When you are accused of the crime of not updating your company's web site, the response must be quick and decisive - especially if your company is a web services firm.

I was just cruising your site and saw the employement oppurtunities. What caught my eye was the date on all of those positions. Is that when they posted (and if so you do have a probelm don't you) or is it somethin' else? Hmmm....

We hired people right after we posted those positions. Unfortunately, all the new employees mysteriously disappeared. We figured the best thing to do was leave the notices up.
If you are interested in applying for any of these positions, please do!
By the way, are you, by any chance, an orphan?
