This would be a return home and a dream job for me.

 

[Mark2010]

Go for it, RBluhm. Good luck to you.

 

[MiamiBoy]

Definitely worth at least throwing my resume into the mix.

 

[valpo87]

I probably will as well. I just need to pick my best stuff (its a no-brainer but there are probably going to be a lot of apps for this).

Greg, if resume was already sent, do you still want the online application done?

 

[GLee]

I would send through the link online. It is the formal process around here.

So who hires an assistant sports editor first -- Indianapolis or Fort Lauderdale?

 

[jsimp]

Any updates or decisions made with this position?

 

[Bronco77]

Any updates or decisions made with this position?

No decision yet, apparently. I've been told they've gotten many applications and that there also may be a strong in-house candidate, but that's all for now.

 

[GLee]

We are in the process of interviewing candidates for this position. A decision will be made in the next week or two.

Congratulations to Teri! Refreshing to see candidates with experience (in this case, a LOT of experience) picked over fresh-faced journalists just off the street. And thanks for keeping us posted.

Well, that's one way to avoid having to pay for moving expenses.

 

[bevo]

It's Tribune. They don't pay moving expenses anyway.

 

[BTExpress]

Yeah, but at least they didn't have to risk a good candidate turning them down because of it.

 

[Riptide]

That's not fair to the candidate who got hired.
I've heard nothing but good things about her.

 

[valpo87]

Yeah, but at least they didn't have to risk a good candidate turning them down because of it.

Does anyone cover moving expenses? I would not expect that with any job offer since I would be happy if a position like this was offered. Besides, tax write off.

Gannett does. It won't necessarily cover everything, but they do give something.
