John Kerry is looking for: System Admin / Technical Programmer

[Stan Witkowski]

This is more as an example of what politicians are using.
[Perl + php + Linux, in Kerry's case.]
I don't expect that anyone here will apply for this...

Found, by accident, on (amazing enough)  www.ryze.com
[ Ryze is a social engineering web site specializing in business.
   It's akin to:  Orkut,LinkedIn,MeetUP,Friendster, etc.
   I just signed up at www.ryze.com (I'm SWIT) today(March 30,2004)
   and am treating it as a business-oriented cocktail party of
   friendly strangers that I've wandered into.
   I'm posting this to: NewTLUG and Toronto Perl Mongers.

   Note: This look like a real job, but it seems to be at the
   John Kerry Campaign HQ in Washington, D.C.
   I tried to spot this at www.johnkerry.com, but there is
   just too much there.  There *is* a John Kerry entry at ryze.com,
   and it's all about Kerry's presidential campaign, so this LOOKS legit.

   -Stan.
