		<description><![CDATA[The reality is that it is REALLY hard to dance around a termination on a resume. And guess what? I don&#8217;t need hand-picked great candidate references to conduct my own due diligence. NOPE &#8211; I can get almost any piece of information I need to ensure the proper vetting of a candidate.

Raw talent, skills, proven track record, smart and all of the domain knowledge one would need to sell software and services in the markets we serve &#8211; healthcare.

		<description><![CDATA[Why do so many professionals and businesses now find it critical to have an active blog built into their websites?  If you are writing as part of your career plan, then you likely are not publishing posts just for your own satisfaction or to make your mom proud when you show it off over Thanksgiving (although making Mom proud is never a bad thing).
