You guys are great. Thank you.

And just to let everyone know, I'd like to wrap this thing up in a hurry. I don't want to have a position stay open for too long during football season.

Thanks to everyone who has applied. I've received many quality resumes and clips. There's too many good people out there looking for work.

 

Football season? Lance, we both know the real work in Oregon comes during wrestling season.

 

apparently a hire will be made within the week

 

Now don't fence me in, there D. I do want to make a hire soon, but let's not put an exact date on it.

 

Folks, we've made the cut, and I've contacted those on the extreme short list the past couple of days. Thank you for applying. We had many, many great resumes. It was a difficult job to whittle down the list, but it had to be done.

Thank you. And to those of you who didn't advance in the hunt, good luck to you. I wish you all the best.

 

So, Lance, are you saying it's too late for me to send you my resume?
Your friend,
RB
;D

 

Being just up the road from GP, I've seen the paper a number of times and they do a number of things well for a paper that size. Not a bad gig for either entry-level or someone with a couple of years' experience.

 

RB, nice to see you stop by. I look forward to talking with you in the near future. Give me a buzz and let me know the next time you'll be out this way. Would love to do dinner and a beer.

 

Thanks to all for applying. Once again, we received several quality resumes and clips. Narrowing down the field was a difficult task. We did make a hire today, though, and that person will start in a couple of weeks.

A sincere thanks to all.

 

Who is it??

 

Well hello, IJAG. Nice to meet you. After reading SportsJournalists.com the past few weeks, I must say, you're one of my favorites. Maybe I'll continue to come back here even after I put this hiring business to bed.

And I'll let the board know who was hired as soon as that person ties up a few loose ends.

 

I appreciate it, Lance. You seem to be a good egg.
