Two techie jobs in Scotland
1) I've just heard about a new job in Scotland working on a top-notch XP team. See Job One below.
2) I've also been contacted about a job working for
someone I trust, but not in an agile team. "I am looking for someone
who can take high level (or low level) requirements directly from
clients, analyse them and design the required system he/she also needs
to document these into our standard templates before passing it onto
the dev. team/s". The team works mostly with .net.
If you are interested then email me - clarke.ching@gmail.com - and I'll put you in touch with the right people.
For the record: I don't
take any payments, bribes or favours of any kind for this - it's all
part of the service.
