Looking at a couple of recent job/contract postings, I was  
struck by the fact that neither one said where the firm is.  
One of the postings said:

able to meet-up with project lead to review/assign work

How would someone know whether this is possible without  
knowing where the lead resides?

So really, you’re looking for someone with two very different skillsets:

1. Developing Ruby on Rails applications, and
2. Using an Instant Messenger client.

That’s gonna be a tough combination to find.

Sorry and good point. The posting I made is “able to meet-up with  
project lead to review/assign work” via Instant messenger as we have  
several offices. This would be a work at home position/contract.

Thanks.
