<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">Ok, thanks.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Well, I guess I'll just speak up. My reason for asking about the salary was slightly two-fold. I've heard of two people who "know their stuff" in Columbus being hired, starting in the 90's, this past month, for Perl programming. Yours is the second job posting in a week that I've been emailed about that wants someone who knows their stuff, would only do Perl, is advertising in the 80's and is having problems finding someone. These were guys who had a few years experience, not 7,10 or 15 like some of may around here. But they are good.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I'm not trying to diss on your parade by mentioning the above, nor start a salary-flame-war (is there such a thing? probably if I google it) but rather (bluntly) point out your range may be too low. And like HOGUEJ, I would rather see people sending job postings to the Columbus-pm when they're local here (rather than make you wade through the perljobs listserv which seems to rarely have Ohio jobs in it).</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Good luck,</DIV><DIV><DIV> Shane</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Jul 18, 2007, at 4:28 PM, Scott Blickhan wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV class="Section1"><DIV><DIV><DIV><DIV><P class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><FONT size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial; color:navy; color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-size: 13.3333px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; ">Thanks Shane –</SPAN><O:P style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; "></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P><P class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><FONT size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial; color:navy; color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-size: 13.3333px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; ">The salary range would be in the mid to upper 80’s total compensation for a strong candidate.</SPAN><O:P style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; "></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P><P class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><FONT size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial; color:navy; color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-size: 13.3333px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; ">Scott</SPAN><O:P style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; "></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><O:P style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "> </SPAN></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV><DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; ">Salary range they are offering would be most helpful here.
