Hey, get your own recruitment thread! ;-)

For the Web Analyst Programmer job at Murdoch, the job description
says Degree OR equiv experience. I think we'd quite happily employ
someone if they can demonstrate they have the skillz required.

The original Ad for the position can be seen at:
   https://wwwforms.murdoch.edu.au/pls/news/NEWSQITS$NITEM.QueryView?P_UNIQUE_KEY1=4405

That includes the position description, etc, but feel free to shoot me
any questions you may have.

And no, the Murdoch News & Events system is NOT an example of our
current work (or any of our work - it was done by a different area
many many many years ago). ^_^
