Please Be Advised: We are looking for serious inquiries only. Please do not “hound” us if you are merely applying to fulfill a mandated job search requirement. If you have no intention of “staying,” or not show up after being hired, you are “barking up the wrong tree.” We are “begging you,” please do not “waste” our time by making us “jump through hoops” or “chase” you; that really “ticks” us off.
