As someone who works for Megacorp, (I think), I can tell you that we post jon openings and hire contractors from several different contractor agencies, or no agency if we like the resume. Have you considered contacting that department w/in Megacorp directly? Or maybe sign on with another contractor agency and reapply for that position w/in Megacorp?

Humph. Good luck.

My dad had to give up a dream of a job because the company he worked for threatened to sue him if he went to work at this other place. Fuckers.

Wait, there’s a _new_ Ohio? What happened to the old one? We’d barely used it!

Oh, and **Guin** , scroll up. You already posted the story about your dad…five months ago. 😉 Freaky zombie threads.
