Dear members,

In consideration of the assistance and co-operation we get from Contact Singapore, such as financial assistance towards materials and events, we elect to publicise a limited number of postings on their behalf. Here is a job description for a position available in Redwood City. Our understanding is the position has not yet been filled, thus there is interest in one more "ping" to elicit any potential response.

SingaporeConnect's position is to limit these postings to around 12 a year. We trust this will not be an excessive level for those who are not immediately interested. For those feeling enthusiastic, we welcome you to forward this description to friends (they need not be Singaporean) who may be in consideration of such job opportunities.

Thanks!
