This has actually generated a fair bit of interest so far, we had a 1st round of interviews the other week but none of the candidates' progressed due to a lack of actual educational experience.. there is also an opportunity to earn extra by the way of end-of-year bonuses & other benefits.. just the "way of the market' right now i guess.. But thanks for your comments anyway Tony

Javed, I would suggest you send an edugeek PM to @bmallott; (the OP)

The OP should really provide an alternate contact method as I suspect Javed will be unable to PM him until they post another 4 times.

EDIT: Have PM'd the OP to advise them of this.

Thanks Kim for the prompt reply and for the message to the OP.
