,We have developed our first initial Interface on basis of the pipes prototype that was forwarded to us. We tried to accommodate all the enhancements for the interface that you( Team Erotics) have asked for. Please keep in mind that this is an initial interface which we will be enhancing with time with your consent.
The initial main page would look something like this
This interface was developed with your yahoo pipes prototype in mind, and we have also used the same default values that you have used in your prototype.
Unless you want them differently, we would like to have a drop down box for both the distance range( typically the ranges would vary by a value of 10 miles so they may be 10, 20, 30) and also for the state entry. The city name could be entered in the text field. We wanted to know if you are looking for any specific skill set or specific languages to be given as options in the check box and would like to hear from you about that. Typically we would have a search button which would lead us to the next page which would display the results which would roughly look like this.

The results will be displayed with the percentage match as the first column as it is the main important criteria followed by the company name , then by job title followed by the job description if any and then by the required skill set and the miles away from the desired place specified in the search page.
Although its too early in the development phase to consider the percentage match calculations we have provided you with examples that may give you an idea of how this %match is going to work. We are looking at giving weights for the distance of the searched job from the desired location and also the match of the skill set, the third example for instance the user did not check the pearl option in the search page and so he gets a lower % match.
The forth example is used to illustrate the example where the skill set may not match but the job may be queried on the basis of it being nearer to the desired location. And there is always a chance for javascript being queried for java.
We the hippos would like to hear your suggestions and coments on our interface for its improvement according to your expectations.

Thank you for the demonstration. Myself and the rest of the team will review it and give you feedback in a timely manner.
Have the Erotics discussed our interface proposal? We are hoping to complete a prototype soon, so any feedback would be appreciated.
well nothing as of now, they just mailed me saying they would soon, lets wait.
On the whole the interface looks fantastic, but it would be nice if we had the 'team name' in the interface. 'Erotics IT job search' as well as possibly a description of the search, which I could devise for you if need be. I must admit, as straightforward as the interface is, and all things considered someone searching for an IT job should know how to use this, giving a short description about the Erotics IT search seems like a fitting addition. Any more ideas we come up with may be sent at a later date, but as of now, I think this is a fantastic start, especially the results interface.
Do you want us to give the application a name? If so, would you like to decide the name? You may write the description if you think that it would be better for you, the client, but that is up to you. We are willing to come up with ideas for you. Would you like the application to focus on particular programming languages, or are you thinking categorically (ie, networking, databases, programming, etc)?
A name that includes our client group name, Erotics, would be nice. Take liberty in naming it as you like.
Focusing on particular languages? Not particularly, your interface looked fantastic and covered the majority of the more popular choices, at least ones that current 'just-out-of-college' students might understand. A description of the search may not be required, I merely noted that the front page seemed nearly devoid in explanation, admittedly it is intuitive enough that it shouldn't require one.
