I am working on a Rails based e-commerce site. I only have a couple  
weeks to roll this out, and I need some help. We are looking for  
someone ASAP. The company I work for is willing to hire a freelancer  
for a minimum of 1 week.

This is a general post for the job.  
[http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/eng/206795827.html](http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/eng/206795827.html)

In summary, what we really need is someone who has rolled out some web  
applications with rails. We need someone who has a firm understanding  
of ruby on rails, and who has a strong programming background.

Aside from RoR, technologies we are using include:  
Linux  
MySQL  
Mongrel  
Apache  
AJAX

It will help if you know stuff about these technologies, but it is not  
necessary. We just want a good experienced RoR developer for a week or  
more.

One more thing, we are accepting off-site candidates. We don’t care  
where you work from as long as you are in the United States, you are no  
stranger to using a chat application, and can be reached by phone.

Does Canada part of US in this context, or it’s too on freezing North ?)

We Canucks even have same numbers like in US.  
If you mis-dial and type 416 instead of 415 you gonna reach me in  
Toronto, and not that guy in  
Frisco =)

PS: I am just in giggly mode 🙂

All the Best!  
Sergey.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am a very experienced developer, with over 11 years in enterprise  
application development. I began working with Ruby on Rails in October  
of 2005 and am looking for part-time, tele-commute, and contract work  
with Rails. I am incorporated, insured, and have many high-quality  
references.

I am interested in the position you have advertised on the Rails mailing  
list for a Rails contractor. I have attached my resume for your review.  
Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss this  
opportunity in more detail.

Sincerely,  
Nathan L.
