I wouldn't hire a designer who's application does not degrade gracefully - had to allow JS just to see her resume.

She's designing social media strategies. Do they have to degrade gracefully, too?

Social media strategies are pretty degraded to begin with...

Good thing she's not a designer then

Agreed. I viewed the source of the page and immediately saw one of my pet peeves--a blank document body that is dynamically replaced via script.

As I typically browse unfamiliar sites with scripts disabled, loading a blank page is instant failure for the site.

You build a barebones static page first, and then you add bells and whistles.

But then, after enabling script, what do I see? Images filled with mostly text. Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgh... I bet they weren't even crushed.

Luckily for her, no business in its right mind would ask someone like me to evaluate any new marketing hires. Engineer-types and marketer-types in the same company are like mortal enemies, forced by circumstance to work together toward a common goal.

Ah although it's typical for designers to do this sort of thing, marketers also do it.

She's a marketer. This is the equivalent of nice PDF, which is the output of most marketing departments to their higher ups.
