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.

Knowledge is the keyword, i am not sure you understood correctly. I want him to know the principles of clean code, we have coding guidelines here and if someone doesn't know them i won't take him. I don't want to review a pile of junk you know?
For the patterns etc. "such as" is used to give an example.
The carpenter learned all the tools he has and when to use which, i don't ask for anything else, i want a carpenter that knows which hammer he should use for what.
Lastly, this guys does not need to be a dev, he should be a programmer, so if i tell him we use MVC for that he has to use MVC no matter what. Therefore he should know basics about different patterns and stuff.
Hope you got it now

Nowadays every monkey from India who knows words "design pattern" position himself as a "senior developer". As well as words "MVC/MVVM". Are you sure you will find "just a programmer" who know these words?? 
You know in my experience I never ever used any word from "patterns theory" - I always think about solution, despite how it's named. And my opinion is that hype around "patters" just a sign of narrow mind - instead of finding proper solution (what is not necessary a pattern at all), people enumerate pattern names, trying to apply any of 'em. These are monkeys, not a developers. Again, just my IMHO.

That's an entry-level job description.
Excellent for someone who is bright and wants to gain a few years of corporate job experience. I would emphasize that. Attitude is what's most important here.

Hi All,
To Simon_Whale the broad band seem to be working...However the curse of Win 10 (I think I had an issue with an update that didn't like the onboard graphics) I now have the screen shifted up by the taskbars width (I tried to see if the task bar war wider and could be dragged back, it can't) so I checked the connection to the PC (VGA cable was loose) restarted still no joy. Looked for a menu where I alter the setting can't find one, tap not turn off the screens power button re-set itself. All working again, why now even simple problems like that myfirst instinct is too blame Win10? After all it is better than 8. Note to self look for obvious solutions first, before blaming the OS.

Move it.
Right click the taskbar, and make sure "Lock the Taskbar" is unticked.
Then drag it to the right or left of the screen and drop it there.
If it looks ok, drag it back to the bottom, and Lock it in place again.
Chances are that will fix it.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

It's OK now the EDID in the monitor got corrupted I think a reset and it works! 
|

Rule one: Reboot 
The only time I think to toggle power to the monitors is when the UPS goes out.

I did but because the monitor was on a seperate Power Supply it didn't...

|

nope... my Windows 10 will not reboot from GUI buttons whatever I try, unless I do a hardware reboot ... believe it or not, no update could restore this so far

Why am I not supprised...

I wonder if the people who gave it 5 stars would buy this annoying bridge in London I have...
|

I think you'll find that most of the 5 star ratings are ironic. The first review is a satirical classic! You may just find that the reviewer is selling you a bridge!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

I must confess I didn't read all Amazon reviews, I have now and most of are of ironic (like powering with a solar panel and playing an Enya CD) some of the shorter ones I fear aren't, leading me to the conclusion that breeding should require a licence. I do recall the odd film & book from the 1980's that that was wrong, know look at where we are!

Watch selling bridges. Someone sold one to a Yank and they moved it to Arizona.
