** Temporary Position **

EFI Web Marketing and eBusiness Group needs a temporary replacement for an employee going on maternity leave. She says:

An applicant would only need a "moderate" skill level at HTML, XHTML & ASP since the applicant would merely maintain an existing web site and would not create new sites. There is a great deal of design work involved at times, so design skills & moderate Photoshop experience are a must. I believe the pay is between $20-30/hr, no benefits, temporary full-time on-site contract position.
