need a job? come to toronto

May 06, 2004 20:42 +0000 | Employment 3

i just got a call here @work on my cell from a guy who wants to offer me a job rolling code for $50k/year. contract at first he says, but permanent after 3months... it's in missasauga (ew) and i already really like my current job so i'm not likely to take it, but this is the second unsolicited call i've gotten in just a couple months and i stopped spamming people with my resume about 5months ago! i'll talk to the guy a bit more, 'cause i'm not an idiot, but this is just plain amazing. it's almost got that .com boom feel to it all...

so yeah, if you need work and you're a geek, toronto seems to be the place to be.

Wow, pretty cool Dan! Too bad I like Ottawa (yes, call me crazy ;). But it's good to know people are looking to hire geeks again. What type of coding were they looking for?

the call was rather brief, so i don't have much info. i believe he was looking for a php programmer and wanted to know whether i was better at frontend or backend stuff. the job invovles some design in photoshop/flash (ew) as well as lots of code (mostly frontend).
