[Pdx-pm] Ruby job (Perl programmers can apply)

[Phil Tomson]

Just thought of something else...

Sometimes these contract recruiters won't give you the time of day if your 
skills/experience don't match the requirements exactly.  If she doesn't 
get back to you, go ahead and send your resume to me and I'll forward it 
to the correct person on the 'inside'.  He already told me that he was 
open to finding someone with Perl or Python skills if he can't find 
someone with Ruby on their resume.
