William Sherman said, "For some inexplicable reason, I often see ads which
request local candidates only. It is almost like the management thinks you
must be local in case of being called out for work."

William:
It's not inexplicable at all. None of them want to pay relocation costs for
non-local candidates.
What bugs me is job boards that send me alerts for jobs supposedly in my
area (Atlanta GA) that request local candidates only-- in Massachusetts,
California, or Texas.
