using the job boards and weeding through scams, spam, and listings that aren't
relevant to what you want to do, you can go direct to the company and search
for, review, and apply for jobs online on many company web sites.

Customer Service team. Position details, including qualifications and hardware,
software, and Internet requirements, plus an online application are available on
