Subject: position open - please forward to Linux Admins

 

Hello Dave,

 

I recently viewed your resume posted on your website and noticed a connection 
to the Phoenix Linux User Group. May I ask a favor of you? If you wouldn't 
mind, please forward this to any colleagues who are qualified as Sr. Linux 
System Administrators. This position is based in Phoenix, AZ. We have a budget 
of $85k-$100k (depending upon years of experience) plus full benefits. For the 
right person, I may be able to push the client slightly over $100k, but it 
would have to be someone very senior. This is a solid "people first" type of 
company, very well respected in their industry. They are known for utilizing 
the latest and greatest technology. The position is open due to growth, this is
