folks managed to figure it out. That being said, our team is pretty diverse, and we’re open to any qualified applicant applying, regardless of nationality or medical training (or lack thereof).

Happy New Year’s

Hi,

Are you specifically looking for Americans to fill your positions? Cause ‘intern’ to me means ‘training to be doctor’. Okay, I know yanks call IT graduates ‘interns’, but for me intern means doctor. Or Dilbert. Sorry.

If you wanted to recruit in the UK, you would want a graduate.

Perhaps this is my Australianism peaking out. Although I’ve been in the UK for 6 years and never heard anyone in the IT industry use ‘intern’ except when they’re describing an episode of Scrubs.

So, since I think you guys are pretty switched on, the only conclusion I can come to is that you really want an American, or whoever wrote this description is American – it would be wise of him/her to show he/her understands the local lingo for at least as far as writing an ad for placement on your blog.

Not to say that I would be an appropriate employee for this position (10 years exp), but I can tell you I’d be turned off by that ad on face value, which is a shame because you guys are doing great stuff technically and business wise.
