Seriously, sorry to hear about not receiving feedback for your application. As Jeremy said, we do get a lot of emails/applications- and while that's not an excuse, it is a reality. Something that we are working on addressing better. My only suggestion is that if you do apply, do know that you're also welcome to follow-up. The best bet is to follow-up on the Channel Editor handling the blog. But, if you don't know who that is, you're also welcome to follow-up with any b5 staff. In any case, thank you so much for your interest in b5. As my colleagues here have mentioned, openings will definitely be a staple in the company. Not necessarily just because of turnover but also because of growth.

Having a handful of positions open (2 of them growth, 1 replacing aaron) should, again, be no big deal. The issue with applications is basically that we're now processing more than 5000 per month. We simply can't respond directly to everyone, sadly! We wish we could work with and respond to everyone, but we just can't anymore :-( If you are still interested, getting a blogger or ce to intro you to the team is a far better bet. Sucks, I know, but we haven't yet figured out a better way :-( Per aaron, replacing 1% of our bloggers is no big deal.

My most sincere apologies; I think I spend so much time with my own unwieldly name that simpler names elude me. @Aaron As long as I have you here, maybe you could explain the addition of a content director when there was already a content manager? ;) @Dave Thanks. I knew there was one more from reading them over the past couple of weeks and I think I grabbed that one instead of the one that had the strike-through. @Grant I believe I have now fixed all instances of goofing up your name.

As staff, I'm the only one leaving b5. The rest is a result of the company growing and us having to flesh out the positions more. I wouldn't read much into that. As for DS... yes it is new... and different. I've got big shoes to fill. :) Regular turnover of bloggers when there are 300 some can be expected. As staff, I’m the only one leaving b5.

By the way, it’s “Robertson”
