The candidate must be versatile, knowledgeable, proactive and
productive. But this isn’t enough; we want the best. If you want to
stand out:

      * You should be smarter, faster and more knowledgeable than all
        your QA friends. 
      * You should be able to name the top 3 applications used for
        source control, task-tracking, automated testing, unit testing,
        continuous integration, code metrics, etc. - and then defend
        your choices. 
      * You should grok the Net. Big time. 
      * Linux should make you smile warmly. Alternately, it should make
        you display the smug smirk of superiority. 
      * Your penchant for detail and precision will border on the
        obsessive. You should have perspired uncontrollably when 64 bit
        processors became available. 
      * You prefer to test features in the most impossibly unreasonable
        manner. If the developers test with the mouse and keyboard then
        you will use a joystick, microphone and serial port. 
      * The idea of working with a team of developers to create
        cutting-edge Internet software should make you unapologetically
        giddy. 
      * Your desire to be the best at what you do should be second only
        to your desire to breathe. 
      * Programming and scripting tasks should not give you tumors. 
      * A quality focus should run in your family. Your Great Uncle
        Noughflote should have been one of the naysayers at the launch
        of the Titanic. 
      * You should be perpetually learning new things because ignorance
        gives you indigestion. 
      * You should be able to defend why Linux is better than Windows.
        And vice-versa. 
You don't have to satisfy all of the above but you should be close. If
you don't have a Great Uncle Noughflote then you should at least want
one.
