a) is available<br>

I'm using the above email to ask a question,<br>
but it's not directed at any person, rather<br>
at the group of folks that posted looking for<br>
network engineers.<br>
<br>
Why not consider telecommuters? Once looking<br>
locally has not found anyone that can fill the<br>
position why not look at folks from other<br>
countries?<br>
