And chances are, unless you have a good source on that, you might be wrong. That's all I was saying.

 

i'm guessing i'm not. that's all i was sayin'.

 

Honestly, I don't know, I was just post-padding.

 

They haven't done any interviews, phone or otherwise. There has been some weeding down of applications, but no actual movement yet (confirmed by two friends in the department).

Nice of you to guess, Tom, but not helpful.

 

really? and what's your inside info?

and i stand by my original post.

 

I have heard right from the main source's mouth that they've cut down to 15 people. I don't know if they've started interviews yet, but they had well over 100 applications to slice through... If you haven't heard anything, you're probably boned...

 

I'm not sure if this is true or not, but I heard this is down to five with interviews being conducted. Still a couple of weeks from a hire.

 

That's what I was told as well, wannabeu. And the list may actually be down to three.

 

Out of curiosity, what would a position like this pay?

 

It must be fun to just guess and make stuff up. I know from reputable sources that they have not done anything past the list of 15.

 

To play devil's advocate, how do we know your "reputable sources" aren't bullshit?

 

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say the "reputable source" is himself/herself.
