At last week's meeting, we had an attendee who was there in search of potential hires for a company he is starting. I told him I would be happy to pass along his request here on the blog.

The position is part time to start, but could grow into a full time position; doing highly technical email and phone support, answering questions about AIR and Flash, but primarily about AS2 and AS3. See their post on Adobe Groups for more information:

We are looking for someone who can provide highly technical email and phone support for technical questions regarding flash actionscript (mostly as2 and as3) and air development. The ideal candidate will have at least 2 years full time experience in flash actionscript. Good communication skills is a key requirement. Our budget is $500 a month for what is expected to be 8 to 10 hours of work. Candidates with a science, engineering, or math degree are preferred but not required.

This is a ground level opportunity with a company that is just getting started. This could grow to a full time position.

The company is listed as a "Stealth Mode Startup." If interested, contact Jack by phone at 215-609-4170.
