[PLUG] Possible Employement Opportunity

[jbeck@jbwd.net]

Hi All, 

Sorry to hear about the layoffs.  I work for The Vanguard Group (very large 
mutual fund / financial services company) in Malvern, PA.  They currently 
have 1 posted position for a web interface designer, for which I will post 
the details below.  Vanguard does ALOT of hiring based on employee 
recommendations, and it is entirely possible that some positions could get 
filled before they ever reach the employment web site 
(www.vanguardcareers.com).  That being the case, if anyone is interested in 
getting their resume in the door, email me directly and I would be happy to 
submit it in person, and put the word out for you.  Obviously, we have been 
impacted by the current market / world conditions, but Vanguard is a GREAT 
company to work for, and they are sure to rebound stronger than ever!
