i hope that post was a joke

 

Are you saying the sports editor of the "No. 1 college newspaper in the country" should have enough contacts to not beg for a job on a message board?

By the way, I could work for the newspapers in question if they paid me a ton of money. I accept PayPal.

 

IU, I'll try to put this mildly, but why in the hell would you sit back and tell them to call you?

Odds are they will get a good number of resumes.

Show some initiative and send the resume without being asked, especially since it's an open position.

 

Really? I think the sports editor of the 274th best newspaper in the U.S. would know better. What is this, amateur hour?

 

Apparently it is, Nick.

And nice avatar.

 

That's great and all, but are you lovely and talented?
