[Melbourne-pm] Seeking contract Perl programmer

[Giorgilli, Peter (P.)]

Dear Melbourne Perl Mongers,

I'm currently working under contract to Ford Credit Australia Ltd as
Perl programmer/UNIX sysadmin on whose behalf I'm now posting to the
list. As a preface to what follows: they have been underwhelmed by the
response to their job ("seek.com.au") ad seeking the services of a
contract Perl programmer, which is why I suggested posting here. Without
further ado...

Ford Credit Australia Ltd is seeking the services of a contract Perl
programmer.

This position is now being advertised on "seek.com.au". Search for "Ford
Perl Linux SLES" and you should find the online job ad, the text of
which is also included below.

Note, please direct job applications via "seek.com.au" or simply reply
to this email and attach your resume in PDF-format, or MS Word if you
must.

Regards

Peter
