JOB: Madison Square Garden – content migration to WordPress

I’m working at Madison Square Garden now and we are looking for 3 people to help out moving content from our old CMS system to WordPress.  I was thinking to give some ITPers or Alumni’s head start if you think there would be anyone that would be interested.  This is a temporary contract job 1-3 months max and pays around $25-$35 an hour depending on experience.  Interested candidates can reach out to Sandy Mohan (Sandy.Mohan@msg.com)
Thanks,
oli
