CABL Forum - Re:Broadband Field Technician in Northern VA

Sorry guys, but I've already received a dozen resumes of people with very close qualifications to this position. You're reading too much into the requirements. We're not looking for an Engineer or a Project Manager. We're looking for a well-rounded tech who can assist the PM, make his own decisions and potentially move up to more responsibility - this is a long term position with great potential for the right person.
