Re: Job Posting

Hi Jane

How are you? It's been really hectic recently and I am just catching up on
listserv emails ;)

Does this mean you are moving on or have just managed to restructure and
get the role you were looking for? Will you get to spend more time with
the kids?

I am still looking for Vermont based job opportunities. I was at
Middlebury University for a job interview recently as Help Desk support
manager ... interesting but a little 'narrow' for what I am looking for..
and they were looking for a more immediate start than I could commit too.

Is the job still open? If so can you share what the salary range/ballpark
for this would be? I know it will not be the same as I get down here, but
money is not everything, eh?

Cheers

John
