It Starts With YOU (A Job Opening)
You probably heard by now the recent marketing campaign of Yahoo! whose core message is focused on YOU. As the campaign kicks off in the US and slowly expands to the rest of the markets (really looking forward to it hitting the Philippines), there's a job opening in Yahoo! Southeast Asia that really coincides with the message of Yahoo!'s marketing campaign and it might interest YOU.
