Are you visiting this site for the first time looking to check out some awesome local talent? Maybe you even have a job position you are trying to fill? Then you will want to apply to be one of the businesses in our directory! First of all you'll need to click on that link up there on the top right hand of the page that says "Apply for an Account". Then you want to select "apply yourself" on the  "DEMAND" account side of the page (that's the right hand side). Just fill out the information and wait to hear back from us. I swear I'll get back to you in less than 24 hours.

Then you'll get an email from the MAP with instructions on how to proceed. When you get to your account you'll want to do 3 things:

1. Write a bio (that's a description of your business), and publish it
2. Choose the categories that relate to your business. You may find that you'll need to make a few suggestions so we can accuratley define what you do
3. Go to your account settings and publish your profile

Once you get all that out of the way, you can post jobs, or take advantage of the very cool project manager function of the site.
