On the other side of the fence...

When I went through my jobless drought a few years back, I often wondered why it took so long for companies to get back to me when I submitted a resume. Now I know why.

No, it wasn't the man trying to keep your favorite Filipino down ;). The fact is that they probably get slammed with hundreds of applications a week. I just posted our want ad on journalismjobs.com yesterday and now my email box is overflowing with applications. It's going to a few days just to sort through the ones I have now, let alone the ones I'll get in the following weeks.

But this is a problem that I am glad to have. I'm glad because now, I am the man.
