MSDN is looking for a few good men and/or women

Do you want the opportunity to work with Brad McCabe ?  Brad is a MSDN Content Strategist, responsible for the VB and Data Access Dev Centers (and probably some others).  He is part of the team responsible for much of the content on MSDN.  If you like writing and explaining technology the position of a Content Strategist seems like a very cool one to me.  Here is a post describing the available positions.  (via Brad's Blog)

# re: MSDN is looking for a few good men and/or women

Hi,
I have a good background in C programming. I am also good in J2EE and Java Programming. As for my education I have a BS in Electrical Engineering and a MS in Engineering. I love reading tech magazines (PC World, PC Mag, Wired, PC Computing). I always wanted to write about techologies. If given the chance I am sure I will succeed.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Amitava
