Thanks so much to everyone for your help, advice - and laughs!
Even if it turns out to be too late for my brother to benefit from the advice with this job, it should help make sure he doesn't make the same mistake again.
Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond to my request - it;s really appreciated.
Btw, I'm sorry it;s taken a while for me to post this - I've been away, without internet access.
