Just days after the parent company of the High Point Enterprise announced additional layoffs in its printing division, this suddenly appears on the NC Press Association Web site:Reporter (posted 2/18/09)

it doesn't hurt to send in a resume,
I have...in the past.
But many companies in this area lack professionalism...many won't acknowledge the resumes you send them in the first place. So I'm not holding my breath.
Only problem about a job at the HPE, how long could you expect to keep it? After all, that group is SO well known for how well it treats its employees!
Hey, I sent in an inquiry several days ago just to be curious and they have not responded at all. That's real professionalism for ya! I've already moved on.
Sounds to me like they knew they were about to lose an asset and would like to replace him with something close and they didn;t consider you such.
Although your resume after the fact was quite the memorial. (I, I, me, me, mine.)
