One of the better resources for tech jobs in the Boulder / Denver area is the
Rocky Mountain Internet User Group jobs list

  * http://www.rmiug.org/html/rmiug_jobs_faqs.html 

That's the best place I know of.  There have also been a few job postings on our
list in the past couple of months.  Look at our archive and see what you can
find.

Good luck on the job search, and when you get out here, look us up.  We'll be
glad to see you.

enjoy,
