Off-Topic: Looking For: Canadian Web Developers!

Our agency (Vdot Media) is looking to add a part-time Web Developer or two to our virtual team.

We've got a rapidly growing business and need some folks to help fill the gaps, with the potential to become further integrated into the company in the long term. The preference is to bring someone local to Toronto or Canada for immediate paid work.

Take a look at the type of person we're looking for on our (WordPress-powered) site or take a quick peek at what I've pasted below. Our client list includes Microsoft Canada, B Wyze, AMA Toronto, LIVE Conference, and more.

Please contact me if you or someone you know is interested at careers(at)vdotmedia.com.

Who we are looking for

Our ideal candidates are almost just like us, but definitely bring their own unique seasoning to the mix. They are:

* Creative, strategic, open, and critical thinkers
* Passionate about design, media, and marketing
* Able to translate strategic direction into visually stunning and effective designs (or code)
* Leaders and team players
* Not afraid of ambiguity (in fact, they embrace it)
* Ready for growth, and to help others grow

Also, we are looking for individuals who have:

* An online portfolio, blog, or any kind of presence
* 2+ years of related experience (whether that be professional or hobbyist)

Thanks for the kind words Justin!

Btw, a job board would be wicked for YGG as long as its a) integrated, b) given sidebar love for promotion to homepage visitors, and c) free ;).

I think it could work great. Maybe before going full blown with a new section you could try to:

- Change "Forums" default landing page to the "Categories" section
- Reduce the overall # of categories, combining where you can in sections that have limited posts
- Add a "Job Board" category and highlight it a different colour, and then have a starred topic in there that suggests a standard format for posting jobs

Based on success of jobs/general opportunities being posted there, you could then move to a full-blown job board.

Looking for anyone in marketing or sales? :)
