We finally brought a gun to a gun fight.
I received a personal email about two weeks ago from the DNC Director of Personnel in Washington DC thanking me for my interest in a job with them. Here is a cut and paste of the email.
Thank you for your interest in the Democratic National Committee! I am following up on your resume submission for our HR Generalist opportunity. If you would respond to the following questions via email at your earliest convenience, it will expedite our consideration of your credentials.

I responded with the following in big bold red type.. “Is this a joke? I never contacted DNC for anything....”
She responded..” So sorry. Please forgive this error. There is a typo in the email address and this was meant for someone else. Again, I am very sorry.”
No wonder they are so screwed up!
