Whoever wrote that job ad deserves a prize for humor writing. Take it from a former Gannett manager, the attributes they list, including "a strong sense of fairness and high ethical standards" are NOT what Gannett is looking for in a manager these days. But, people need jobs and Hattiesburg is a...

Jim is a pro's pro. He will deliver the goods, guaranteed. Plus, he's a huge Root Boy Slim fan. That's a sign of greatness.

From the Mississippi Press Association job board: The Cleveland Current, a locally-owned Sunday newspaper in Cleveland, Miss., is looking for a well-rounded reporter for our award-winning staff. We're looking for an individual that is ready to hit the ground running and provide quality copy for...

"In addition to prep sports, we cover Mississippi State University and other SEC schools." No, you don't. I second the notion that this would be a good job for a recent graduate. But don't be fooled by this ad. ... Did I mention that West Point is a terrible town?

A three-man staff has two openings a month into high school football season? What the hell happened? This is crazy even for The Star.

One caveat: As sports editor of the West Point paper, you will seldom, if ever, cover Mississippi State. Most of your time will be spent covering West Point High and Oak Hill Academy.

From the Mississippi Press Association job bank: The Daily Times Leader, a daily Horizon Publications newspaper, is seeking a sports editor with the vision, skill, passion to help make our great sports coverage even better. The Daily Times circulates throughout Clay County, a place where high...

Not anymore.

Based on the paper's Web site, Dale Constance (formerly of the Pontotoc Progress) took over as sports editor around mid-June. As for this job, the person who previously held it was basically the lead designer. She did the front page and most of the other inside pages every day. On Mondays, she...

Hope Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor see this, they aren't doing anything these days ...

The job is still open.

Duties include planning an implementing local sports coverage; leading two full-time sports writers; developing a reliable corps of sports correspondents; writing and editing copy for sports and other sections; designing and laying out pages for those sections; proofing pages; and assisting on...

Courtesy Mississippi Press Association ... The Laurel Leader-Call, a seven-day a week daily located in the heart of the Miss. Pine Belt, is seeking a sports editor with the drive, leadership, and skills to cover some of the best sports in South Mississippi. The Leader-Call circulates throughout...

We got nothing for Christmas this year, for the first time in anybody's memory. (For the last several years, said bonus had been a $40 gift certificate.) But they did lay off one of our writers. And the publisher got new hardwood floors in his office.

Josh, is the executive editor checking these messages before you post them? Or does he write them for you? For those of you who have never worked for Gannett and don't speak Gannettese, allow me to translate some of his statements: "The sports editors job is a good spot for someone who wants to...

The fact that the AA team is considering leaving due to "a lack of interest" strikes me as a good reason to do some in-depth reporting on the team. Jackson sold its soul to get that team and build that stadium, and I'm not certain that either side ever fully honored its commitments. Covering...

The job of sports editor at a small Gannett paper is the classic no-win situation. You'd have to be an idiot or a masochist to take this position. Once upon a time, the Sun covered University of Tennessee football and the Tennessee Titans, home and away. The Sun also used to staff Memphis...

This is a good sports section and Kevin is a great guy. Columbus isn't a bad town, either.

If you know the executive editor (it's the same for Lafayette and Opelousas), it's no surprise that they're having a hard time filling these jobs. Mean, stupid and cheap ... what a combination.

BOOM! goes your career.
