I want to say I heard they never filled the SE position, but hired the guy who was the Martinsville Mustangs (Coastal Plain League baseball) radio guy. He took a position at the Bulletin, but I heard he wasn't really going to stay but just a few months. That would be my guess as to why they have another ad out.

dude, after sending them covers, clips and resumes the past three openings, they finally sent me an e-mail informing me that they'd keep my "package" on file.

i'm really holding out hope this time around. [/fingerscrossed]

 

TP, I had the "pleasure" of interviewing there four years ago. It's an experience unlike any other.
