Patriot Ledger reposts SE position ... but buries it

They must be trying to find the right person to lowball for this position. I think it's been vacant for almost a year now. This was on journalismjobs, but the original link states for an arts writer only.

An EEO Employer

No phone calls please.





When applying, mention you saw this opening listed at JournalismJobs.com.

 

What's an EEO employer?

 

I'd guess a typo. Probably meant EOE or Equal Opportunity Employer

 

My, there certainly are a lot of positions there...

 

I have seen it listed as EEO in other ads.

 

That's the way CNC/Gatehouse always has listed its Mass. ads., with the entry level position listed first.

I doubt the Ledger job ever will be filled, at this rate.

 

Love the "if you live in or around Massachusetts, please apply" schtick. Nice code for "If you can't drive here, don't apply here."

Once again, we present to you the path-of-least-resistance hiring practice, the bane of those trying to relocate.

 

Anything new one this one?

 

Mark Torpey (formerly of the Boston Herald and others) started a few weeks ago.

 

Wow. Interesting hire. Thought he was happy in Lynn.

 

That was once a great Sports section.... sad.

Should have gone after some of the talent that worked there years ago to restore it SOMEWHAT to what it once was.

 

So when are they going to take Earl LaChance's name off the contact list on the Web site?
