ESPN looking for folks

Wow, are these anecdotes from applying for the 7 month Trainee position or a Stats job?

 

I worked in this department for almost two years and still have great, great relationships with everyone in there.

PM me if you'd like any details.

 

Some have more fun than others.

I'm surprised that took this long to hit the site. And didn't get its own thread.

 

It wasn't a matter of being good enough. I was certainly good enough. But jobs are weird sometimes. Since then I've been offered better jobs and been turned down for much worse jobs. Oh well, such is life.

 

I was just being flip.

There are good jobs and bad jobs everywhere. The stats job, from what I could tell, was complete immersion in numbers. No interaction, no nothing. You just pump out stats for every game. It wouldn't be a job I would have enjoyed, but would have been great for one guy I know. If it wasn't the right job for your friend, I'm sorry.

 

So, you had a great experience and that must mean everybody has? Sorry, IJAG. That's just not true.

 

I don't think I said that. What I said was that "abused" is an idiotic thing to say. No one is "abused."

 

a few co-workers of Michael Tirico and Sean Salisbury may disagree ;D ;D

 

Assuming everybody's experience is like yours is idiotic, but it isn't the first time you've done it.

 

Again, I'd love for you to find where I said that everyone's was like mine. In fact, YOU were the one who said "THEY abuse the people interviewing for their job, which kinda makes sense because THEY abuse them after hiring, too."

So if one of us was posting that everyone was treated the same by their bosses, one would have to take that as being you.

 

Hey mustang and NBAonNBC, did you both apply for a stats job, or were you applicants for the trainee program for studio production? Thanks fellas
