If you live in the Chicago area (or are thinking about moving here), have ninja-like skills when it comes to Microsoft .NET (expecially with SharePoint 2003 and 2007) and would like to work for a great company, I’d LOVE to talk to you. Send me an email and let’s talk. Please feel free to pass [...]
