Experience

We do not require a minimum amount of experience, but it takes 
time to learn
the skills required for this job, so the successful applicant 
will likely
have 5 or more years of related experience.  If you have the 
skills, that's
what we're really looking for, so please apply even if you have 
less
experience.
Education

We do not have a formal education requirement, but given the 
skill
requirements, the successful applicant will probably have at 
least a
bachelors degree in a field related to instructional technology, 
web design,
or another IT-related field, and we expect masters degree 
applicants to have
an edge, not explicitly because of the degree, but because of the 
skills
learned.  Skills trump educational background though, so feel 
free to
surprise us, no matter your educational level.
Equal Opportunity

Deque is an equal opportunity employer.  We encourage candidates 
with
disabilities to apply, as well as candidates of all ethnic, 
racial, gender,
and social categories.
Compensation

We offer a competitive salary commensurate with the applicant's 
skill set.
(Notice that we didn't say "commensurate with experience," though 
experience
is certainly one possible indicator of a person's skill set.) 
Application

Submit a personalized cover letter and resume addressed to Paul 
Bohman,
Director of Training.
