Please just post your inquiry one time into whatever forum best suits the topic.

Chucaralao I have a set email response for inquiries that states my typical qualifications, attaches my application, states if they meet those requirements, I’m scheduling appointments x date between 12-3, send preferred time and I’ll confirm, and that I do not accept applications until after meeting at the appointment.
