interested in a job opportunity at my company. The pay is good and its a
great work environment, not like the high school cliques of the times
square offices of Conde Nast.

At CondeNet, we create tailored brands and online experiences for our

On my team, we often have concurrent tight deadlines but recently on top
of that have needed to build new technologies, such as content management
systems and tracking systems, and need to expand our team to do all this
extra work.

So, we are looking for a freelance front end web developer and PHP
programmer. It is a 4 month on site contract. The hours are 9:30-6:00 and
our office is located in midtown Manhattan.

If you or someone you know is interested or has any questions, please
