[CAUT] Position Available

[ron worth]

I was the last technician there. The problem is the University has
provided no (rebuilding) tools, space and shop for any of the pianos.
You have to provide tools, space and shop for repairs. I failed to convince the University to supply tools, space and shop.
Most of the pianos need shop work, yet there is no shop, space or tools provided for this work. Dr. Parr is aware of this.
You
can only house call service the instruments so much, then serious
rebuilding tools, space and shop is unavoidable and required.
I was
naive enough to believe I could do the job without the rebuilding
tools, space, and shop. It's strange because the Fine Arts College
is
provided with a fully equipped repair/carpenter shop and space for
building their stage props. If you have all the tools, space, and shop,
then,
and only then do I recommend SFASU. Since the university climate
control  "problem" appears among 90% of the of the commentary
put
forth by CAUTS, it will suffice here to say the climate control has
been the chief complain of all the technicians who have gone before
me here at Stefen F. Austin State University.

ps.: I encourage and support any technician to contact me if Stefen F. Austin State University position is bestowed upon them.
I contacted my former colleague before serving at Stefen F. Austin State University which I found very helpful.

Thanks and this is interesting.



When I was interviewing exactly 3 years
ago this week, this job became available just as I was asked to interview
at UNL.  Does anyone know if they ever filled it, the tech didn't
work out, didn't like it, etc.  I checked out the position and it
looked a little less than what I was applying for, but still looked like
a fairly decent position and cost of living is average around there (back
3 years ago)



I may inform a fellow tech who's toying
with the idea of CAUT work, but wondered if any of you know what happened
in Nacogdoches.  (could it be the spelling of the town :>)  
)
