What do you think about this subject?

We Answered:

Very disturbing.

Wendy Said:

Why do gays lie about a 10% or 15% number?

We Answered:

No one is lying about the percentage, they are simply mistaken. The Kinsey research is out dated and not reliable, but many people do not realize this. Your figures are correct, but I think more people would realize this if you presented these facts in a more agreeable manner.

I need help with web design?!?

We Answered:

Wow... that's a big can of worms.

First off, are we talking the national Coldwell Banker website, or just a local CB office somewhere? My guess from a quick glance at CB.com is that they had this national website developed using a content management system. There is a survey module, multiple forms, national property search, tags, tabbed content modules, rss feeds, some sort of media management module, etc... i.e. lots of database interactivity.

What THAT means is that from an upkeep point of view, most likely this website's content management system will have a "WYSIWYG" editor (What You See is What You Get) that doesn't even require a knowledge of HTML or CSS (although it's always helpful). Most tasks will be done using the HTML editor (such as CKEditor), or some other sort of web-based admin.

If the "test" asks specific web design questions, I would guess the most important questions would be either basic HTML stuff (like paragraph tags, how to make text bold (<strong> NOT <b>), heading tags, what is a span, what is a div, what is a break tag). OR maybe basic CSS and the different methods for applying. MAYBE what the current HTML standard, what is XHTML....?

If the test is more general about updating a site built on a content management system, you might see more general web questions like what a text editor is, what is a 301 redirect, what is a domain name, etc... It's really hard to say.

Another thought is if the site in question is displaying listings from the local MLS, whether you'll ever need to import/export listing data to or from your office to the MLS.

If it's been awhile since you've done anything on the web, I would say get a BASIC understanding of web concepts - domain, hosting, css, html, rss feeds, social networking(?), search engine optimization. It would be otherwise almost impossible to anticipate questions unless you knew for sure what the site in question is built with... And... when we hire, we would rather have people with good spelling, grammar, attention to detail, willingness to learn, etc. We can always teach specific web skills but those strong foundational skills (someone who can write a complete, grammatically complete sentence) are rare.

Oh... we have some good basic web info on our site in our "techville" section (a series of articles we wrote for a local paper): http://www.zolmedia.com/Techville.aspx.
Good luck!

do you believe that no matter how hard you work, you're still not where you are now?

Robert the Bruce said, " If at first you do not succeed, try and try again". Rejection should make you even more determined to get a job. It may be in these tough times that you have to take a job well below your capabilities, but that will demonstrate your willingness to work and will convey this to a prospective employer. Maybe your interview technique needs polishing. There are some great publications on the subject. I wish you well for the future.
