Dang, this is what I needed 5 - 10 years ago.

Everyone has a temper. It's important how you handle yourself when you're angry.
This is not a place to work if you lack self control.
Edit to add:
Let me know if you have any questions about the positions. I can answer publicly or through I/M.

You should give preference to someone who does not understand what you wrote, no reason to use the hamla habla in the USA
6/13/2012 12:43:31 PM
Su español es muy bueno. Estoy seguro de que hay opciones para ti.
I think we're just having fun. I said you must have a strong command of English.
Thanks for the resumes. We've contacted a couple of you already.

We live in the Pflugerville area which is on the north side of Austin and it still took us almost 4 hours to drive home from DFW last Sunday after we ran the Wounded Warrior 10K... Traffic on I35 was nuts, especially between the E/W split and about Belton...

Wish I was in Forth Worth over Round Rock for the first time ever. I'd love this type of position if I could finish going to school while I worked and I should be quite qualified.
Good luck finding a good fit.

Sí, estoy haciendo esto por diversión y para reactivar la rosca en caso de que existe una combinación perfecta entre el empleador y el solicitante. No estoy cualificado y aún no es una manera para mí falsos que podría llevarlo a cabo. Lo que es aún más divertido es que mi primer major de la Universidad era literatura inglesa. Que y no hablan una colpa de español.

Thanks for the update, shot the resume in over the weekend without knowing there was a more complete description on yall's website. Didn't know if i showed up a little too late for the party, or if i was just too anxious about possibly hearing back.
