[consulting] Acceptable Job Postings

[Cameron Eagans]

Hey Ryan,

Well, I guess you tell me:  http://groups.drupal.org/node/5383/jobs

I run a business, so I'm not really looking for anything full time.

I guess I just enjoy the prospect of jobs coming to me, instead of having to
dig through hundreds/thousands of job postings on g.d.o. Lazy? Sure.
Effective? Absolutely.

But yeah, I would absolutely +1 a [Jobs] list.
