Ken, My name is Ray and I have included a link in this e-mail to my resume page on my website. But before you bother yourself with that, I just want to comment on something. I've been in this business a long time (translation: I'm an old man) and while I feel I have probably half or better of the skills you are requiring for this position, it just amazes me at the grand total of skills presented here. I command what I think is a fair price for my skills, but if I had the complete skill set you've put down here I would have to think I'd be worth twice what I ask for now. And it really would surprise me if you pay that much. My point is this... What would a position like this pay provided you actually found someone to meet ALL those requirements? I'm just curious! Thanks, Ray Resume page: http://130.13.112.229:8080/Tech/Misc/res ume/default.htm P.S. I excel at drinking Mountain Dew and eating pizza!!! -----Original Message----- From: George Toft [mailto:george@georgetoft.com] Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 10:28 AM To: James_Yaple@mindspring.com; dblev@qwest.net; carieburgess@yahoo.com; wes@lonerock.com; r.dabbs@worldnet.att.net; integrationengineer@home.com; devander@qwest.net; djjaflower@hotmail.com; kristenchaseford@yahoo.com; briangibbs@home.com; phred@dancris.com; ibra65@go.com; ben42_us@yahoo.com; liz.jones@honeywell.com; philkaplan1@earthlink.net; leifheit77@aol.com; lundbergjackie@hotmail.com; jcmarean@home.com; infodrop@qwest.net; cynthiapinsky@hotmail.com; jeffp@jeffp.com; raypursley@qwest.net; saric41@home.com; rcrc001@hotmail.com; admdavid@home.com; ct85202@hotmail.com; george@georgetoft.com; s_urie@hotmail.com; naadp@uae-internetworking.com Subject: JOB: Network Engineer Subject: [Fwd: Jobposting: Network Engineer Position Available] Date: 16 Aug 2001 23:39:10 -0700 From: Ken Bowley Reply-To: plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us To: PLUG Discuss Hello everyone!
