You certainly get some s*** in the post

Hello to the St Louis Post-Despatch, and aggregator Hire Daily, for a curious story regarding a disillusioned job seeker.

St Louis local Jevons Brown pleaded guilty to the crime of ‘mailing injurious articles’ after sending nearly two dozen packages filled with cat feces to employers who had turned down his job applications.

Brown was put on probation, given he has now found a job and has almost no record of criminal activity.

We don’t condone Mr Brown’s actions, but getting excrement via the post certainly makes a refreshing change from (and here comes a punchline) getting it via your candidate management system.
