[Kelly Bell]

Hi Drupaler,

Is it too invasive to inquire as to why you want to make a change?

I have some good HR contacts and will be happy to help if I can. If interested, would you privately contact me at the email or twitter below with your resume included, tell me your vertical market interests/experience/specialties, and also tell me - have you considered going out on your own (and if not, why not?)? Also please include your d.o. username.

Thanks,

Best of luck in your search,

-Kelly Bell
