This applying for jobs stuff is for the birds. For the second time since Pink Slip Paradise began in June, I have been called to interview for a job in which I never applied. So, now I'm 0-for-2,153,048 on applications, yet 2-for-2 on out-of-the-blue interviews. Strange.
This time, it's with a little weekly newspaper based in northern Allegheny County, but under the Trib Total Media umbrella. The editors at the Trib sent my name to this newspaper editors when they inquired about possible reporters. The interview is Thursday morning at the old Clark Building on the North Shore, so I'll get to take a nice day-trip downtown. I figure I'll also be able to drop by the Tribune-Review newsroom and introduce myself to the Trib editor for whom I've been freelancing.
Should be fun times.

ReplyDeleteOh man. I applied for the same position. I hate competing with friends.
ReplyDeleteKim?
ReplyDeleteBe yourself Mike. You are a talented writer and deserve the job.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, brother. You're too good to still be on the sidelines.
ReplyDeleteI don't deserve anything more than anyone else, Scott. And I might have to throttle back on being myself, because think back about some of our Pod conversations.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get an interview, too, Amanda. We're not competing... we're surviving!
Workin for the conservatives, eh? Surprised you would stoop to that lowly level. Oh wait, your first job was at the Daily Mail, so you're used to it!
ReplyDeletework is work, mike. i hope things went well.
