Help wanted -- badly

Here's a story I thought I would share I found somewhat amusing.

This story is not with a newspaper, but a Tennessee-based publishing company which publishes newsletters and magazines mostly in the health care industry. I applied there for a managing editor position about two months ago.

Today I got a letter in the mail stating that they enjoyed meeting with me (I was never interviewed to begin with) and that they would contact me if they felt an interview was necessary in the future. They also told me they were starting the interview process over again. Just thought I'd share.

TN guy What can I say? Does anyone else have a story?
