Sportswriter, Roswell Daily Record

any moving money involved?

 

So it's been a few weeks, so I figure they hired someone by now and that person has quit, necessitating another job posting.

 

you're hired.

 

I'll always kind of dig Roswell, but not really.

 

i heard it's not much of a town, but a great place to work.

 

Roswell. Again. Just like clockwork.

This paper has to hold some sort of record for most openings for the same position.

 

An opening in Roswell. Is it Friday already?

 

Martinsville beats it in that category.

 

I wonder if this is just a reposting of last month's ad or did they hire someone and that person quit already.

 

I'm betting they never filled the position.

 

Bu, bu, bu, buh, "due to the volume of applicants" surely they could have found someone by now.
