m287j, did u ever consider matching their offer?
$100 a week equates to $2.50/hr over a 40hr week.
I know it sounds a bit, but the cost of finding, training & retaining a gooden 4 a reasonable time is considerable.
Looking back, we've had quite a few whom Id have happily payed that sort of extra coin to retain.
When u get a gooden, ya wanna hang on to them (within reason).
We r once again in the process of looking 4 the right one.
Anyone know a keen young bloke in Melb S/east looking to get into this industry, that can keep paqce with an old fart?
Ooooops, sorry 4 thread hijack.
Cheers Fred.
