Paul - You aren't requiring ownership of a giant German Shepherd dog... I presume you supply one out of the company stable?
I'm glad y'all state that a PLS is required, which should be a hard stop on that requirement. I got into email fisticuffs with an aggressive headhunter recently who rattled off the criteria for a survey job he sent me that required a PLS and a 4 year BS degree. I said sorry, I've been surveying for 48 years and licensed for 36 years but I don't meet your exacting qualifications so take me off your list. I included my resume and he got back to me lickity split saying, well, a 4 year degree is preferred, but not necessary. No, buddy, you say it's required. Go wank off. We went back and forth until I blocked him.
