So you're intrested in working for WHERE. Well, the first thing you should probably know about WHERE is that it's a product of uLocate Communications, Inc. If you're interested, check out our uLocate website -- it's all corporate-y and stuff. So anyway, the reason this is important is that you'll see "uLocate" mentioned in the job listings and we really, really don't want to confuse you. Just to make it clear, here's the SAT equivalent: WHERE is to uLocate as Ale is to Beer. Ok, so that probably didn't clear up anything. It did, however, make me thirsty.
Without further ado, on to the jobs.
