Any updates on this job?

 

Anybody heard anything on this one?

 

I was contacted for an interview a few weeks ago. Was no longer looking for a position though. Not sure when it was filled.

 

I wan contacted for an interview as well, but I never heard anything back from them.

 

Hope they got the guy some help. I've covered a couple of Albany State games with him this season and he was having to run around like a chicken with his head cut off....

 

I wonder where things stand with this job. So far I know there are a lot of eating establishments. my cousin and his wife go out a lot.

 

Anyone hear anything on this job yet?
