[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 310704, member: 3444"] Thanks everyone -- yes, Witz, as always you have spot-on advice! He tells me he told them what his base plus bonuses was. I didn't hear the phone interview, but wouldn't be surprised if he positioned things the wrong way. :hammer: I think part of the reservation he has (besides the commute) is signing up for something that he knows is short-term and having to go through the process AGAIN. He doesn't like this. But who does? I'm trying to just be a good listener and not tell him what to do... like: stop whining and pull your big-boy underpants on and your boots and get back on that horse, cowboy! From what he's learned today, it sounds like the position is a level up from what he was doing before, and could potentially turn into a permanent spot. He would be essentially serving in a consulting capacity more than as a worker-bee contractor. Who knows. And apparently it was a head-hunting firm that initiated the contact. They could just be hyping the heck out of the position to get him to bite. Then they have to sell him to the client and hope it works out. We've found that some of these employment agencies don't always understand the positions they are trying to fill. husband has had several offers come his way that were completely unsuitable for his abilities -- makes you wonder if they bothered to read his resume at all. We'll see what happens. I'd love to see him employed before the end of the year, but admit that it's been nice having him home all these months. :) [/QUOTE]
