Agreed, grifter. I apply everywhere I could possibly want to work, and then see who is actually interested in me. That way it's easier and faster to find a job you want than do it one at a time. If I don't get anything back or I get a rejection, I really don't care, because the worst thing that can happen to you is that they say no. Then you move on.

 

At least they bothered to let you know, along the lines of what BYU said. It's no skin off my back if they don't tell me anything, but being told no won't cause me to have a breakdown either.

 

The only update I have for you is that Lee Cocheran himself sent me an e-mail this morning to let me know I wasn't chosen. He again talked about the overwhelming response they got to this gig, but they're moving forward.

Congrats to those that made the cut, and good luck to you!

 

What's an "overwhelming response" for a gig like this? I'm just kinda curious.

 

I don't know, but he did use the exact quote, "overwhelming response"

 

I am guessing in the neighborhood of 100-plus applications.

 

so, did they hire someone or are they just getting started in the process?

 

I hear it was filled over the weekend.
