Subject: Job posting for Google position in Dublin?
Message: Hello, 
My name is Marianne Dove.  I?m a recruiter for Google.  Google is
currently seeking several Unix/Linux experts for a couple of positions
in Dublin, Ireland.  I was wondering if it would be possible for you
to post this information or let your members know about this
opportunity.    If so, I?ve pasted the 2 job descriptions below. 
                                           
If it?s not possible, I understand.  I don?t mean to crowd your
technical list with a job posting, but this is such a great
opportunity, and Google is seeking the very best Engineers from around
the world and I feel there must be dozens of linux experts out there.
I?m hoping I can find some of them on your list via my posting.
Thank you for your consideration and time.

Sincerely,

Marianne Dove
