I had nine people send resumes/letters/emails for the short-term contract
position I posted. That posting was not in a widely read forum...just
RAP,
RAM and a couple notices at airports where I know people.


And of the nine, how many were really fit for the job?

All but one. Some were a bit short on total hours (I asked for 3000 but
could go to 1500), most on Bonanza hours (I asked for 500 but was able to
go as low as 150...insurnace you know).

What kind of job was it - Part 135? 91?

Part 91.

I offered the job to a young gentleman this morning. What I got was a
fellow with lots of mountain experince (he's from Utah), 2200 TT and 600
hrs Bonanza.


One interesting thing: a few years back I posted jobs for a part-time IT
admin person and for an accountant. I got over 200 responses for the IT job
and only five or six were qualified (most were just "hobbists"). Most their
correspondance was attrocious, about on part with someone in early
elementary school.

I got over 50 for the accountant. About 30 were qualified.

The IT guy I hired was a retired IT guy and he still works for me two day a
week and on call. The accountant was a student from Niger who spoke King's
English and sounded like James Earl Jones. He stayed two years until he got
his CPA. I loved to just listen to him talk.
