Sean Hackbarth is looking for a new job and a career change.  Sean is one of the good guys I have had the chance to meet while blogging and I wish him the best.  An excerpt of his post announcing his choice to change careers:

Currently I am a bookseller at Barnes & Noble. Since December 1998 I have been constantly involved with customer service. My primary job is to get the book into the customer’s hand. I either find it on the shelf, sitting on a table, get it from a warehouse, or reserve it at another Barnes & Noble.

My loyal readers know I am more than knee-deep in weblogging. Some might not know I have been tapping away on The American Mind since December 1999 which makes it one of the longest-running political weblogs in the nation and Wisconsin.

My biggest strength is my ability to take all the stuff I happen to remember and synthesize, to take disparate ideas and smash them together to come up with a (hopefully) useful solution. That is demonstrated everyday on my weblog where I try to publish insight rather than a regurgitation of what I found on a news web site. At Barnes & Noble that means if the customer provides a vague description of what book she is looking for I can make and educated guess or find alternative titles that would be useful.

If you can help him out that would be great.  From someone who has done the career change twice now and if I can get the gumption to do it a third time, I know how hard it is to make up your mind to change career paths and apply former experience into another career.
