Re: JOB OPENING #2 - Principal (Supervising) HP Technician

I have also seen a number of job listings in various fields from state (
employment agencies (apparently government-run).  Some of these agencies may 
be restricted to accepting applications for the positions only from residents 
of the states they serve.  Presumably, if there were no qualified applicatnts 
from within the state, they could open the field to others...
