Looking for work?

Whether you're looking for freelance, a placement/internship or a really serious full time job the same rules apply. (Actually if you're looking for a 'really' serious job you might be in the wrong place).

Here's the rules:

1. “Passion and enthusiasm count for a lot at Poke” We're always looking for brilliant people. Contrary to popular belief there aren't that many truly great people in the world. If you're one of them we'd love to hear from you. But in order to be truly amazing (in our eyes) you have to be humble too, so you probably wouldn't see yourself as amazing. That's our little Catch 22.
2. If you want us to get excited about you, be excited. Passion and enthusiasm count for a lot at Poke.
3. If you're constantly unsure about what you want to do or what your role is, as long as it's channelled in a positive way we like that. People who don't fit in traditional boxes make for a more exciting world.
4. If you'd like to work with Poke don't assume that you're going to see an advert on the website. Send us a mail. A link to your blog, portfolio or something you've done is quite often much more useful than a CV.

Why would you want to work at Poke?

“We're a creative company at heart and we specialise in digital things” It's a really good place to work. There's lots of really good people here to learn from and spar with.

We do work quite hard quite often, but we're (mostly) doing the things that we love. Plus it's the kind of place where you can actually get things done. If you've got big ideas (as long as they're good ideas) we'll try to find a way to make them happen.

In spite of all that you will get paid.

Please no agencies.

You're too expensive. And some of you are really horrible too. We do work with a couple of recruiters, but they're ones that we've grown to like. Not cold-calling, staff-nicking, lying, cheating thugs.

There probably are ways to make us your friends. But if you were any good you'd have figured them out anyway.
