Maternity Leave Coverage

Hi all,

I am going to be on maternity leave next April for 16 weeks and I was curious as to what others have done when a fellow Marketo'er goes on maternity leave for some time. Do people typically get a contractor to come in for those weeks? If anyone has any experience in this please let me know.

Thank you!

Re: Maternity Leave Coverage

Hi Amanda ,

I’ve looked into the position you’ve posted, and I’m a good candidate – I'm a Marketo expert (5+ years of experience).

Before sending you my CV – important question to make sure I'm indeed qualified  - Are you looking for someone at the same country as yours (I'm located in Israel), or you can work with someone from abroad?

Thanks,

Guy
