Good point, Gary. No, there's nothing wrong with aiming high, but sometimes when a job description is written with unrealistic standards, candidates that might be able to do the job decide that they shouldn't even apply. No one wins in that situation.
That being said, we do appreciate Jeff and other recruiters posting this and other jobs here. Thanks for keeping the engine turning!
