| I received one a few weeks ago that I just had to respond to. I normally just ignore them, but this one was priceless. I wish I saved it to share with you.My response to the headhunter was basically there is probably one person in the entire world with that skill set and good lucking finding the person. And when you do, be sure to tell them you've increased the salary range to make it at least worth considering.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog |
