Hello again,

Thank you to everyone who responded to my earlier posting for resumes. There
have been a large number of questions emailed to me about when we will be
contacting people that we are interested in
hiring for the Janesville, Wisconsin excavations.

Unfortunately, the start of the project has been
delayed due to high water levels and subsequent flooding of the sites planned
for excavation. Because of the delay, we will not be contacting
people and hiring etc., until after the week of September 15th.

I also am currently working out of the US and do not have regular access to
email.  I will not be able to return emailed messages until after the 13th of
September.


Thanks again,
John Hodgson

Folks,

Mark, who I finally had a chance to meet this spring at the SAA's in Montreal,
makes a good point here.  I want to encourage you all to respect the fact that
Mark, as well as anyone else who is forwarding relevant job postings to this
list, are making the time to send these on as a courtesy to all of us. 
Unfortunately there is a small incidence of people who reply to these messages
without looking at the sender and end up sending Mark, or some other unintended
party, their resumes, letters inquiry, etc... Like many of you Mark is often on
the road or overseas and uses limited space web mail servers which can easily be
pushed to their carrying capacity by a resume with a gee-whiz logo in the
corner.  More importantly when you think about it, would you want to hire
someone who mails a resume to the wrong place? ;-)

And now with that little issue being addresses, I wanted to remind people that
if you are on a niche mailing list or a department faculty member and a job
announcement goes out that you believe might be suitable for the Shovel Bums
audience please forward it on.  It helps out everyone, and I am sure in the
reverse situation you would have loved to have had the opportunity to have heard
about that position.  I try to intercept these forwards when possible to fix the
"reply to" address so that you will not inadvertantly get a few resumes back as
mentioned above.  And hopefully with these occasional reminders that situation
will become almost non-existent.

Thanks for your support.

Onto the original posting.

Best,

R. Joe

me your queries, job application, etc.

A lot of folks out there really need to learn how to read ads on who
you should reply to.  Best, Mark Hall ]
