News: MarketNet is Hiring! The Growth Continues

I’ve seen more new faces over the past four months than I know what to do with. No really. I don’t think I’ve introduced myself to all the new employees and contractors yet. Some companies staff up too quickly and can’t sustain the workload, and some fail to staff up quickly enough to take the pressure off current staff members.

At MarketNet, we strive to find just the right balance. We’re not perfect at it, but we’re doing pretty well. And due to project workload, sales, and natural growth, we’re hiring again! We’re looking to fill the following positions at our Plano, Texas office:

If you’re using an HTML5 compliant mobile browser, which includes the iPhone and Android phones, you’ll get the new and improved site. If you hit m.youtube.com with an older phone (or a desktop web browser) you’ll get the older, more basic version instead.

The redesigned mobile site features touch-friendly interface changes, speed improvements, and much higher quality video than the previous Edge-optimized version.
