My old man was from western New York state, right near the PA border about as far west as you can go in NY. The northernmost part of Appalachia. His home town is a ghost town, no industry, nothing there. Anyway, he always used to say that some day, some smart business was going to set up shop in Appalachia because there are plenty of rugged, hard working people, the kind that worked in machine shops and blast furnaces and tanneries and all sorts of god awful jobs before their areas became blighted. People that want to work and are smart enough to be trained to do pretty much any sort of work. Blue collar initially, but eventually even white collar stuff. But somehow even with the most powerful politicians in the country representing their region these areas with scads of poor folk never see a factory open near them.

Maybe it's happening finally. Looks like my old man's prediction is turning true, people swarming for the jobs.

WINNING for Americans who want to work.

Twice in my life, P&G contacted me and said they would be interested in interviewing me for an unspecified professional position. They just needed me to send my resume and fill out a little additional paperwork (which proved to be a lot).

Both times, I was actually looking for a professional opportunity and carefully complied with their request.

Both times, I got an obvious form letter stating that while they felt me highly qualified for "the position I applied for," they had decided to hire someone else.

I really have no problem with that type of form letter when you send in a blind resume for consideration. However, when they contact you and solicit you to jump through a bunch of hoops, I would think that a targeted regret letter would be the least I could expect.

Accordingly, I see them as a dishonest organization who probably uses their employees like disposable tissue. I don't care to even be a customer of such an organization.
