For what it's worth: I have the qualifications (wouldn't bother applying otherwise), and I did follow the instructions (it's difficult to "apply" otherwise).

Maybe I'm not "local" enough to constitute the "local talent" they claim isn't available.

[:0]For the love of God! This is almost as bad as your comment when the guy was dead from the elections department. Let me tell you I'm as "local" as the day is long, and old on top of it. It is not whether you have talent (I believe I have talent that could choke a few draft horses) or connections, it's how you present yourself in both person and written word. When applying for a federal, state, county, etc., job, protocol stands. Period.

kalakoa, you makes some extremely valid points, no question. Relentlessly. However, sometimes you do "push the envelope".

I stand with Mr. Tom on this one. JMO.
