About MichaelCrawford
We expect to retain a few consultants towards the end of the year, if things go well we will hire some W-2 employees in Spring of 2016.
If you'd like to work for us, whether as a consultant or employee, please mail your dead-tree cover letter and resume to:
Michael David Crawford
650 NW Irving St
Portland OR 97209-1272
USA
Consultants may send brochures or other marketing lit rather than their resumes. If you are a consultant, really a trifold brochure is far, far better than a resume and cover letter.
While I cannot guarantee response of any sort, to the very best of my ability I _will_ reply. If I don't think we could possibly extend you an offer, I may be able to suggest someone else who could.
I won't ask you to do any coding outside your interview. I myself regard coding challenges as unpaid labor. My decision to pursue this startup had a lot to do with my decision to boycott coding challenges.
Wish us luck: most new business fail within the first five years.

I expect that's the specific reason "The Hot Zone" and "The Coming Plague" name the victims. That is, rather than "An African man had Ebola" they would say "Arthur Obama had Ebola"…
