[LRUG] Where would you look for a job or next hire?

Randomly we had much success with the ulu jobs site.

The biggest and most stupid mistake we made was paying totaljobs to

As a dev you'll need to bring your sales and negotiation skills to the

fizzbuzz and a pulse (optional). They get to watch their business
initiatives slip even further into the distance. Enjoy it while it lasts!
