Looks like they are hiring.

Yep, it's not an ARG.
I've just confirmed they are indeed hiring.

Oh, and that's the only puzzle.
I don't want to spoil anyone so go ahead and figure out the second part.
It's really easy.

Too bad I'm from South America. That's certainly a nice way to feed my curiosity about such a workplace.

ps. the answer should be sent in caps, just in case.

Just one clue?

You are right about selecting 11 letters.. To do that, you need 11 things, right? One for each row. What else do you have that has something to do with 11? You don't need any new info for that.

About the UUID, that's the hex-string you already have (from the previous step). You can google what's missing.

ah, got it finally after an epiphany.

ETA: also, moved this to timewasters (not because it's a waste of time, heh, but because it's a puzzle, not an arg, and that's generally where we put them; for FUN wastes of time, relatively speaking Wink

)

If you're using Firefox, Firebug is a great tool for viewing some of this stuff as well.

That said, I do have the word, understand the UUID and know what the numbers are references to. But how do you "make it so"? I'm obviously not qualified, either

So there are 11 letters in "FIND THE WORD", not counting spaces. But I tried looking up the 6th letter of the first row (F), the 9th letter of the second row (I), etc. -- no go. I looked for something 11-ish in the UUID, can't see anything. And the UUID keeps changing, as does the grid of letters, without an obvious pattern, and with no overlap between different grids... mystified. The only other 11-related thing I can see that was suggested above was my implied suggestion of "CHEEZBURGER".
