They're baaaaaaaack...still bootstrappin'

Um...serious question, having seen this publication...they have a sports section?

 

Gee golly, a real live letter of recommendation! Glad they cleared up.

I'm disappointed they've done away with the parts of the ad that allude to bringing a sleeping bag and your own snacks, sending your stuff to "Village of Lenox, MA" and making up words like "stipendium" and shit.

Just for fun, I emailed this guy the last time around and asked if the job is full-time with benefits, his response was "Yes and no. 30 hours a week, no bennies. If you are willing to sell ads and write, I offer a stipend. Other wise, I pay by the inch and for each pix." Draw your own conclusions.

Either A) Dude was behind on his oil/electric bill, or B) dude was piss-shittin drunk

 

Imjustagirl: Honestly, as much as it was a 30 minute waste of my time. Probably the funniest interview I've ever experienced. Does it at all entice you to possibly apply if I were to tell you that George (the Beacon guy) looks like a totally destitute man's Wilford Brimley? He definitely does but he wasn't nearly as awesome.

EmbassyRow: I think he wanted to start a sports section. Again, I think. No clue if that was what he really wanted to do or if he was simply pumping my tires.

Ice9: Is it possible if I respond with C) Both?

 

Didn't think of that. Good call.

 

That explains a lot. Doesn't diabeetus inhibit blood flow? He probably was just cold.

 

Well, now that you word it like that, I'm starting to feel a little bit bad for the guy. I meant that merely from appearances. I think HIPAA regulations might prohibit me from knowing the guy's health history.

 

So THAT'S what happened to him.

 

Quality website/blog the Beacon has ... Sigh.

Their ad reps are contract employees, they get unpaid vacation as a benefit ... but they get free advertising space and mentoring relationships as perks!

The job includes collections as well. Bring your crowbar.
