    Wow, you ask for a lot! I’d apply but I don’t have the skill set.

    Geez Andrew, what are you sayin’? Waiterblog doesn’t have the same unlimited earning potential that Urban Mixer does? ;)

    We’re now in Seattle now and almost at that ‘tipping point.’

    How’s things on your part?

    haven’t you been posting this position for a long time? haven’t you found someone for this yet? all commission based? what are the chances that anyone would want to do that???!

    Yup, we’ve had this posted for a while, at the same time, I’m not about to take the first person who walks through the door. We’re in no hurry to hire - and I can wait to the right person indefinitely.

    And thanks for clarifying re: commission, the position is built to suit the candidate’s needs and expertise.

    Hi, this remains a matter of permanent record. We don’t remove postings once they’re filled - they just get archived.

    PS to applicants - we have filled this position but are always open to opportunities to bring in good people.
