This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Bill, list. =20 When I was hired here at BYU they required "RPT or equivalent". It came down to me and a fellow who had taken "The American School of Piano Tuning" course. Sounded good enough to the committee... Turns out the guy hardly knew ANYTHING and is a lousy tuner! Luckily for them (and me) the would-be CAUT went back to selling pianos so I got the position, by default!! The word "equivalent" must mean anything that sounds like a credential. Go figure! =20 Jim Busby BYU (RPT) =20 p.s. I wasn't an RPT until right before applying for this job. I passed both tests (tuning/tech) in one day. (I DON'T recommend this...) After nearly 18 years of tuning it took this "RPT or equivalent" requirement to force me through the tests. It was the BEST thing I ever did for my career, but frankly, if I hadn't been coerced into taking the test (Thank's, Vince...) I probably never would have bothered. No real need to. (That was my perception at the time.) =20 ________________________________ From: ptg-l-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:ptg-l-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of Bdshull@aol.com Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 11:14 PM To: ptg-l@ptg.org Subject: Re: [CAUT] Re: [PTG-L] Clarity needed? =20 =20 <<<Yes, "equivalent" can mean all kinds of things, too... =20 Bill Shull =20 It's lots of fun! >>> =20 =20 =20 =20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
