When we find the right person. The owners actually said the words "If you find the person who is 100% right for the job, they can start next week."

I see you have no jobs in the area of law enforcement. Whats the qualifications for videographer? That was a sarcastic question, don't answer that unless I can do it from home.

If somehow it didn't require relocation I would apply. I've been a fan of ECS for awhile.

Knowing the job, I don't see how that would be possible, sorry!

Also, you would be surprised how often we hear exactly those words...

That would be a dream job for me, and I'm local, but unfortunately don't have the required familiarity with Porsches.

I assume you are familiar with cars, would you be willing to study Porsches? I would be willing to teach if you were so inclined. I have all of the "required reading" sitting in my office, just let me know.

The Cinci to Akron commute would put a serious dent in my everything-else budget - too bad, as a career in Automotive performance would basically be my dream job...good luck finding a good candidate - I hope its a GRMer!!!

I also have a two bedroom house...we're only using one bedroom...

(there would be a separate interview for that, though... )

as tempting as that is (and trust me, Im not being sarcastic when I say I read the two bedroom bit and actually considered it for a moment), SWMBO would use my junk as a knife sharpener if I told her I was moving us into one rented bedroom Medina to hustle euro go fast parts - American muscle parts, maaayyybeee she would go for, but my guess is I'd still end up being served papers before long lol.

I would imagine that cost of living/ housing would be low in Akron, yes? I grew up about 50 miles east of there, still remember the blimp hangers.
