Are the positions in New England? Also you might post what technologies they are using if they have decided; some people specialize in Java, others in Microsoft technologies, etc.

Well ESPN is located in New Britain, CT last time I checked and Since S2Khartop is in CT this week I would be guessing it would be a CT position. Actually is this a fulltime or contract position?
