Thanks for your message. You can email me directly at tournaments@nlop.com going forward.

We are looking for someone to work in our Framingham offices 20 - 30 hours per week that's somewhat of a jack of all trades. This person will help out on testing our software by playing lots of hands of online poker, may handle some customer service queries, will be involved in helping us promote various promotions, etc.

A car is required because on some days we may need you to pick something up, drop something off, etc.

We have two websites: www.pokercreations.com and www.nlop.com. Feel free to review both. In addition, our software is powering the Milwaukee's Best Light online tournament now running. Click the Play Now button from our website and you will be redirected into that.

The position will pay about $8 hour. Hours are somewhat flexible. You might even be able to sneak in a little online poker during the day!

If you have good writing skills, can use a computer, good interpersonal skills, like poker, etc. then this is a really good, fun position.

Email me if you have an interest. Include a resume and contact info. Thanks.

please post the pay in the add........unless you are joking!!

EIGHT DOLLARS AN HOUR????? I make more than that taking a crap at work....yes I said it...for you I will prove my point tomorrow morning!

I dont understand the context of this post. However, at 8 dollars an hour how many ppl can afford a working car to run these erands?

[mattw]

if you could play ALOT of poker at work, then the $8/hr would be like RB.

[TStoneMBD]

you really thought they were gonna pay $20/hr for someone to test their software all day? $8/hr sounds generous. i was thinking minimum wage.

[Keepitsimple]

If you can test the software playing online for real money it would be great.

I just found it odd that they are beta testing their software, yet it is being used by Milwaukees Best for a real application.

Who made that outsourcing decision for Milwaukees Best ?
