Pfizer is hiring!

I had a conversation with one of the senior IT managers at Pfizer La Jolla yesterday, and she mentioned that the company is looking to hire a project manager and a developer in the immediate future. These are contract positions, however, there may be an opportunity for a FT job for anyone who'd like to switch later in 2008. If you know anyone who is interested, please pass this news on, and have these individuals send their CVs to my attention. I will put them directly on hiring manager's table.
