Hey all,

After some recommendations from a couple of STL-PMers off list we
looked at our current staffing and reevaluated our needs. As such
we've redefined the requirements for the job by putting more of those
things in the preferences. If you are interested in the job don't
hesitate to send us your resume and we'll go from there. While our
short term goal is to fill a gap in knowledge our long term goal is to
have an intelligent, well rounded contributor to the team.

thanks,
Matt Follett
