Re: How do hiring companies view TW resumes?

[Ken Poshedly <poshedly -at- bellsouth -dot- net>]

He's currently employed by a similar company and says the relocation 
(at his expense) is not an issue.  We'll see.

And as much I myself would like to telecommute (I live 53 miles from 
my office), it's not practical because of the need to physically mess 
with the machinery for researching / verifying data, and delegating 
someone onsite to do your work is not gonna work. Plus, the company 
simply doesn't allow it.
