Hmm, it’s been a while since I posted some PHP jobs. (You know this is getting inconvenient. I think I need to just write a job tool for php.net.) Received this rec from a friend filling a position for FOX Interactive Media to work on the American Idol site. They can work in San Francisco, Los Angeles or even Seattle.
(Also, if you are the one flash/actionscript developer out there, contact Diana for positions at FOX sports, etc.)

Hey Terry,
Why don’t you use PHPJobs or the Zend PHP Jobs site for posting PHP related jobs ? I think this is the first place where PHP developers are looking at before they move on to the bigger job sites like monster, dice and hotjobs.
