[Thousand-oaks-pm] Forwarded example of job posting request

[Daniel Sherer]

Group,

We spoke about this sort of request at the last meeting, so I thought
I'd forward it to everyone and we can discuss what to do with future
requests.

This one is a little different in that he actually appears to be
recruiting for his own company.  Usually they are from a third party.


Daniel
