It Hurts

Today, whilst researching jobs (again) on JournalismJobs.com, I came across this post:

Full-time position covering town government, general news, features and events for a weekly newspaper in New Canaan, Conn. Entry-level position offers lots of opportunity to learn all aspects of the editorial side of newspapers with an award-winning member of the New England Press Association. News writing, InDesign and Web experience a major plus. Photography experience also a plus. Time requirement includes meeting coverage at night and at least two days working in the office. Applicants must submit 2-3 writing samples. Job location: Vitti Street., New Canaan, CT. To apply, e-mail editor@ncadvertisert.com with writing samples, cover letter and resume. 

 Now, you might not realize what this means, but I do.  This is the very same job I was "qualified" for in Connecticut! Same newspaper, same town.  Which means, the people he said he had that were local and could start soon, didn't work out.  Perhaps they were a bluff, trying to get me up there sooner, and I called him on it?  I don't know.  All I know is there is a position out there that I am qualified for that is sitting vacant.

This is a pickle for sure.  I half want to email him when I get my schedule for next week.  But still, there are money troubles.  It just pains me that, were this job in Maryland, it would be mine.

On a different note, this guy creeps me out.  He doesn't even know all the words.
