One more thought regarding this HR consultant. Check to see if this person
is an ESRI reseller (possible bias).

Subject: MI-L mapinfo skills
my job is to maintain a casastral base using MapInfo.
in the context of a wage/job comparison, i received the following comments
from a human resources consultant and would appreciate feedback:
1) "MapInfo is described in the GIS world as a low end program compared to
other GIS programs e.g. ARc Info. Unlike the higher end systems it is not
being used to manage data for engineering, layout or legal mapping."
2) "The off the shelf MapInfo program does not have anoffset tool to enable
layout of property lines."
3) "Skills required to learn and use the MapINfo system are similar to using
word processing systems such as MS Word. There is no significant training
required to enable use of the system as would be required for layout for
engineering or legal tie in."
thanks
