Default Re: "Regional Tech Director Openings"

If you really read the ad this has to be a real pain in the butt kind of job----I think they will have a long difficult time filling all 3 positions-- maybe one or 2 but 3 will take some time

First ---you will have to relocate to the Indianapolis area---lots of potential employees will balk at that for obvious reasons/ Wife, kids, just don't want to move, school systems, current home, current lifestyle, real estate values/costs between Indianapolis and your present location etc. the weather, relocation expenses etc etc etc as reasons not to relocate.

Second----You will be traveling MINIMUM of 25 weekends per year to attend races( the NHRA version of a weekend is probably begin travel Tuesday morning and return home Monday afternoon of the next week)-- then you will have those "other" weekends you must be somewhere( NHRA headquarters, meetings of all sorts with sponsors, meetings with manufacturers etc. meetings and more meetings).There will be at least 2 additional meetings!!!!!!!!(LOL)


Third ---If you are agreeable to and willing to put up with the number one and number two reasons look at the pay structure and benefits that come with the job. To put up with all of the above you are going to have to be very well compensated health insurance, company car maybe, 401K,expense account, cell phone etc. provided not to mention what you actually get paid to do this ( Salary, wages paycheck what ever you want to call it) How much do you think they are going to pay??? Bet it's less than $50-60,000 per year

I just cannot see a large number of potential candidates applying for these jobs. My 2 cents FED 387
