Not that this would be a bad thing but i guess now i went through every position i could possibly ever sit on.
My todays question to you fellow cpians is rather easy for most of you i guess. Well i hope i don't violate any rules now.
Small introduction, as i lost my "co-worker" (freelancer) for which i was the boss through the last year my boss granted me a new person, this time as a full-contract worker in Slovakia. Due to the fact that he is totally overloaded and i am doing everything myself since ... ever... i have to write the job advertisment.
Well i googled and searched for some ads where i might copy ideas from and stuff but i still have no clue if im doing it right. I mean i just finished my BSc a year ago and i didn't study HR mgmt. So would it be possible you guys might have a look over it if it is okay or tell me what i did wrong?
If it is not considered as spam or whatever i would insert what i wrote so far. Thanks in advance 
I need to find someone who can programm and also is able to support it infrastructure, thats what the ? stands for i can't find the correct word. Also some parts are not fulfilled since i don't know what a support guy should know

How about advanced knowledge of Object Orientated Programming principles for starters.
if (Object.DividedByZero == true) { Universe.Implode(); }

i think i'll add that! I thought this would be included in c# but thanks for the hint

It's been my experience that you only need basic OOP knowledge to write C# code but if you're going to write WPF, you really need to know your stuff when it comes to polymorphism, abstraction and other more advanced principles such as lambda expressions, multi-threading, and how to properly use the Dispatcher.

I see you are right

It is highly depends on your company...
1. CS from University or College
2. Lesser CS related degree from College
3. Some specific courses/certifications (like Microsoft certifications)
4. Proven knowledge via samples/recommendations...

Well we don't need a highly trained super guy, i guess a fullfilled apprenticeship might fit. Since i really don't know the pay for this person and i don't know what a good it guy studied or with education costs down in Bratislava i am not sure what would fit best.

Looks good to me
It's short and to the point - I take it you are also going to devise a practical exam for before or at the interview?

We thought about something like that, a small task to programm something so we can see how this guy codes and solves problems

SERIOUS PART
You should write somewhere what the company will pay, the working hours, benefits...
If there will be the need to travel...
WPF / Win Forms ... there it is not clear if it is a requirement or a plus.
The clearer the better in terms of filtering initially.
But afterwards, prepare a good interview, when I interviewed candidates usually I read the resume with them and commented it, then I presented the company briefly and the kind of job and how it is to work with us, afterwards, asked for samples or previous works or, as I mostly took guys and girls without previous experience, I tried to see how they were answering the questions and how fluent the interview was...
Then the first 15 days I made a kind of exam that allowed me to be sure that they were not cheating. It was not important to solve all the issues, but at least I was able to see how they worked them.
JOKE PART
You should ask for 20 years of C# experience as minimum.
Not only English, you will want some extra languages: Catalan is a must!
Capability to travel around a 90% of the time.
Overnights not paid.
...
Good luck.

As i am just doing the job my boss should do i actually don't know what he's getting paid, maybe 2400-3000€ a month? i can just guess. Same goes for the working hours, i expect 40 a week. Travelling is in the role description

I'll clarify that, thanks !
Thanks for the insights of your approach on interviews, i'll keep that in mind and prepare my self

Something serious about that, is it wrong to ask for X Years of experience? I always see some ads ppl want 5 y o e but the guy should be like 18 years old. Should i just write experience without the years?

No it isn't, you can do that, the joke was about asking for more years of experience than the amount of years the technology has been there...
Usually it is not legal to ask for some age or gender, but you can ask for some years of experience and therefore it won't be possible to receive people younger than X, and of course, if they have been working with that technology for a certain amount of time this is a plus as they will know more on that than what is learnt studying.

More than having a lot of requirements it is unavoidable that your new co-worker is trustworthy, flexible and is capable of aquiring new knowledge.
You wont find a perfect match (or only a at high salary), so it is better hire someone who will and can learnt it.
Press F1 for help or google it.

Knowledge of Clean Code, design techniques and patterns such as MVC and Observer
Total b**sh**. How frequently you order to carpenter which shape of hammer to use? Never? So why you ask developer which tool/architecture/etc he should use? Your business is just make professional "technical requirement", everything else is the job of developer.
