Correction/Apology - TWO POSITIONS AVAILABLE - Toronto, ON

[Candace Bamber <cbamber -at- CASTEK -dot- COM>]

Apologies if any were offended by my thoughtless phrasing - below it says "For
the moment we're looking for Canadians only". Please interpret that to mean
"Must be eligible to work in Canada. Unfortunately we are not currently offering
international relocation assistance".  It genuinely never occured to me that
anyone would take my original phrasing as "racist" (although someone did) -
Canadians in general, and Castekers in particular, are a pretty diverse bunch.

Once again, apologies.

Subject:  TWO POSITIONS AVAILABLE - Toronto, ON

Whirlers,
 We're looking for two or three "all rounders" - Tech comm pros who want to
write user guides and test cases,
function as business analysts, spec writers, trainers, usability consultants,
and technical sales support,
who enjoy moving from project to project, trying new things, and learning,
learning, learning all the time.
You would start out on the "TnT" (Training and Testing) project for our new
policy administration solution
framework, either on the documentation team (probably working on a really big
training system) or the
testing team (doing analysis and writing cases). We need people who can
contribute while becoming
an *expert* on our new product offering. After that? Your preference  and  the
company's needs are
BOTH considered, and opportunities abound.


This is a great place to work - great people, leading edge technologies.

(including a truly great deli). We have a positive, supportive, optimistic, and
high-energy environment, where everyone is treated with respect. Many social
events, sport teams, extracurricular activities if  you're so inclined. Tons of
opportunity for growth.
