[Sigia-l] Need Two Consultants

[David Hoffer]

Hi Folks,
I'm looking for 2 full time consultants to work with me here at
CTB/McGraw-Hill. I would need them to be relatively local (within 100
miles of Monterey California) because I would need these folks to be
onsite approx. 3 days a week. If you, or anyone you know, is available,
please let me know. The following description is roughly what I'm
looking for. Please reply to me (david_hoffer at ctb.com) and forgive any
cross postings. Please don't repost. 

Thanks in advance and I hope all is well with everyone,
Dave
