1) the geographically closest applicant, or
2) the recent graduate, who won't bitch about the laughably small salary being offered. Why companies don't want more bang for their buck is a mystery to me. I mean - the salary they're offering is the salary they're offering - why not get someone with both the education and experience for the same salary?
Anyway - good luck!

If you can recognize that the salary is pitifully small it's because you know you can do much better. If you know that you can do much better, then so does the company you're applying to and they don't want to spend the time/money getting you into the groove at their place only to have you pack up and leave in 18-24 months if things turn around.
