I just sent two postings for the same job position at Development Alternatives--it is a Technical Lead role for the ASEAN-US PROGRESS project. The first message included a small error in the job description that I only noticed after I sent it to devjobs. I resent the job posting with a correction. Could I kindly request that the second version of the posting be circulated by devjobsindo? Many thanks for your assistance and understanding. Here below is the text of the corrected job advertisement. The subject line read: Vacancy - USAID ASEAN-U.S. PROGRESS Project, Technical Lead (Development Alternatives, Inc.)
