LibraryThing Hiring

Not only is LibraryThing hiring, but they'll pay you if you help them find a new employee!

Find us a Maine—or anyway within an hour of Portland, ME—employee and we'll give you $1,000 in books.

We did this once before. It's how we found John, our Systems Adminitrator. (John found himself, so he got his own $1,000.)

Jobs. We have three potential jobs to fill.

• Hacker. We're looking for PHP hacker. JavaScript genius and library-data experience. We hope we get two of those.
• Graphic designer/user-experience guru. Experience designing for data-rich sites like LibraryThing a must.
• Brainy, overworked assistant. Smart, flexible, organized, relentless—willing to do both high-level (strategic analysis) and low-level (send-out-these-CueCats) work. The job is non-technical, but you need to be super-comfortable around computers.

Rules! You get a $1,000 gift certificate to Abebooks, Amazon, Booksense or the independent bookseller of your choice. (Longfellow Books? Books Etc.?) You can split it between them. You don't need to buy books with it (but why do that?).

This is such a neat idea!!!  I don't know anyone in Maine - but maybe you do.  Learn more here.
