Thanks for the responses so far! I think all three of you mentioned something I hadn't thought of, so I'm really glad I asked the question. And I understand your points about impressing everyone in any job I might find myself in. It'd be quite stupid of me to make a big change (move) to work for a company only to be a jacka$$, but your point is well taken - it's only as much of an opportunity as you make of it. No one just hands you your dream job, most of all in our industry.
Glasss and RCAC - have you known anyone to get hired below the 1000ME and 150MET times? Or below any of the minimums for that matter?
