Does it seem strange that on one page there is a thread about how the USA Today is cutting out everything, laying off people, consolidating stuff - and on this jobs board it is advertising something like 50 open jobs?

 

This Supreme Court reporter job they talk about on the second page - Is that basketball or tennis?

 

Well done.

 

applied for the baseball one Tuesday, so we'll see what happens.

 

Anyone have any idea what something like this would pay? They ask for salary expectation, and it occurred to me I don't really know where "blog editor" would slot. Along the lines of a print reporter, or more like an editor? What about after USA Today's reorganization? I'm uneasy about the salary question on job applications anyway, but this time it's especially confounding.

 

I put 45,000. I figured that's reasonable enough for a starting point without sounding high, but who knows if I'll even get a response. Most of my baseball experience is on a freelance basis, so that might not be good enough.

 

If that position is based in McLean, $45K won't get you very far. Just saying.

 

I'm sure it won't, just like I'm sure I won't get a response.

 

Well, crap. Stuff is just too damn expensive then.

 

I'm sort of embarrassed to have to ask this, but I followed the link and went through the process of applying for one of the openings that I thought was the best fit for me. There are a few others I'd be interested in as well, but when I go to apply for those it already has my resume and cover letter preloaded and ready to go.

The cover letter was written specifically for that one job. So if I write a new one and upload it, will it be attached to every application I have submitted? Anyone understand what I'm talking about?

Thanks in advance.
