I'm in Toronto trying to fill a position for my company. As in Vancouver,
the market is hot and experienced writers are at a premium. I'm having a
heck of a time even getting resumes from people, let alone finding someone
to actually hire, and I know I'm not alone - I keep getting emails from
cooleagues at other companies asking whether I know anyone who is
"looking".

I posted the position I have available on Monday. I mysteriously didn't
receive my digest for that day, so I don't know whether others on digest
saw the post. If you didn't and would like a copy, send me an email
(mailto:cbamber -at- castek -dot- com) and I'll send you the posting right away.  We
are taking American applicants quite seriously!
