Example 3:
Call this one a wild-card example, in that it’s not HIGHLY typical of the work we get paid to do. But if you happened to be able to make things like this, using AS3, you’d already be at third base with us.

REQUIREMENTS:
We’ll consider anyone from any location. We already have an SF office, a Nashville office, Satellite setup in NY. If you’re in one of these areas that’s great, but not a requirement.
If the above examples resonate with you, we’d love to have your consideration.
If not, we welcome a link exchange and would love to hear from qualified people who have done different types of projects, too.
There’s no shortage of talent in the world.
