From David Hamel: "Hello classmates. I wanted to use this opportunity to see if any of you can help me get a new job. I have one now. But it doesn’t pay enough and I have to work pretty hard. I’m looking for something in the mid-six-figure range, where the responsibility is mostly offering opinions. I have a lot of those, so I figure I can do that well. I would want a car (I really like the new Audi S5), a company credit card (where I keep the points), a pied-a-terre in the city (of my choice), and a new wardrobe (my shoes are from an outlet mall!). I only plan to work another few years, so a fully vested pension would be appropriate. Ideally, this position is one where the previous office holder did a miserable job and everyone hated him or her so that the cross-bar is pretty low. Oh, and in a warm but not-too-hot climate (e.g. no Phoenix). I’m sure that some of you have come across jobs like this and would be able to offer me some guidance, if not the position itself. Please pass them along to dmhamel1@yahoo.com. Much thanks."
