[Pdx-pm] Job Posting: Web Programmer at Second Story

[David Brewer]

Hi there -- I'm a web programmer at a company called Second Story
Interactive here in Portland.  I'm new to this mailing list, although I've
been programming in Perl for a few years now.  I have to confess that
I actually signed up specifically to post a job opening, although I look
forward to following the list from now on as well.

Our company has a job opening and I thought that people on the list
might be interested to hear of it. It's not specifically a Perl position,
but rather a position that requires a flexible programmer who is willing
to learn new languages and technologies as projects demand them.
If you know anyone who might be interested please pass the information
along.

Thanks!

David Brewer
